Questions, answered honestly.

No — consultations at LUMOS are always free and without obligation. Unlike many clinics, we don’t charge for your first assessment. We look at your skin honestly, talk about what you want to change, and tell you what is realistically achievable — and what is not.

HIFU from £225, RF microneedling from £295, IPL from £95. Injectables vary: anti-wrinkle from £140 an area, skin boosters from £275, fillers and lip enhancement from £210. Consultations are always free.

One clinic with two areas of expertise. Anne leads non-surgical skin treatments (HIFU, RF microneedling, IPL). Georgie, an independent nurse prescriber, leads the injectables side — anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, lip enhancement, skin boosters and polynucleotides. Both work from the same clinic at The Coach House, Dummer.

HIFU is relaxing — most people find it comfortable, no anaesthetic is needed. RF microneedling feels like a warm prickling sensation; a mild anaesthetic cream is applied 15 minutes before, so it is not painful.

HIFU is typically 1–3 sessions depending on the degree of laxity, with results lasting around a year and an annual top-up. RF microneedling is a course of 3, 4–6 weeks apart; deeper acne scarring sometimes needs a 4th session.

HIFU has no real downtime — you can go about your day afterwards. After RF microneedling the skin is pink and warm for 2–3 hours and settles the same day; medical-grade tinted SPF30 is applied after 8 hours, and make-up can be worn the next day.

Anne uses the Focus Dual by Lynton — one machine that delivers both HIFU and RF microneedling. Lynton’s technology is used in clinical settings across the UK, including NHS dermatology referrals in some areas.

Yes — combining them is often exceptional for mild to moderate laxity: HIFU lifts from the deeper layer while RF microneedling refines the surface. We will recommend what your skin actually needs at consultation.

Honestly: very heavy laxity is beyond what non-surgical treatments can do and surgery would be the realistic route — we will tell you that rather than take your money. Pigmentation and thread veins need IPL, not HIFU or RF. Active acne should be managed before treating scarring. We do not treat during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
