Appointment is booked!

Well, I’ve booked my appointment with top surgeon Angelica Kavouni at her Harley Street clinic for my first Sculptra treatment. It’s in a couple of weeks and it’s just hit me that I’m actually quite nervous! The whole needle thing is worrying me slightly, although having been through child birth, I think I have quite a high pain threshold so how bad can it be!

Nerves aside, I’m excited to see the results, although I won’t see any changes overnight. I’ve done a lot of reading up on it and it’s a technique used in medical circles for years so is tried and tested rather than some new fad. It stimulates natural collagen production, so it takes a while to see the results and you have to build up the treatment over a number of visits.

I am hoping to see visible results overall on my face, a fresher, well-rested face, more youthful-looking again – with a bit of luck!

I have always spent what I would consider a generous but not crazy amount on skin cleanser and moisturiser and I think I have been quite good over the years. I think I probably looked my best from my 20s to my mid-30s. Where I have been guilty is the blatant love of the sun, even though we don’t get much!

This is the first cosmetic procedure I have had although I always used to imagine I would have breast implants but luckily, through time, have realised that I have enough. Would just like to make them look 20 years younger!
