One Clinic, Every Treatment: A Guided Tour of Wellface

YT Dr Yasmin Tayeb Published 30 December 2024 · 9 min read

Walk through the doors at Wellface and the first thing you notice is how much sits under one roof. This is a doctor-led clinic, so the treatments I offer have been chosen for how well they work together rather than for how they look on a menu. Skin boosters, injectables, energy-based devices, medical facials and a wall of prescription-grade skincare all live in the same space, looked after by the same team.

That matters more than it sounds. When one practitioner can see your whole face, plan a course of treatment and adjust it over time, the results tend to look calmer and more natural. Nothing gets done in isolation. A little anti-wrinkle treatment here, a skin booster there, a course of Morpheus8 to firm things up, all working towards the same quiet goal of looking like a well-rested version of yourself.

Here is a tour of what we offer across our Surrey clinics in Cobham and Esher, plus Wimbledon, and how the different treatments fit together.

Injectables, from softening lines to reshaping features

The word "injectables" covers a lot of ground, and at Wellface it stretches from the very subtle to genuinely transformative. At the gentler end sit anti-wrinkle injections, which relax the small muscles responsible for frown lines, forehead creases and crow's feet. The aim is never a frozen face. Done well, you keep your expressions and simply lose the etched-in look that can make you seem tired or cross when you are neither.

Dermal fillers are the other half of the story. Where anti-wrinkle treatment relaxes movement, fillers restore volume and structure that we naturally lose with age. A well-placed filler can rebuild a soft cheekbone, refresh tear troughs that have hollowed, or add definition along the jaw and chin. Facial contouring uses these same gel products more strategically, treating the face as a whole so that light falls on it the way it did a decade ago.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty

One treatment that surprises a lot of people is the non-surgical nose reshaping, sometimes called a liquid rhinoplasty. Using small amounts of dermal filler, I can smooth a bump on the bridge, lift a drooping tip or straighten an outline, all without surgery or general anaesthetic. It cannot make a large nose smaller, and it will not suit everyone, but for the right person it can bring the whole face into better balance in about twenty minutes. Because the nose is a delicate area with important blood vessels, this is very much a treatment for an experienced medical hand, which is exactly the point of having it done in a doctor-led clinic.

Collagen from within: skin boosters and biostimulators

Not every injectable is about adding volume or relaxing a muscle. A growing part of modern aesthetics is about waking up the skin's own repair systems, and this is where skin boosters and biostimulators come in.

Skin boosters are injected into the surface layers of the skin to deliver deep, lasting hydration. Rather than plumping one area, they improve the overall quality of the skin, so it looks dewier, feels smoother and reflects light more evenly. Popular options in this family draw water into the tissue and, over a course of sessions, encourage the skin to behave younger. Many people have them across the cheeks, around the mouth, on the neck or on the backs of the hands.

Biostimulators take a different route again. Products such as Radiesse and HArmonyCa do add some immediate support, but their real work happens over the following weeks and months. Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel. Once injected, it acts as a scaffold that prompts your body to lay down fresh collagen, so the improvement builds gradually and can last well over a year. HArmonyCa is a hybrid product that combines hyaluronic acid for instant smoothing with the same collagen-stimulating action underneath, which makes it a nice choice for restoring firmness along the lower face and jawline.

The reason I like these treatments is that the results creep up on you. There is no sudden change for other people to comment on. Instead the skin simply looks firmer and more resilient over time, which is usually exactly what my patients are hoping for.

Skin tightening and resurfacing with Morpheus8 and BBL Hero

For skin that needs more than injectables can offer, we run two of the most respected energy-based devices in the field.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 combines two well-established technologies, microneedling and radiofrequency energy. Fine needles create tiny channels in the skin while delivering radiofrequency heat to the deeper layers. That controlled heat is what triggers new collagen and elastin, and because the depth can be adjusted, the same device can treat fine crepey skin on the face or firmer, thicker areas such as the jawline, neck and even the body. Most people describe it as a firming and tightening treatment. Over the weeks after a session, and across a short course, the skin tends to look tighter, pores appear smaller and the overall texture becomes smoother. There is usually a day or two of redness and a slightly gritty feel afterwards, but most people are comfortable in normal life fairly quickly.

