1. Anti Wrinkle Injections (Botox)With a total of 462 treatments performed in clinic this year Botox is our number one treatment by a country mile! In the year that 'Zoom Face' was a thing you just can't beat it for giving you that fresh faced look. During 2020 one of the things we had to consider was the length of time patients spent in the clinic having treatments to minimise contact, so with Anti Wrinkle treatments only taking around 10-15 minutes Botox was bound to be a popular 'quick fix' in more ways than one. 

2. Profhilo

For the second year in a row Profhilo is our runner up for 'most popular treatment' but only beat Dermal Fillers by one procedure! This year we did 188 Profhilo treatments and those who have had it are so happy with the results. There is really nothing quite like it - a quick and simple procedure which gives you firmer, tighter, hydrated, glowing skin with no downtime - I mean what's not to love? At the end of 2020 we also added Profhilo's big sister, Viscoderm Hydrobooster, to our treatment menu which works amazingly well in combination with Profhilo to tackle the dynamic lines around the eyes and lips. We are pretty sure this one will make the Top 10 in 2021. 

3. Dermal Fillers 

Moving up from number 4 in 2019 Dermal Filler treatment continues to be in demand with a total of 187 treatments performed. Our 3 Point Facelift has continued to be very popular as patients opt for a safe and effective alternative to facelift surgery. Non Surgical Rhinoplasty and Tear Trough Treatments have also been very popular this year. Behind the scenes we have been working on a special collaboration with one of our suppliers to introduce a brand new, innovative dermal filler which is being launched early next year. We are blown away by the clinical data and the results that this new product gives and can't wait to start using it in 2021. More on that coming soon!

3. Lip Enhancement

Dropping down a place this year we did 148 Lip Enhancement procedures. With new 'non medical practitioners' popping up all the time offering heavily discounted Lip Fillers we have seen the number of patients coming to Halo Aesthetics for this procedure drop slightly. Unfortunately for the same reason we have also seen a huge increase in the number of lip filler corrections that we have had to do. Sadly, many of these bodged lip fillers were done by unscrupulous non medical practitioners during the March-July lockdown leaving people with lumpy, deformed and unattractive lips until help could be provided by medical aesthetics clinics such as ours. We reopened the clinic in July and in the first week alone our Aesthetic Nurse corrected 'lockdown lips' for 7 patients. All of these people had had the procedure done in their own or the practitioners house during lockdown and many were very difficult to correct due the poor quality of the cheap filler that had been injected which was hard, lumpy and difficult to dissolve. We really don't want to see this trend continue into 2021 so please make wise choices when it comes to who you let inject your face. 

4. Halo Signature Facials

Last year our Halo Signature Facials were at number 8 and they have taken a huge jump up to number 4 thanks to the skill and expertise of our Aesthetic Skin Specialist Katie who has helped so many people achieve better skin through facial treatments and home skin care. There are six facials to choose from which cater for all skin types including acne, dry, rosacea, ageing, UV damage, sensitive and pigmented skin. Katie combines specialist products such as peels, masks and serums along with equipment such as our ProFacial machine, Plasma machine and Celluma LED Light Mask to give you a facial with results. We are very aware that many of you have struggled to get an appointment with Katie with lockdowns and restrictions causing long waiting lists to see her but fear not - we are on the case. We will be introducing another team member in 2021 to make sure that we are able to offer an appointment to everyone who wants one. More on that to come ... 

5. WOW! Facial

Up one place from number 6 our WOW! Facial is more popular than ever. If you don't know about the WOW! Facial then where have you been? This 6-step advanced facial combines a light skin peel, dermaplaning, microneedling, mesotherapy, LED light and the famous WOW! Mask to transform your skin in 90 minutes. Everyone who has had a WOW Facial with us has LOVED it and been super impressed with the results, reporting smooth, soft, glowing skin that lasts for around 3 months.
