Facial Aesthetics for Golders Green Patients | Dentist-Led Care

Consider facial aesthetics when you notice fine lines around the eyes, such as crow's feet, deep frown lines between the brows, or forehead lines that give a tired or stressed look. It also suits those who want to restore lost volume in the cheeks or soften the nasolabial folds from the nose to the mouth corners. Many patients want to look refreshed, not altered. You are a good candidate if you want non surgical treatments with minimal downtime, delivered by a medical professional with strong knowledge of facial structures.

Your process begins with a 30 minute consultation to discuss goals and assess your facial structure to choose the right treatment. For anti wrinkle injections the procedure is quick, taking about 15 to 20 minutes. Very fine needles are used to place product into specific muscles with minimal discomfort. For dermal fillers the appointment lasts around 30 to 45 minutes, and a topical anaesthetic is applied first to ensure comfort. We then gently inject the hyaluronic acid based filler to restore volume. A follow up appointment is scheduled 2 to 3 weeks later to review results and make any minor adjustments if needed. Anti wrinkle injections typically last 3 to 4 months, while dermal fillers last from 6 to 18 months.

A recent patient, a 45 year old professional from Golders Green, was concerned about deep frown lines making her look stern during meetings. We used anti wrinkle injections to relax the muscles between her brows. The treatment took 15 minutes, and within a week she reported a softer, more approachable appearance. Another patient in her 50s felt she had lost volume in her cheeks. We used dermal fillers to lift and contour the area, restoring a more youthful shape. She was pleased with the natural looking result achieved in a single 40 minute session.

After anti wrinkle injections you can return to most normal activities immediately. We advise avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, and lying flat for the first 4 to 6 hours. You might notice small red bumps at the injection sites, but these usually fade within 30 minutes. With dermal fillers you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days. We recommend avoiding alcohol and intense exercise for the first 24 hours and using a cold compress to manage swelling. If you notice increasing pain, significant swelling, or skin discoloration, contact us immediately during office hours (Mon/Wed/Fri 9-5, Tue/Thu 11-7).

While injectables are highly effective, other options exist. Medical grade skincare with retinoids and antioxidants can improve skin texture and fine lines over time, though results are less dramatic. For deeper wrinkles or skin laxity, treatments like chemical peels or laser resurfacing from dermatologists may be more suitable, but these often involve more downtime and higher costs. During your consultation we can discuss whether our treatments fit your goals or if another approach might work better.

To stay safe and well informed whether you visit us or another practice in the Golders Green area, ask these essential questions: What are your specific qualifications and training in facial aesthetics? What brand of product do you use and why? How many of these procedures have you performed? What are the potential risks and side effects for my specific treatment? Can I see before and after photos of previous patients? What is the total cost and what does it include? How do you manage complications if they arise?

The final cost depends on the amount of product needed to achieve your desired result, which we confirm in a personalised quote during your consultation.
