Facial Aesthetics for Golders Green & North London Patients

Anti-wrinkle injections relax specific facial muscles that cause dynamic lines such as crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead creases. The treatment blocks nerve signals to these muscles for a short time, resulting in smoother skin. Results usually appear in 3 to 10 days and last about 3 to 4 months. For example, a Golders Green patient preparing for a wedding wanted softer frown lines. The quick 15-minute procedure gave a refreshed, natural look in photos.

Dermal fillers restore volume, smooth deeper static lines, and shape facial contours. Made from hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the body, fillers can plump lips, soften nasolabial folds, and define cheekbones. A Hampstead patient felt her lips lacked volume over time. We used a conservative amount of filler to restore their natural shape over two appointments, achieving a subtle, gradual improvement. Results typically last 6 to 18 months depending on the product and treated area.

You might consider facial aesthetics if fine lines and wrinkles make you look more tired or stressed than you feel. It can also help if you’ve lost facial volume in the cheeks or lips and want a fuller, more youthful contour. Many patients seek these treatments for concerns like deep frown lines or lines around the mouth. You are a good candidate if you want noticeable but natural-looking improvements and have realistic expectations. Our aim is to enhance your features without changing your overall appearance.

First, you will have a thorough 30-minute consultation to discuss goals, assess your facial structure, and outline the best options. We explain risks and benefits so you can decide with confidence. The treatment itself is quick, typically 15 to 30 minutes. We cleanse the area and may apply a topical anaesthetic for comfort, especially with fillers. Using very fine needles, the product is injected into targeted areas. You may feel a pinprick and some pressure, but discomfort is minimal. Afterward, we give you detailed aftercare instructions before you leave.

Right after treatment you might notice mild redness, swelling, or tiny bruises at the injection sites. This is normal and usually fades within 24 to 48 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and very hot environments for the first 24 hours to limit swelling. Do not rub or massage the treated area for at least 48 hours. With anti-wrinkle injections, the full effect develops over the next one to two weeks. Seek medical advice if you have signs of infection, worsening pain, or visual changes. Call our practice during office hours for guidance, and use 111 or go to A&E for emergencies after hours.

Injectables work well for many people, but other options exist. Medical-grade skincare with ingredients like retinoids and vitamin C can improve texture and fine lines over time, though results may be subtler. Chemical peels or microneedling can boost collagen and refresh the skin’s surface. These options help overall skin quality but don’t target muscle movement or large volume loss the way injectables do. In your consultation we can discuss whether a combination approach fits your skin goals.

When you meet with a provider in the Golders Green area, ask about their qualifications and training in facial aesthetics, which product brands they use and why, common side effects, and how complications are handled. Request before-and-after photos of their own patients and ask for a clear breakdown of total costs, including follow-up appointments.

As a private practice, our facial aesthetic treatments are not covered by NHS or typical dental plans. Pricing depends on the product type and the amount needed to reach your desired result. Anti-wrinkle injections start from about £190 per area. Dermal fillers start from around £350 per syringe.
