Usually one to two weeks of swelling, bruising or tightness. Most people return to work within a few days.
No visible scars. The threads are placed through tiny entry points that heal quickly.
A surgical face lift gives a larger, longer-lasting change by repositioning tissue and removing skin. Threads give a subtler, temporary lift with much less downtime.
They are well established when placed by an experienced practitioner. Bruising, swelling and temporary asymmetry are common and settle. Less commonly, a thread can be felt or become visible and need adjusting. A PDO thread lift starts from £600 for a single area; the Korean V Lift, a separate mono-thread lift, is £1,600.
Typically 12 to 18 months. The lift is visible straight away, and the collagen effect develops as the threads dissolve.
LED light therapy, dermaplaning, peptide infusion, customised treatment mask, lymphatic drainage, and scalp massage. Add-ons are selected based on what your skin needs that day.
Yes — most facial protocols are well-suited to pregnancy and breastfeeding, with some product modifications (we avoid retinoids and high-strength acids during pregnancy). We adapt the protocol to what's appropriate for your circumstances.
At Dental & Wellness London, Islington, medical-grade facials are from £160 per session. HydraFacial is from £160 and the Illumi facial is £180.
Every four to six weeks suits most people, in line with the skin’s renewal cycle.
The label is not regulated, but professional-only products with higher-strength actives do exist. What matters most is that the treatment is matched to your skin by a trained practitioner.
HydraFacial is quicker and consistent, ideal for a glow. A medical-grade facial is more tailored, and better for a specific concern such as congestion or pigmentation. We recommend the one that fits your skin.
A medical-grade facial uses professional-only products, starts with a skin assessment and fits into a wider skin plan. A salon facial is usually more relaxation-led.
A clinical facial using professional skincare with higher-strength actives, tailored to your skin and delivered in a clinic. The term is not legally defined, so ask what products are used and who oversees the treatment.
Fillers restore lost volume and contour — cheeks, lips, jawline, tear troughs. Muscle-relaxing treatment addresses lines caused by repeated muscle movement and is a separate, prescription-only treatment carried out under a different protocol.
Yes — one of the advantages of hyaluronic acid fillers is that they can be dissolved with an enzyme if a result is not right or you change your mind. We keep dissolving agent on site as standard.
Roughly six to eighteen months depending on the area and product, as the body gradually breaks down the hyaluronic acid. Lips tend to be at the shorter end, deeper structural areas at the longer end.
Dermal filler at Dental & Wellness London starts from £350. Lip filler is £200 for 0.5ml or £380 for 1ml, tear trough filler £250 for 0.5ml or £395 for 1ml, and jawline filler £300 per 1ml. The exact plan is agreed at a £65 consultation, redeemable against treatment, and costed in writing before you commit.
Dentists understand vital facial structures, perform oral surgery, and work next to blood vessels, nerves and facial muscles every day. That anatomical fluency reduces risk and improves the natural balance of a filler result.
Hyaluronic acid fillers have a strong safety record when placed by a trained clinician who understands facial anatomy. The serious risks — chiefly accidental injection into a blood vessel — are rare and minimised by anatomical knowledge, careful technique, and keeping dissolving agent on site.
CPAP uses a mask and air pressure to hold the airway open, and is the standard treatment for moderate-to-severe sleep apnoea. A dental anti-snoring device holds the lower jaw forward to open the throat space, and is used for simple snoring. Sleep apnoea, and the choice of treatment for it, is managed by your GP or a sleep physician.
Often it helps substantially — weight is one of the strongest drivers of airway narrowing, and weight gain can also worsen apnoea. If snoring started or worsened alongside weight change, that's a meaningful clue worth acting on.
Yes. Diagnosis (the sleep study) and standard treatment such as CPAP are available on the NHS via GP referral, usually at no cost to you. Waiting times vary by area.
If you have any apnoea red flags — witnessed pauses, gasping, significant daytime sleepiness, or unrefreshing sleep — then yes, a sleep study via your GP should come before any appliance. For clearly simple snoring without those signals, a study may not be necessary.
Yes, for simple snoring. We make a custom anti-snoring device (a mandibular advancement appliance) that holds the lower jaw slightly forward while you sleep. A dentist cannot diagnose or treat sleep apnoea. If apnoea is suspected, it is diagnosed and managed by your GP or a sleep physician, and we work alongside them.
You can't know for certain without a sleep study. Witnessed breathing pauses, gasping awake, heavy daytime sleepiness, and waking unrefreshed are the signals that warrant a GP referral for a sleep test. Apnoea can also occur with little snoring, especially in women.
