Is the train better than driving from Sheffield?+
Usually, yes. There is a direct TransPennine Express service from Sheffield to Manchester Airport taking a little over an hour, which avoids the Snake Pass and Woodhead routes.
How long should I allow at the clinic?+
Allow a half day. That covers assessment, consent, local anaesthetic, the procedure and aftercare instructions without you feeling rushed for a return train.
What if the weather closes the Peak District routes?+
Take the direct train, which runs via Stockport and is unaffected. If travel genuinely fails, contact us as early as you can and we will move the appointment rather than penalise you.
What is P-Filler?+
P-Filler, also called A.P.E, is a non-surgical girth treatment. Medically approved hyaluronic acid filler is placed in layers along the shaft under local anaesthetic, in a single same-day appointment carried out by a UK GP.
What is the P-Shot?+
The P-Shot uses platelet-rich plasma taken from your own blood. Blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, then injected after local anaesthetic. It is designed to support tissue repair and blood flow rather than to add volume.
Who is not suitable for treatment?+
Suitability is decided at consultation. Active infection, certain bleeding and clotting problems, some medications, and untreated underlying disease can all mean treatment is deferred or declined. If you are not suitable, the clinic will say so.
Do I need a referral from my GP?+
No. You can book directly. Nothing is shared with your GP without your written consent.
Can filler and the P-Shot be combined?+
They address different problems, so some patients have both, usually at separate appointments. The sequence is agreed at consultation.
Will it hurt?+
Local anaesthetic is used for every procedure, and most patients describe pressure rather than pain. Some tenderness and swelling for a few days afterwards is normal.
How long is the appointment?+
Most appointments are walk in, walk out on the same day. Allow time for the consultation, the anaesthetic to take effect, and the procedure itself.
When can I go back to normal activity?+
Most patients return to desk work the same day or the next day. Avoid sexual activity for two weeks while filler settles, and avoid heavy exercise for the first few days. Specific guidance is given at your appointment.
