What to Expect
Every transformation begins with understanding, trust, and a thoughtful plan designed uniquely for you
Your Consultation
The consultation is your first step in getting to know us, and vice versa. It is your opportunity to share any concerns about your face or skin in a supportive, welcoming environment.
A Comfortable Beginning
We understand that visiting a new clinic can feel daunting, but we are committed to making the experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible. From the moment you arrive, our priority is your ease and confidence.
Building Connection & Trust
During your consultation, you’ll have plenty of time and opportunity to build a connection with us, and for us to understand your relationship with your face and skin. This conversation forms the foundation of your journey with us.
Your Complete Medical History
We take the time to learn about your medical history, lifestyle, and specific concerns in a non-judgemental space. It’s also the perfect opportunity to voice any fears or anxieties you may have and for us to answer as many questions as you need.
Expert Recommendations
We use our extensive knowledge and expertise to suggest treatments that are truly in your best interest. We will not suggest treatments to explain what is happening and why to your face and skin you may be experiencing, so that you leave your consultation fully informed and excited about what is happening and why.
Complete Transparency
We believe in complete transparency and will always provide honest feedback. Every recommendation is bespoke and carefully tailored to your individual needs, and you’ll have plenty of time to reflect or ask questions about any decisions you do not want or need.
Setting Expectations Together
Together, we’ll go over what to expect from the treatment, including how long it will last, how the procedure works, what the experience will feel like, and any aftercare you’ll need. We encourage open dialogue, ensuring all your concerns are addressed and you feel fully informed and confident about the next steps.
The Treatment
Now for the exciting part: your treatment!
Your Comfort Comes First
It’s completely natural to feel a bit of excitement and nerves, but we are here to ensure you feel at ease every step of the way. Before starting, we’ll revisit everything discussed during your consultation, so you feel fully informed and know exactly what to expect.
Consent & Documentation
Ahead of your appointment, you’ll be sent a consent form to review, which will then be discussed in detail when you arrive. To track your progress, before-treatment photos will also be taken.
The Treatment Experience
Once you’re comfortably settled in the treatment chair, a numbing cream can be applied if needed to ensure you feel nothing but calm. After the treatment, post-procedure photos will be taken so you can see and appreciate the results.
Comprehensive Aftercare
We believe your care doesn’t end when you leave the clinic. After your treatment, we’ll guide you through any aftercare steps to support your journey, ensuring you feel confident and cared for every step of the way.

At the Dr Sonia clinic, our passion lies in achieving natural-looking results that celebrate your individuality. Your safety is always our top priority, and we will never recommend a treatment or product that isn’t scientifically supported or that doesn’t suit your needs. Every treatment plan is bespoke, and if a treatment isn’t right for you, we will explain why and work with you to create a more appropriate solution.
Dermal fillers, typically hyaluronic acid-based, are known for their excellent safety profile. As the body naturally breaks down the filler over time, they offer a safe, minimally invasive treatment when administered by an experienced professional. Every procedure carries some inherent risks, such as bruising, redness, or swelling, which will be fully discussed with you during your consultation.
Definitely not. Our focus is on achieving exceptionally natural results. From the outset, we listen closely to your concerns and then use our medical expertise to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. The goal is always subtle enhancement, never overfilling or making you look unnatural.
No, absolutely not. we will carefully assess your muscles before treatment to ensure that your facial expressions remain natural. The dosage is always adjusted to give you the perfect balance, allowing you to retain movement while smoothing out any unwanted lines.
Most of our treatments have minimal downtime, but it’s important to note that every individual’s response can vary. While many patients can return to their usual routine straight away, some may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising, especially with dermal fillers or certain injections. These side effects typically subside within a few days. We always ensure you’re fully informed about what to expect so that you’re comfortable and prepared for your recovery.
Bruising and swelling are common, particularly in areas like around the eyes or lips, but these effects are usually short-lived. We take every precaution to minimise this, such as using smaller needles or cannulas when appropriate and providing you with clear aftercare instructions to help reduce the risk. If any bruising or swelling does occur, it should resolve within a few days, and we will be here to support you through the process.
We understand that the variety of treatments available can feel overwhelming. That’s why we always take the time during your consultation to thoroughly assess your concerns and goals. Together, we’ll discuss what you’re hoping to achieve, and we will guide you through the options that are best suited to you. Each treatment plan is personalised to address your specific needs, and we will never recommend something that isn’t the right fit for your individual circumstances. The goal is always to enhance your natural beauty with the safest and most effective approach.
We always advise against scheduling any treatments too close to a special event or occasion. While most of my treatments have minimal downtime, there is always a small risk of bruising or swelling, particularly with dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections. These side effects are usually short-lived, but it’s best to allow at least two weeks before a major event to ensure you’re fully healed and feeling your best. We want to make sure you look and feel great, so planning ahead is key to ensuring the best results and avoiding any unnecessary stress.
Botox: Botox works by relaxing the muscles beneath the skin, which helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, particularly around the forehead, eyes, and mouth. It’s ideal for softening expression lines and preventing new ones from forming.
Dermal fillers: Fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume to the face, plump up areas that have lost fullness (like cheeks or lips), and smooth out deep wrinkles. They help create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance by filling in lines and sagging skin.
Regenerative Medicine: This includes treatments like Profhilo and polynucleotides that focus on improving the skin’s overall health by encouraging the body to repair and regenerate itself. These treatments are great for boosting hydration, improving skin elasticity, and reducing fine lines. They don’t just target wrinkles or volume loss; they work to restore the skin from within.
Not necessarily. Every treatment is tailored to your individual needs. Some people may benefit from Botox alone, while others may need a combination of treatments like fillers and regenerative treatments to achieve their desired results. We always start with a consultation to understand your concerns and create a personalised treatment plan that’s right for you.

What My Clients Say About Me
Rating
This was my first time I’ve ever had any aesthetic treatment and I’m so glad that I’ve come to Dr Sonia in Walton, it was an exceptional experience! She explained everything so clearly and tailored the treatments to what would give me the most natural results. She reassured me with her medical knowledge at what treatments I thought I needed, but didn’t and what treatments she recommended to get the outcome I wanted. Dr Sonia made me feel completely at ease, and instilled the utmost confidence. I have had Botox, skin peels and skin boosters. The results are spectacular and I could not be happier! I have started my skin and aesthetic journey with Dr Sonia and I know that this will be a lifelong relationship. I cannot recommend Dr Sonia enough!
Dr Soopen is a very professional and experienced clinician. My experience and the results of the Botox procedure is fantastic and by far the best I’ve ever had. Will definitely be continuing any treatments with Dr Soopen in the future.
Dr Sonia is very knowledgeable and clearly an expert in her field. She made me feel completely at ease and her consultation/ advice was really helpful. She made sure everything looked very natural and gave solid advice on the best options. I will definitely continue to visit Dr Sonia for all of my botox treatments.
Dr Sonia is a highly skilled, knowledgeable and gentle practitioner. I can't recommend her enough.
