What does 'longevity-focused training' mean?

Wellness

Training oriented to lifelong function rather than peak athletic performance — strength preservation for healthy ageing, fall prevention, mobility and joint health, balance and proprioception, and the foundational movement patterns that sustain independent function into older age. Different priorities than youth-athletic or aesthetic-only training.

How is the training integrated with the rest of my care?

Wellness

Coordination with nutritional therapy (fuel and recovery), psychotherapy or coaching (motivation, sustainability, life integration), somatic and bodywork (mobility, recovery), and broader longevity-oriented health goals. The training informs the other care; the other care informs the training. Integration is one of the defining differentiators.

I haven't exercised in years — is this for me?

Wellness

Yes — most of our personal training patients are returning to structured exercise or starting it for the first time. The 1:1 format allows complete adaptation to your starting point. Initial assessment establishes a sustainable starting load, with gradual progression as your capacity builds.

Is the personal training one-to-one?

Wellness

Yes — 1:1 sessions with a personal trainer dedicated to your case throughout the session. Programme is tailored to your specific goals, history, and concerns. Sessions are conducted in-clinic in a private dedicated space rather than a public gym environment.

Is laser rejuvenation safe for darker skin?

Body

It can be, with careful choice of device and settings, and a patch test first. Some treatments, including IPL, are usually avoided on the darkest skin types. We assess this at consultation.

Can I have laser treatment while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Body

No. We postpone laser treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding as a precaution.

How much does laser skin rejuvenation cost in the UK?

Body

It depends on the treatment. At Dental & Wellness London, Islington, pigmentation and facial vessel treatments are from £80 per session, and laser resurfacing and laser tightening are from £195. The consultation is £65, redeemable in full.

What level of body laxity can laser address?

Body

Mild-to-moderate laxity — post-pregnancy abdominal laxity (mild-to-moderate), mild upper-arm laxity, mild thigh laxity. Significant laxity is better served by body-contouring surgery (abdominoplasty, brachioplasty etc.) and we refer to plastic surgery if that's appropriate. We are explicit about non-surgical limits.

How many sessions do I need?

Body

Most plans are 3 to 6 sessions, about four weeks apart. We recommend a number at consultation based on your concern and your skin.

Can laser help my Caesarean scar or other surgical scars?

Body

Yes — mature surgical scars respond to the Lynton fractional laser through collagen-remodelling and improved texture matching surrounding skin. Multi-session protocols typical. Best results when started 12+ months after the surgery (mature scarring rather than active healing). We assess and recommend during consultation.

Does laser skin rejuvenation really work?

Body

For the right concern and skin type, yes. Results build over a course of sessions. It improves tone, texture and fine lines but does not replace a surgical lift.

How long does it take to recover from laser skin rejuvenation?

Body

IPL and Q-switched treatments usually need little or no downtime, though spots darken and flake over about a week. Resurfacing can leave skin red and rough for a few days.

How long until I see improvement?

Skin

Facials give an immediate glow; peels, microneedling and boosters build over weeks to months.

How much does dull skin treatment cost?

Skin

At Dental & Wellness London, HydraFacial, facials, peels and microneedling are from £160; Profhilo is £625 for two sessions.

Does microneedling help dull skin?

Skin

Yes, it supports collagen, texture and radiance over a course.

How much does a chemical peel cost in London?

Skin

At Dental & Wellness London, Islington, skin peels are from £160 per peel. Most people benefit from a course of 3 to 6.

What skincare helps dull skin?

Skin

Daily SPF, a gentle exfoliating acid, vitamin C and a retinoid, chosen for your skin.

How do you fix dull skin?

Skin

With regular professional treatments and a consistent home routine, rather than one treatment.

What is the best treatment for dull skin?

Skin

HydraFacial for a quick glow, and peels or microneedling for longer-term improvement.

What could be causing my skin to look old and dull?

Skin

Slower cell turnover, dehydration, sun damage, stress, poor sleep and smoking are common causes.

What results can I realistically expect from non-surgical laxity treatment?

Skin

Improvement, not surgical-level lift. Laser tightening: gradual improvement in mild laxity over 4-6 month timeline. Profhilo: skin quality improvement that softens early laxity appearance. Thread lift: immediate visible lift of moderate laxity, lasting 12-18 months. Combined protocols produce comprehensive improvement. We are honest about non-surgical limits.

How much does skin laxity treatment cost?

Skin

The skin and aesthetic consultation is £65, redeemable in full against treatment. Laser lift and tighten starts from £195 per session and skin tightening from £225. Profhilo is £350 per session, or £625 for two sessions. Dermal filler starts from £350, a PDO thread lift from £600 for a single area, and the Korean V Lift mono-thread lift £1,600. Combined approaches are quoted in writing after assessment.

What's the role of filler in skin laxity treatment?

Skin

Often substantial. Mid-face volume loss is a major driver of lower-face sagging — restoring cheek volume often improves jowl appearance indirectly by supporting the structures above. Filler doesn't lift skin directly but addresses the volume-loss component of facial ageing. Combined with laser tightening or thread lift for comprehensive treatment.

How do thread lifts help skin laxity?

Skin

PDO threads provide mechanical lift of sagging tissue through small entry points, plus collagen-stimulation effect over 3-6 months as the threads dissolve. Best for moderate facial sagging where filler alone has reached its limit but surgical facelift isn't yet appropriate. Lasts 12-18 months. From £600 for a single area, £1,200 for mid-face and jowl, and £1,800–£2,400 for the full face.

How does laser tightening help skin laxity?

Skin

It heats the deeper layers of the skin while protecting the surface, stimulating new collagen and elastin so skin gradually becomes firmer.
