Services
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Our rhinoplasty procedures reshape the nose while maintaining or improving nasal function. Using 3D imaging technology, we plan each surgery to achieve natural-looking results that harmonise with your facial features. The surgery addresses both cosmetic concerns and breathing difficulties, performed by an experienced surgeon with over 500 procedures completed.
Non-Surgical Facial Reshaping
This treatment combines volumizers and wrinkle relaxers to achieve balanced facial proportions. We use advanced injectable techniques to target specific areas like nasolabial folds, jawline definition, and lip enhancement while maintaining natural facial expressions and movement.
Wrinkle Treatments
We use targeted injections to reduce facial lines and treat functional concerns like TMJ dysfunction. The treatment can slim the jawline, reduce gummy smiles, and address neck bands while preserving natural facial expressions through precise placement techniques.
Bio-Remodelling
This skin treatment restores the skin's protective barrier while improving hydration and texture. It addresses fine lines, loss of elasticity, and uneven skin quality through bio-stimulatory ingredients that work at the cellular level for lasting improvement.
Skin Needling
Our skin needling procedure stimulates collagen production without thermal damage. It improves skin texture, reduces fine lines and scars, and enhances overall skin quality through controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body's natural healing response.

Questions
What does the rhinoplasty consultation process involve?
Our consultation includes 3D imaging analysis to visualise potential outcomes and discuss functional improvements. We develop a customised plan considering both aesthetic goals and nasal health requirements.
How long is the recovery period after rhinoplasty?
Initial recovery takes 1-2 weeks with swelling reduction over 3-6 months. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
What non-surgical options are available for facial rejuvenation?
We offer wrinkle relaxers, volumizers, bio-remodelling treatments, and skin needling. These can be combined for comprehensive facial rejuvenation while maintaining natural expressions and movement.
Do you offer payment plans for surgical procedures?
We provide detailed cost breakdowns and can discuss payment options during your consultation. Some patients choose to use medical loans through third-party providers for larger procedures.
How do you ensure natural-looking results?
Our approach focuses on facial harmony rather than isolated feature modification. We use conservative techniques that enhance existing features while maintaining functional integrity and natural expressions.

Tried a few places for Botox but now only go to Lauren.She is skillful and incredibly friendly, efficient and the results seem to last longer than with other people I have tried. Do yourself a favour use Subtle Transformations.

My experience at Subtle transformations has been AMAZING!
Lauren and Patrick have been nothing but professional and caring throughout all my procedures. I started my journey at Subtle transformation with my lips I was after a natural look and that's exactly what I got. I felt minimal pain or discomfort , and was informed throughout the whole process! I was so impressed with the practice that I decided to start getting my Botox , chemical peels and eye brow lift there too. Lauren is very honest and knowledgeable and would never make you look un national. I have always been so happy with my results
