with prof. rabia khan
Prof. Rabia is the Education Director of ICE, is a qualified Dentist and Aesthetician and is the Course Leader of the PG Cert Non-Surgical Facial Aesthetics programme at ICE/The University of Salford.
We provide a range of the highest quality non-surgical advanced aesthetic procedures, offering thorough consultation, provided by a qualified and experienced practitioner in the safest environment.
Your health and wellbeing is our absolute priority and we want to help you to feel beautiful, calm and confident in your own skin.
Facial aesthetic treatments can add volume and smoothness to your skin, subtly refreshing your appearance. They can also add more symmetry to your appearance by making small adjustments to certain areas of your face.
We endeavour to provide the best possible service by remaining up-to-date with all the latest treatments and techniques, enabling us to provide our patients with optimal results.
Treatments we offer
Anti-wrinkle injections
A facial injection which relaxes the facial muscles, smoothing out wrinkles and crease lines to create a more youthful look.
Treatments include:
Forehead, frown lines and around eyes treatment
Neck bands treatment
Gummy smile treatment
Teeth grinding treatment
Excessive sweating treatment
Dermal filler treatments
Lip filler
This treatment is used to add volume to your lips and enhance or correct their shape.
Cheek filler
This treatment involves injecting filler to the cheek area which will add volume and definition and will give an instant face lift.
Chin filler
This treatment is used to reshape the chin and improve jaw definition, achieving a naturally enhanced profile.
Jaw filler
This treatment helps to create a more defined jawline and balanced face shape.
Tear trough filler
This treatment is highly effective in reducing the hollow appearance between the upper cheek and eyelids
Nasolabial and Marionette filler
This treatment gives an instant face lift as it works on the lines that run from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth, as well as the lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin.
Smoker’s line filler
Smokers’ lines appear with age because of the repetitive facial expressions that we make daily. The thin lines run from the top lip towards the nose and can become more prominent over time, making patients feel self-conscious. Although they can be accelerated by smoking, the lines are also common in non-smokers.
Skin boosters
This treatment tightens and hydrates the skin by stimulating the production of four types of collagens and elastin. The treatment works by slowly releasing hyaluronic acid and can significantly improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helping to increase hydration and firmness, resulting in a more youthful complexion.
Chemical peel
A chemical peel brightens, exfoliates and rejuvenates the skin, reducing the appearance of lines, stimulating cell growth and collagen production, thus improving overall texture and tone.
Immune injections
Our Immuno-booster IV nutritional drip helps boost your immune system performance by utilising a bespoke blend of vitamins, minerals, nutrients and supplements to improve your wellbeing.
Fat dissolving injections
Fat dissolving injections are a good option for permanently removing unwanted fat cells in localised areas. The idea of fat–dissolving injections sounds almost too good to be true, but they can be very effective.
Platelet rich injections for hair and face
PRP treatments work by triggering natural hair growth and skin rejuvenation naturally, by increasing the blood supply to the skin and scalp.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first step?
The first step is to book for a consultation appointment. This will take around 15-30 minutes, you’ll be under no obligation and discretion is assured. Our clinician will meet with you over a cup of tea or coffee; they will chat with you and discuss your goals. They will offer their expertise and advice on how to best achieve these goals and you will have an opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.
Will I be sore, swollen or bruised afterwards?
You might find a little bruising and/or swelling for a few days after your treatment. This is a normal response from your body as a result of having treatment with an injection. However, this response can vary from client to client and treatment to treatment; one day you may respond differently than previously to the same treatment and most treatments heal very quickly.
How long will the effects of my treatment last?
Dermal Fillers
Results are usually immediate; however, they can take up to 2 weeks to fully integrate and settle. The visible effect of dermal filler treatment can last between 3-6 months generally, depending on the filler used and the treated area.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
You will notice an improvement in lines and the skin will appear smoother over the next five to ten days. However, the full effect will be visible 2 weeks later, at which point our clinician may wish to see you for a treatment review, especially if you are a new client. At the review appointment our clinician will assess whether any adjustments are desired. If so, this is at no extra cost to you. The review appointment is a great way for our clinician to gauge your satisfaction and to achieve the most favourable results for you.
How safe is the treatment? Are there any side effects?
We only use FDA approved products. The risk of complications is low when used correctly by experienced practitioners and if a complication was to occur, we would be fully able to address and treat this as we have an extensive support network for our clients. Risk of allergy to fillers and anti-wrinkle injections is very low. During your initial consultation we will discuss any risks based on your medical history.
Is the treatment painful?
Just prior to all procedures we apply a very effective topical anaesthetic cream. This is left on for 15-20 minutes and will numb the area due to be treated.
How long will my treatment appointment take?
Typically, a dermal filler treatment appointment will last around sixty minutes. This will allow ample time for you to ask any questions you may still have prior to starting your treatment.
What will happen if I stop having treatments?
If you decide to stop having treatments, the results will wear off gradually and you will return to your normal appearance without any lasting effects or visible changes.