BBL Hero and Sciton laser

The Sciton BBL Hero is a broadband light system, and it is the workhorse for anything to do with tone and colour. Broadband light targets the pigment and the blood vessels that create an uneven, weathered look. That means it is excellent for brown sun spots and freckly pigmentation, for the diffuse redness and broken capillaries that show up on fair skin, and for the general dullness that follows years of sun exposure. It also has a role in stimulating fresher, healthier skin overall. Sessions are quick, most areas can be treated in well under an hour, and the sensation is often described as a light flick of a warm elastic band. Dark spots can look a little more prominent for a few days as they lift and flake away, then the skin looks clearer and brighter underneath.

Because these two devices do different jobs, one working on structure and firmness, the other on colour and clarity, I often plan them together as part of a longer skin programme rather than seeing them as rivals.

Hydrafacial and fusion facials for an instant glow

Not everything at Wellface involves needles or downtime. For an immediate, event-ready glow, I offer Hydrafacial and advanced fusion facials.

Hydrafacial is a multi-step medical facial delivered through a single handpiece. It cleanses and gently exfoliates, uses a mild acid peel to loosen debris, then extracts impurities from the pores using painless suction before flooding the skin with hydrating and antioxidant serums. There is no redness to hide and no recovery to speak of, which is why so many people book one before a wedding, a party or a big day at work. Skin looks plumper and brighter the moment you leave.

The advanced fusion facials use professional iS Clinical formulations to push things a step further, combining resurfacing acids with cooling, soothing and brightening ingredients to suit your skin on the day. These treatments are a good way to maintain results between more intensive appointments and to keep the skin behaving well all year round.

The product wall: skincare that keeps your results going

Ask me what makes the biggest long-term difference and I will point at the shelves. What you do at home between appointments matters just as much as what happens in the treatment room, which is why we stock a carefully chosen wall of medical-grade skincare rather than the sort of products you find on any high street.

The range spans several of the most respected professional brands. ZO Skin Health, developed by a dermatologist, is built around ingredients like retinol, vitamin C and growth factors for people who want visible change in tone and texture. Obagi Medical has a long track record with pigmentation and sun damage. The iS Clinical line, which also powers the fusion facials, is prized for its antioxidant and brightening formulations. There is also a range suited to teenage and younger skin, where the aim is prevention and good habits rather than correction, plus supplements such as NAD to support skin health from the inside.

Medical-grade skincare works at a higher concentration and reaches deeper into the skin than over-the-counter products, so it needs matching to your skin properly. That is the whole reason it sits inside a clinic. Rather than guessing between competing bottles, you get a routine that suits your skin type, your concerns and any in-clinic treatment you are having, so everything pulls in the same direction.

Common questions about treatments at Wellface

How do I know which treatment I actually need?

You start with a consultation, not a treatment. I assess your skin, listen to what is bothering you and explain the realistic options, including doing nothing for now. Because we offer such a broad range, my advice is based on what suits your face rather than on the one or two things a smaller clinic happens to offer.

Can these treatments be combined?

Yes, and that is often the point. A typical plan might pair a resurfacing device with skin boosters, or anti-wrinkle treatment with a course of medical facials. I sequence everything so that treatments support each other and your skin has time to recover between them.

Is there much downtime?

It depends entirely on the treatment. A Hydrafacial has essentially no downtime, so you can go straight back to your day. Injectables may leave small marks or a little swelling for a day or two. Morpheus8 and BBL Hero involve a short recovery of redness or flaking. I will tell you exactly what to expect before you book, so you can plan around anything important.

Are the treatments safe?

Every treatment at Wellface is carried out or overseen by doctors, using established products and devices. That medical background matters most with the higher-risk procedures, such as non-surgical rhinoplasty and deeper filler work, where knowing the anatomy is what keeps things safe. A thorough consultation, honest advice and proper aftercare are all part of the package.

How soon will I see results?

Facials and fillers give an immediate change. Anti-wrinkle injections settle over one to two weeks. Skin boosters, biostimulators like Radiesse and HArmonyCa, and energy devices like Morpheus8 build gradually over several weeks as new collagen forms, with results improving across a course of sessions.

Come and see the clinic for yourself

A tour of the treatments only tells you so much. The best way to work out what would genuinely help your skin is to sit down with me and talk it through. There is no pressure to book anything on the day, just clear, medical advice about what is realistic and where to start.

We have clinics across Surrey in Cobham, Esher and along with Wimbledon, so there is very likely a location within easy reach. Get in touch to arrange a consultation with me and let me put together a plan that fits your skin, your routine and the results you are after.
