Non-Surgical Treatments for a Refreshed Appearance
Alongside our dental treatments, we offer a range of non-surgical facial aesthetic treatments, including anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers. These are carried out following a thorough consultation to understand your goals and confirm the treatment is suitable for you.
At Dental Arts Studio in City Road and Enfield, London, our team takes time to understand what you’d like to achieve and explains what’s realistically possible before any treatment goes ahead.
Facial aesthetic treatments are non-surgical options aimed at softening the visible signs of ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss. They’re generally intended to refresh and subtly enhance your natural appearance, rather than dramatically change it.
We offer two main types of treatment:
Anti-wrinkle treatments — a prescription-only treatment that temporarily relaxes the small muscles responsible for certain expression lines, such as around the forehead and eyes
Dermal fillers — used to add volume or soften the appearance of lines in areas such as the cheeks, lips, or nasolabial folds
Anti-wrinkle treatment is a prescription-only medicine, which means they can only be prescribed following a face-to-face consultation and assessment with a suitably qualified prescriber, and are not available on request without this assessment.
Is Facial Aesthetic Treatment Right for You?
You may want to discuss facial aesthetic treatment with our team if you:
Are unhappy with fine lines or wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions
Would like to soften the appearance of static lines or restore some facial volume
Are in good general health, with no relevant medical conditions or medications that would affect suitability
Have realistic expectations about the subtle, temporary nature of these treatments
These treatments aren’t suitable for everyone. They aren’t given to patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and certain medical conditions or medications may also affect suitability. A full medical history is taken as part of your consultation, and treatment will only proceed where your prescriber considers it appropriate for you.
Our Facial Aesthetic Treatments
Anti-wrinkle Treatments
This treatment uses a purified protein, delivered via a fine needle, to temporarily reduce the activity of the small muscles that create certain expression lines, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and lines around the eyes. As the targeted muscles relax, the overlying lines can appear smoother.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are gel-based injectable treatments used to add volume, hydration, or definition to specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks, lips, or the lines running from the nose to the mouth.
Your practitioner will discuss which treatment, or combination of treatments, is most likely to help you achieve your goals, based on an assessment of your face and your priorities.
Before Your Treatment
Consultation and assessment
Every patient has a thorough, one-to-one consultation before treatment, covering your medical history, the areas you’d like to address, and what’s realistically achievable.
Discussing your goals
Your practitioner talks through the options available and agrees on a treatment plan with you, tailored to your individual face and priorities.
Treatment planning and cost
You’ll be given clear information about the treatment, what to expect, and the cost before you decide whether to proceed.
The Treatment Process
Step 1: Consultation
Your practitioner reviews your medical history and discusses your goals to confirm the treatment is suitable for you.
Step 2: Preparing the area
The skin is cleansed, and a numbing cream may be used for dermal filler treatment to help minimise any discomfort.
Step 3: Administering treatment
Using a fine needle, your practitioner carefully administers the treatment to the agreed areas.
Step 4: Aftercare advice
You’re given clear guidance on how to care for the treated area and what to expect over the following days and weeks.
Step 5: Review
A follow-up may be arranged to check your results and discuss whether any adjustment is needed.
What to Expect Afterwards
Recovery and timelines vary between individuals and will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation, but as general guidance:
With anti-wrinkle treatments, initial changes are often noticeable within a few days, with the fuller effect typically developing over one to two weeks
Results from anti-wrinkle treatments are temporary and generally last several months before further treatment would be needed to maintain the effect
Dermal filler results are usually visible more quickly, often within a few days once any initial swelling has settled
You’ll usually be advised to remain upright for several hours after treatment and to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat (such as saunas or sunbeds) for a short period afterwards
Your practitioner will give you specific aftercare advice tailored to your treatment.
Benefits of Facial Aesthetic Treatment
For suitable patients, these treatments may help:
Soften the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles
Restore volume lost through the natural ageing process
Offer a non-surgical option with little to no downtime
Support confidence in your appearance
Results are subtle rather than dramatic, and how you respond to treatment is individual. Your practitioner will discuss what’s realistically achievable for you rather than guaranteeing a specific outcome.
Cost of Facial Aesthetic Treatment
The cost of treatment depends on the area being treated, the type of treatment used, and the amount of product required.
Some patients researching facial aesthetics near Old Street ask about treatments such as PRP facials alongside anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers. If you’re weighing up your options in the area, our team can talk you through what we currently offer and what’s likely to suit your goals.
Treatment fees
We provide clear costs before any treatment begins, following your consultation, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
Payment
Please ask our team for current information on fees and payment for facial aesthetic treatments.
Following your practitioner’s aftercare advice helps support your results.
Avoid touching or massaging the treated area — Unless specifically advised to, avoid rubbing or applying pressure to the area for the first day or so.
Stay upright for the recommended period — Avoid lying flat for several hours after treatment, as advised.
Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat — Saunas, sunbeds, and intense exercise are generally best avoided for a short period after treatment.
Expect some mild swelling or bruising — This is common, particularly with dermal fillers, and usually settles within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I suitable for facial aesthetic treatment?
This depends on your medical history and the area you’d like to address. Anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers aren’t suitable for everyone, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, so a full assessment is carried out at your consultation.
Does treatment hurt?
A fine needle is used for all treatments, and a numbing cream can be applied before dermal fillers to help with comfort. Most patients find the treatments quick and well tolerated.
How long do results last?
This varies by treatment. Anti-wrinkle treatments generally last several months before the effect fades, while dermal filler longevity depends on the product and area treated. Your practitioner can give you a more specific estimate for your treatment.
Will people be able to tell I’ve had treatment?
These treatments are generally intended to give a natural, refreshed appearance rather than an obvious change. Your practitioner will discuss the look you’re hoping to achieve during your consultation.
How much does facial aesthetic treatment cost?
Costs depend on the treatment and area involved. We provide clear costs during your consultation before any treatment begins.
Do I need a consultation before treatment?
Yes. Anti-wrinkle treatments are a prescription-only medicine, so a face-to-face consultation and assessment with a qualified prescriber is required before any treatment can be given.
Can dentists provide facial aesthetic treatments?
Yes, dentists with appropriate training and qualifications can provide facial aesthetic treatments. Our practitioners will be happy to discuss their experience and qualifications with you during your consultation.
