Dermal Fillers for Golders Green Patients | Dentist-Led Clinic

Dermal fillers address ageing signs or sharpen facial contours without surgery. They suit you if you want to restore volume in the cheeks for a gentle lift. Fillers also soften deep lines such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Some people use fillers to define the jawline or add subtle lip volume. The goal is a refreshed, natural look, not a drastic change. Results are temporary, lasting about 9 to 18 months, which fits those who want rejuvenation without long-term commitment.

The process starts with a 30 minute consultation at our Finchley clinic. We review your goals, assess your facial structure, and decide which filler and how much to use. On treatment day we apply a topical numbing cream for about 20 minutes. The injection itself takes 15 to 30 minutes. A fine needle places the hyaluronic acid gel in chosen sites. You may feel slight pressure; discomfort is usually small. We then massage the area to spread the product evenly. Results appear immediately, with final changes after mild swelling settles over a few days.

Recovery is straightforward with little downtime. In the first 24 to 48 hours you might see mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites. This is normal and can be helped with a cold compress. Avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and hot environments like saunas for the first day to limit swelling. Try not to touch or rub the treated area. The full effect develops over the next week or two. Red flags include severe pain, worsening bruising, pale patches near the treated area, or signs of infection. If you need help outside office hours, go to A&E or call 111.

While fillers restore volume well, other options may suit your goals. Anti-wrinkle injections help with dynamic wrinkles from muscle movement, such as crow's feet or frown lines. For overall texture and tone, peels or microneedling can help. If skin laxity is significant, a surgical facelift might be a longer term solution, though it involves more downtime and cost. During your consultation we will discuss all options openly to help you pick the treatment that fits your needs.

To make an informed choice, ask about their training and experience in facial aesthetics. Ask which brand of filler they use and why they've chosen it. Inquire about risks and side effects specific to your treated area. A key question is how they handle complications if they arise. Finally, request a clear price breakdown, including cost per syringe and any follow-up fees.

Costs in London usually start around £250-£350 per 1 ml syringe. The final price depends on the type of filler and the amount needed to reach your goal. For example, treating nasolabial folds may use one syringe, while cheek work could require two. We provide a precise quote at your consultation with no hidden fees. As fillers are cosmetic, they are not covered by dental insurance plans. We will give a full cost breakdown before treatment.
