Experienced Cosmetic Injectables for Golders Green Patients

You might consider cosmetic injectables if you notice fine lines around your eyes (crow's feet) or on your forehead that you’d like to soften. They also help if your face has lost some volume, especially in the cheeks or lips, and you want a fuller, more youthful contour without surgery. Many of our patients from Golders Green choose these treatments to look refreshed for a special occasion or as part of their regular self‑care routine. The aim is not to look different but to look like the best version of yourself. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and determine the best treatment to achieve them.

First you’ll have a thorough 30 minute consultation. We’ll discuss your medical history, listen to your aesthetic goals, and assess your facial structure. This step helps ensure the treatment is right for you. Next we’ll map out a personalised treatment plan. Anti-wrinkle injections are used for dynamic lines caused by muscle movement, like frown lines, while dermal fillers add volume to areas such as lips or cheeks. The treatment itself is quick, usually 15 to 30 minutes. We use fine needles to minimise discomfort and a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand. Finally we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment two weeks later to review the results and make minor adjustments if needed.

A 45-year-old client from Golders Green was concerned about lines around the eyes. After a consultation, we recommended a small amount of anti-wrinkle injections in the crow's feet area. The treatment took 15 minutes. Within a week she reported the lines had softened significantly, giving her a more rested and refreshed appearance without looking unnatural. The results typically last around 3 to 4 months.

A 58-year-old patient felt her face looked drawn. She travelled from Hampstead to our Finchley practice for a consultation. We used 1 ml of hyaluronic acid dermal filler in each cheek to restore lost volume and lift the mid-face. The results were immediate, providing a subtle lift and reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds. She was pleased with the natural-looking rejuvenation, which will last for 12 to 18 months.

After your treatment, follow simple steps to support the best results. For the first 24 hours avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and applying makeup to the treated area to reduce bruising and infection risk. You may have mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites; this usually subsides within a few days. A cool pack can help. For dermal fillers try to sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first night. Red flags requiring immediate contact include severe or increasing pain, skin discoloration, or significant swelling. During office hours (Mon/Wed/Fri 9 to 5, Tue/Thu 11 to 7) call the practice if you have concerns. For out of hours emergencies, visit A&E or call 111.

While injectables are effective, they are not the only option. For fine lines and skin texture, medical grade skincare with ingredients like retinoids or vitamin C can make a difference over time, though results are gradual. Other options include advanced facial treatments such as chemical peels or microneedling, which stimulate collagen production for overall skin rejuvenation. These options focus on improving the skin's quality and tone rather than targeting specific wrinkles or volume loss. We can discuss whether these treatments might fit your goals during your consultation.

To make an informed choice, ask the right questions whether you consult with us or another practice in the Golders Green area. Here are some key points to cover: what are your qualifications and how much experience do you have with this procedure, which brand of product will you use and why, what are the potential risks and side effects and how would you manage them, can I see before and after photos of other patients, and what is the total cost including a follow up appointment.

As a private practice, our treatments are not covered by the NHS. The cost of cosmetic injectables varies by product and amount. Anti-wrinkle injections typically start from £199 for one area, with discounts for multiple areas. Dermal fillers are priced per syringe and generally start from £350. During your consultation, we provide a detailed personalised quote with no hidden fees, explaining exactly what’s included. Please note that cosmetic procedures are not covered by dental insurance plans like Denplan or Cigna.
