I recently had a laser treatment with Dr Denning at her London clinic, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience and the results. From the moment I arrived, everything felt professional, calm, and reassuring, which immediately put me at ease, although I was thinking more along the lines of a little filler and wrinkle relaxant, but was gently guided towards a more forward-thinking treatment!

What really stood out to me was how clearly the technical info of the treatment was explained. Dr Denning took the time to chat with me about how the laser works at a deeper level, targeting specific layers of the skin with various lasers to stimulate collagen production, reduce redness and refine the skin texture, while preserving the surrounding tissue. She explained how the wavelength selection and pulse duration are carefully calibrated to ensure maximum effect, which gave me real confidence that the treatment was both advanced and safe.

During the treatment itself, I appreciated how precise and controlled everything felt. The technology is impressive, and I could tell that great care was taken to ensure perfect coverage. Despite the sophistication of the process, the treatment was surprisingly comfortable, thanks to the cooling system and Dr Denning’s attentive approach.

Immediately following the treatment, my skin felt extremely hot and looked a little red, but within the hour had completely cooled down.  The explanation about the skin’s natural healing process, where lower levels within the skin involve the regeneration and gradual healing, really helped me understand what was happening beneath the surface. Over the following weeks, I saw a visible improvement in texture, tone, and overall radiance.

Overall, this was a great experience that combined amazing up-to-date technology with a genuinely personal touch. Dr Denning’s expertise and ability to communicate the science in layman’s terms made all the difference. I would absolutely recommend her clinic to anyone considering laser treatments.

To round off my appointment with Dr Denning, we agreed that a small amount of muscle relaxant would be useful around my eye area. A small amount was expertly placed around the brow to gently open up my eyes, as well as along the jawline to help relax the tight neck muscles.

I’ve had muscle relaxants to lift my brows several times over the past several years, but this is the first time the result has been so even and subtle. My brows were uniformly lifted in a way that looked completely natural, an outcome I was genuinely impressed by.

The treatment to my neck was equally successful, softening and making the ‘turkey neck’ far less noticeable. Overall, the results felt very much in keeping with a natural look.
