Before and after.
Consented client results from Refined Medical Aesthetics in Seaton Delaval. This is Rachel's house style: natural lips, softer profiles, fresher skin quality and subtle changes that still look like you.

What to look for.
A good before and after is quieter than people expect. We’re not trying to make you into someone else. We’re making small, structural changes that settle back into the way you already look.
Lip filler: look for hydration and definition, not volume. A good result restores the border and the cupid’s bow without changing the shape of the mouth. Natural lip treatments at Refined usually start conservatively and settle over two weeks.
Profile balancing: cheek, chin and jaw filler should bring the lower face into proportion with the upper. Particularly for clients with a recessive chin or tired mid-face. The result reads as a better photograph, not a different face.
Profhilo & polynucleotides: the change is skin quality, not sculpt. Look for brightness, a smoother texture and the “bounce” coming back into the cheeks and jawline.
Microneedling: scar softening and pigmentation fading are slow. A course of three sessions six weeks apart is realistic. Results keep developing for three months after the final session.
Why nothing here
is filtered.
A lot of aesthetic gallery photos you see on social media are run through skin-smoothing filters or taken in wildly different lighting. Refined’s policy is no filters, no retouching, matched lighting, same angle. If the before and after looks small compared to what you see on Instagram, that’s the point.
If you want to see more of a particular treatment, message Rachel. She can talk you through what is realistic for your face, your skin and your starting point.
