Facial Aesthetics Costs in Finchley: A Dentist's Price Guide

We offer upfront pricing with no hidden fees. The cost depends on the product and the areas you want to treat. At your initial consultation we provide a personalised quote. As a private practice, we do not offer NHS facial aesthetics, but we accept insurance plans like Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna for dental treatments. Please check with your provider if your policy covers cosmetic procedures. Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin) include: One Area £195 for example forehead lines, Two Areas £250 for example forehead and frown lines, Three Areas £295 for example forehead, frown lines, and crow's feet. Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid) price per 1ml syringe starts from £350. The final cost for dermal fillers depends on the type of filler and the volume required to achieve your desired result, which we discuss during your consultation.

These treatments suit dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines or crow's feet that appear with facial movement. They help restore volume in areas like the cheeks or lips as we age. Many patients in Finchley seek a refreshed look without surgery. You are a good candidate if you have specific cosmetic goals, realistic expectations, and you are in good general health. It is about enhancing your natural features, not changing your appearance.

First you have a 30 minute consultation to discuss your goals and medical history to ensure suitability. We explain the procedure and answer all your questions. For the treatment itself, the appointment lasts 20 to 30 minutes. We cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical anaesthetic for comfort, especially with dermal fillers. The product is administered with very fine needles. For instance, a patient from North Finchley wanted to soften forehead lines; the injection part took under 15 minutes. Finally we provide detailed aftercare instructions. A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled 2 to 3 weeks later to assess results and make minor adjustments if needed.

First 24 to 48 hours: mild redness, slight swelling, or pinprick bruising at injection sites is normal. These effects usually resolve within a couple of days. We advise avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours to allow the product to settle. First Week: For anti-wrinkle injections, results start in 3 to 5 days and are fully visible by two weeks. For dermal fillers, results are immediate, though minor swelling may mask the final outcome for a few days. A patient from East Finchley who had cheek fillers noticed immediate improvement in volume but felt the final settled result was best after about a week. Red flags during office hours (Mon Wed Fri 9-5, Tue Thu 11-7): If you experience severe or increasing pain, significant swelling, skin discoloration beyond bruising, or signs of infection after your treatment, contact us immediately. For emergencies outside these hours, call 111 or visit your nearest A&E.

While dentist-led treatments offer a high degree of safety due to our anatomical knowledge, other options exist. Medical aesthetic clinics run by doctors or nurses also offer these treatments. It is important to ensure they are properly qualified and insured. For skin texture and fine lines, treatments like chemical peels or medical-grade skincare routines can be effective but they won't address volume loss or deep dynamic wrinkles. For longer lasting results, cosmetic surgery is an option, though it involves higher cost, downtime, and risk. We can discuss these comparisons during your consultation to help you decide what suits you.

To make an informed choice, here are essential questions to ask any provider, whether it is our practice in Finchley or another clinic: Ask about specific qualifications and training in facial aesthetics, the brand of product used and why, the most common side effects you see with this treatment, how long you can expect your results to last, what the quoted price includes and whether follow-up appointments cost extra, what happens if you are not happy with your results, and whether before and after photos of the provider's own patients can be shown.
