Dentist-Led Facial Aesthetics for Golders Green Patients

Facial aesthetic treatments can soften expression lines or restore volume for a refreshed look. Many of our Golders Green patients come with concerns such as frown lines between the brows, crow's feet around the eyes, or forehead lines. You may be a candidate if you notice thinning lips or deeper lines around the mouth and prefer a non surgical option. The goal is to look like a well rested version of yourself. A consultation is the first step to see if these treatments suit you.

First you have a 30 minute consultation where we discuss goals and assess your facial structure to create a personalised plan. For the treatment itself the process is quick and usually takes 15 to 20 minutes. We cleanse the area and use a very fine needle for the injections and most patients feel only minor pinching. For dermal fillers a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand. Finally we give aftercare instructions. Results from anti wrinkle injections appear within 3 to 10 days, while dermal filler results are immediate. For example a Golders Green patient recently came in for frown lines before a wedding; the treatment took 15 minutes and the full effect was visible a week later.

Recovery after treatment is minimal. You may see slight redness, tiny bruises, or mild swelling at the injection sites, which usually fade within a few hours to a couple of days. Avoid touching the treated area for at least 12 hours. Also limit strenuous exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for 24 hours to let the product settle. We schedule a follow up two weeks after treatment to check results and make any small tweaks if needed. Call our practice during office hours if you have severe pain, spreading discoloration, or signs of infection. For after hours go to A and E or call 111.

As these are cosmetic procedures they are not covered by dental insurance such as Denplan or Cigna. We provide full pricing details during your consultation. Anti wrinkle injections are charged per area, while dermal fillers are priced per syringe. A recent client needed one syringe of filler; the cost and procedure were explained upfront with no hidden fees. We will provide a detailed quote based on your treatment plan so you can decide with no pressure.

While injectables give reliable results, other options exist. Medical grade skincare and chemical peels can improve texture and tone but may not address volume loss or deep dynamic wrinkles as well. For more dramatic and lasting results, surgical options like a facelift or brow lift are available but they are more invasive, carry higher risks, involve longer recovery, and cost more. During your consultation we can discuss whether our minimally invasive options fit your goals.

To ensure you get safe and effective treatment whether with us or another practice serving Golders Green, here are key questions to ask: Ask about your qualifications and training in facial aesthetics. Which brand of product do you use and why. What side effects are common. How will you handle any complications. Can I see before and after photos of your patients. What is the total cost including follow up appointments.
