Yes. All injectable products and devices used at Arra are clinically approved and sourced through legitimate medical supply channels. Dr Lim personally selects products based on their safety profile, clinical evidence, and suitability for each individual patient.
Natural, undetectable outcomes are central to Arra’s philosophy. Every treatment is calibrated to enhance your features without exaggeration; results that others may notice, but can never quite place. The goal is always to look like the best, most rested version of yourself, never obviously altered.
Longevity varies depending on the treatment, the area treated, and the individual. Anti-wrinkle injections typically last three to six months; dermal fillers twelve to twenty-four months; skin boosters six to twelve months. Dr Lim will provide a personalised outlook during your consultation and design a maintenance plan suited to your goals and lifestyle.
Most treatments at Arra involve minimal to no downtime. Some mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at injection sites is normal and typically resolves within a day or two. Dr Lim will advise on specific aftercare instructions at your appointment.
This depends on the treatments within your plan and how your body responds. Most patients return every three to six months for injectable maintenance, with skin quality treatments scheduled according to the protocol designed for them. Dr Lim will outline a clear, realistic maintenance schedule during your consultation.
Yes. All treatments at Arra are selected in part for their safety and efficacy across a broad range of skin types and tones, including darker and East Asian complexions that require particular consideration with energy-based treatments. Dr Lim’s extensive experience across diverse ethnicities informs every treatment decision.
Yes. Arra sees patients from their mid-twenties onwards, many of whom are seeking preventative treatment, skin quality optimisation, or subtle contouring rather than anti-ageing correction. Dr Lim will assess your individual circumstances and recommend an approach appropriate to your age, anatomy, and goals.
Yes. Arra welcomes male patients seeking aesthetic treatments tailored to masculine facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Treatment plans for male patients are adapted accordingly, with a focus on natural enhancement rather than feminisation.
Yes. Arra is well-suited to patients who are new to aesthetic medicine. The consultation is designed to be educational as well as clinical. It gives first-time patients a clear, honest understanding of their options before any commitment is made. Dr Lim takes a conservative, considered approach that is particularly well-suited to those taking their first steps into aesthetic treatment.
Yes. Arra welcomes patients travelling from outside the UK, and Dr Lim is experienced in designing treatment plans suited to patients who visit periodically rather than regularly. Mayfair’s central London location makes it easily accessible from major international transport hubs.
