Been treated at TweakBoutique? I'd be very grateful for a Google review.
If I ask about a treatment, she doesn't simply agree to do it. She'll explain what it will achieve, what it won't, and whether it actually makes sense for the result I'm looking for. On more than one occasion, she's advised me not to have something done, which, to me, says everything.

I always feel in very safe hands with Julie. She explains everything at every stage and instills complete confidence. Her results are fantastic. I left with a very fresh, well rested look, without looking like I had had any obvious procedures.

My approach
My approach is calm, precise and bespoke. I build every treatment plan around gentle, gradual improvement: a small amount first, a review once your face has settled, and more only if you want it.
My patients range from their 20s to peri- and post-menopause, as well as people noticing the first changes in their skin texture and facial structure. Whatever your age or stage, my focus is the same: understated results that respect your face and your concerns.
My background
I qualified as a dentist over 30 years ago and I still work in private dental practice. That's three decades of close work on the mouth, jaw and lower face, the same areas many filler treatments work on.
I've been an aesthetic injector since 2006, and I hold a Level 7 Diploma in Facial Aesthetic Injections from the MATA Academy in Harley Street.
The clinic
TweakBoutique is a single treatment room on Shoreham Beach, with a view of the sea painted across the walls. I space appointments out, so you have my full attention for as long as your appointment needs.
Every treatment starts with a consultation, and I confirm your price before anything is booked.
From £295. Cheeks, chin, jawline, tear troughs, marionette and nasolabial lines.
From £295. Subtle, natural and hydrated, built up gradually.
From £200 a session. Fine lines, pores, pigmentation, scars and stretch marks.
£600 for the initial course. Deep hydration for the face or neck.
£800 for a course of three. Skin quality, and under-eye hollows and dark circles.
Real results from my patients, shared with their permission.
How it works
Consultations are £50 and take 45 minutes.
We talk about what you've noticed and what you'd like to change. I look at your face at rest and in movement and tell you what's realistic. Sometimes the honest advice is to wait.
If you decide to go ahead, I use small amounts and explain what I'm using, where and why before I start.
You come back after two weeks, once everything has settled, and we decide together whether anything more is needed.
That's the thing I work hardest to avoid. I use small amounts and review before adding more, so changes arrive gradually. The aim is that people tell you that you look well.
With a consultation. Skin texture, lost volume and movement lines are three different problems, and they need different answers. I'll tell you which one is behind what you see in the mirror.
Yes, and a large part of the clinic is women at exactly that stage. Skin gets drier, collagen drops away faster and the face loses support more quickly. Treatment at this point is usually about skin quality and gentle support.
Filler lasts around two years in most areas, and full-face treatment at least three. Skin treatments work as a course with occasional maintenance. The detail is on the results page.
