Where your treatment takes place
We want to be clear from the outset. Newcastle Cosmetics has no premises in South Shields, and this page does not suggest otherwise. It is written for people who live around Ocean Road, the town centre, Westoe, Harton or the streets near Sandhaven Beach and are happy to travel into Newcastle for treatment. The Metro from South Shields Interchange runs into Newcastle, giving you a straightforward way in without driving.
Once your consultation is booked, we send you the address and any details you need for the day. If you live in Jarrow, Hebburn or Boldon, you are just as welcome, and our areas we serve page shows the full list of places our clients come from.
Cosmetic treatments available to South Shields clients
Our treatments fall into two groups. The first works on the skin's surface and texture, and the second uses injections to improve hydration or restore shape. Your consultation decides which group, if either, makes sense for you.
Treatments that work on texture, tone and hydration
A facial treatment is the gentlest option, combining cleansing, exfoliation and hydration chosen for your skin type. It suits anyone who wants a regular professional treatment, including people with sensitive skin who need a careful approach. A chemical peel goes further, using an exfoliating solution that may help with dullness, uneven tone and rough patches. Peel strengths vary, so we always explain the type proposed and what the skin tends to do afterwards.
For old acne marks and uneven texture, microneedling sessions are often discussed. The treatment makes tiny controlled punctures that encourage the skin to repair itself, and improvement, where it happens, builds gradually over a course. We check for active breakouts, infection and scarring history before agreeing that it is right for you.
Injectable treatments for adults
All of our injectable treatments are for clients aged 18 and over, as the law in England does not allow cosmetic fillers to be given to under-18s. Skin boosters aim to improve hydration and the overall quality of the skin without altering your features. Dermal filler treatment can add volume or refine contours in areas such as the cheeks or chin, and lip fillers can enhance shape, definition or hydration in balance with your face. Each carries risks and side effects, which we go through in detail before you decide.
What South Tyneside clients can expect from us
Making the trip into Newcastle should feel worthwhile from the first conversation. Here is what Newcastle Cosmetics offers every client:
- A free, no-obligation consultation before any treatment is booked.
- An honest assessment of suitability, including when a treatment is not the right choice.
- A clear explanation of risks, side effects and recovery for the option you are considering.
- A written quote that sets out what is included in your treatment plan.
- Written aftercare advice to take home, and a way to contact us if you have a concern.
Because prices depend on the treatment and the plan agreed, we do not list fixed figures. Our treatment prices page explains how quotes work, and you can request a free consultation to get yours.
Preparing for your consultation
A little preparation helps us give you useful advice in a single visit. It is worth having the following to hand when you come in:
- Any medicines or supplements you take, and any known allergies.
- Details of previous cosmetic treatments, including where and roughly when they were done.
- The skincare products you use at the moment, especially retinoids or acids.
- A note of any event or holiday coming up that could affect your timing.
What happens on the day
We examine your skin, talk through your history and listen to what you would like to change. We then explain the suitable options and confirm treatment availability, the practitioner and the price.
After the consultation
You can book a treatment date straight away or go home to think about it. Some clients prefer separate visits, and there is never any pressure to decide on the spot.
Aftercare and recovery when you live by the sea
Plan your treatment date with your return trip to South Shields in mind. After injectables, it is common to have some swelling, redness or bruising where the needle went in, so leave space before anything important in your diary. Following a peel or microneedling, skin can stay pink, tight or flaky while it recovers, and the length of that phase varies from person to person.
Sun exposure is the main thing to manage. Healing skin is more sensitive, and a bright day along the seafront or at Sandhaven Beach counts even when the wind keeps you cool. A broad-spectrum sunscreen and a hat will help, and we will tell you when your skin is ready for normal routines again.
Frequently asked questions about cosmetic treatments for South Shields clients
