Facial Aesthetics in Golders Green by a Dental Professional

If you notice fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, or between the brows, facial aesthetic treatments become a possibility. If your face has lost some volume in the cheeks or lips and you want to restore fullness, this could help. Many patients choose a dentist for these treatments because safety is a priority and they value a clinician with a deep, clinical understanding of facial muscles and structure. If you want a non surgical way to soften signs of aging and look fresher, this could be the right path for you. Treatment suits adults who want to manage aging signs or restore facial harmony.

Your treatment begins with a detailed 30 minute consultation. We discuss your goals, review your facial structure, and explain suitable options. We also review your medical history to ensure safety. On the day of the procedure, we cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical anaesthetic for comfort. Your practitioner marks the precise injection points. The injection itself is quick, typically 15 to 20 minutes, using ultra fine needles to reduce discomfort. Afterward, we provide detailed aftercare instructions. A follow up is usually scheduled about two weeks later to review results and make minor adjustments if needed.

A 45 year old client from Golders Green was concerned about deep frown lines that made her look tired. After a consultation, anti wrinkle injections were administered to the glabella region. The result was a noticeably smoother forehead and a more relaxed, approachable appearance in a single 20 minute session. Another patient, a 58 year old from Hampstead Garden Suburb, wanted to address volume loss in her cheeks. We used dermal fillers to restore contour and lift. The treatment took around 30 minutes, and she left looking subtly rejuvenated, with results lasting over 12 months.

After treatment you may see mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. This is normal and generally subsides within a day or two. For the first 24 to 48 hours avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and extreme heat such as saunas or steam rooms to limit swelling. Do not rub or massage the treated area for at least 24 hours. A cool pack can help reduce swelling. Most people return to their daily activities right away. Red flags requiring immediate contact include severe pain, swelling that worsens, skin colour changes other than bruising, or signs of infection. For after hours emergencies, go to A&E or call 111.

Injectables work well for many people, but there are other options. A steady skincare routine with ingredients like retinoids and vitamin C can improve texture and reduce fine lines over time, though results are slower. For stronger results, procedures such as chemical peels or laser resurfacing can address skin tone and texture. These approaches may require more downtime and cost. During your consultation, we discuss whether injectables or another route best helps you reach your goals.

To make an informed choice about your care, you should ask about the clinician’s specific qualifications and training in facial aesthetics, how many years they have performed these treatments, the brand of product used and the reason for choosing it, the most common side effects, the total cost including follow up, who to contact with concerns after the procedure, and whether the provider can show before and after photos of previous patients.

Facial aesthetics are offered as a private service and are not covered by dental insurance. Prices for anti wrinkle injections usually start from around £199 for a single area. Dermal filler costs vary by the type of filler and the amount used, with prices starting from £300 per syringe. We provide a detailed personalised quote during your initial consultation so you know the full cost before proceeding.
