Anna Hargreaves Aesthetics

A little day off. 🤍

Clinic can wait for today.

Spending the day at the theatre with my mum and sister, making memories and enjoying some much-needed quality time together.

Grateful for days like these that help me recharge before another busy week doing what I love. ✨

POV: Getting ready for my next Netflix series… except the cast are my patients and the drama is deciding whether they really need treatment.

A typical day in clinic is never boring, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

What’s the last series you binge-watched? 🍿

Things many patients don’t know about dermal fillers… 👇

Not all dermal fillers are the same.

There are significant differences in:
• The quality of the product
• How the filler behaves once injected
• How long it lasts
• How natural it looks and feels

Different brands have different levels of research, manufacturing standards and consistency. Choosing the right product is just as important as choosing the right practitioner.

You may also wonder why prices vary so much between clinics.

The cost isn’t just the syringe.

It includes:
• The quality of the product being used
• Medical training and ongoing education
• Knowledge of facial anatomy
• Time spent assessing your face and creating a personalised treatment plan
• Emergency medicines and equipment
• Insurance, clinic costs and safe prescribing standards

When you choose a qualified medical professional, you’re investing in experience, safety and natural looking results not just the treatment itself.

Price should never be the only factor when choosing who injects your face.

Would you like me to do a series on “Things patients don’t know about aesthetics”? I have a list of topics that I think would perform really well.

Knowing what medication you’re taking isn’t just a box to tick it’s an important part of keeping your treatment safe.

Whether it’s antibiotics, acne medication, blood thinners, weight-loss injections or anything else, it can influence how and when I treat you.

So please don’t worry about telling me everything… I’d much rather know than guess!

(And yes… this happens more often than you’d think! 😂)

Facial rejuvenation is a journey, not a one-appointment fix.

This beautiful result was achieved gradually, allowing each treatment to settle before deciding on the next step.

Treatment journey:
• 1ml lips
• 4-week review
• A further 1ml to refine shape and balance
• Mid-cheeks and pyriform fossa to restore facial support and soften the lower face

Rather than treating one area in isolation, we looked at the face as a whole.

By restoring support through the mid-face, we were able to improve facial harmony, soften the appearance of the smile lines and create a fresher, more balanced appearance while keeping everything natural.

Sometimes the best results come from treating the areas that cause the changes, not just the areas where you first notice them.

Every face is different, which is why every treatment plan should be tailored to you.

Natural. Balanced. You, just refreshed.

Not everyone is suitable for injectable treatments and that’s a good thing.

One of the most important parts of any appointment happens before a needle is ever picked up: the consultation.

Your medical history, medications, lifestyle and treatment goals are all carefully assessed to make sure treatment is safe and appropriate for you. Whether you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have an active infection, certain medical conditions, or simply aren’t the right candidate for the result you’re hoping to achieve, your safety will always come first.

As a medical professional, I’ll always be honest. If I don’t think a treatment is right for you, I’ll explain why and discuss the most suitable options.

Because good aesthetics isn’t about treating everyone it’s about treating the right people, safely.
