Is a liquid facelift the same as a non-surgical face lift?

Skin

Yes, both describe a planned combination of injectable treatments.

How much does a non-surgical face lift cost in London?

Skin

It depends on your plan. At our clinic, Profhilo is £625 for two sessions, dermal filler is from £350, a PDO thread lift is from £600 for a single area, and the Korean V Lift mono-thread lift is £1,600. Your full plan is quoted in writing.

Can I have Profhilo combined with anti-wrinkle treatment?

Skin

Yes. The treatments address different concerns and can be combined. Most clinicians prefer anti-wrinkle treatment first, or in a separate visit, since anti-wrinkle effects settle in 1-2 weeks and Profhilo's effects take longer.

Can Profhilo be reversed?

Skin

Not directly. Unlike cross-linked HA fillers, which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, Profhilo's structure biodegrades naturally over weeks and the effect simply fades over 4-6 months. Reversibility isn't typically needed since the effect is subtle and gradual.

Is Profhilo better than dermal filler?

Skin

They're different treatments for different concerns. Profhilo improves skin quality and treats mild laxity without adding volume; dermal filler adds volume in specific areas. The right answer depends on what your skin actually needs, not which is "better".

How long does Profhilo last?

Skin

Most patients maintain visible improvement for 4-6 months after the two-session protocol. Maintenance treatment (a single session) is typically annual to sustain results.

How quickly does Profhilo work?

Skin

The mechanism is gradual collagen/elastin stimulation rather than instant volume. Subtle improvements begin around week 2-3 after session 1. The most visible result is at 8-12 weeks after session 2, peaking around month 3-4.

Microneedling vs laser: which is better?

Skin

It depends on your skin. Microneedling suits most skin types, including darker skin. Laser can be more targeted for some concerns. We recommend the best fit.

Does microneedling hurt?

Skin

Numbing cream is applied first, so most people feel only mild discomfort.

Is 40 too old for microneedling?

Skin

No. Microneedling works at any adult age, although older skin may respond more gradually.

Is 4 microneedling sessions enough?

Skin

Four is a common course for texture and pores. Acne scarring often needs more, and we plan this with you.

Is microneedling even worth it?

Skin

For texture, pores and acne scarring, yes. It is one of the most effective treatments with modest downtime, and results build over a course.

How much does microneedling cost in London?

Skin

At Dental & Wellness London, Islington, microneedling is from £160 per session. PRP can be added for £250.

Who carries out skin booster treatment?

Skin

Prescribed and administered by Dr Vishal Patel, BDS, MSc Aesthetic & Restorative Dentistry, GDC 103127, the clinic’s sole aesthetic prescriber.

How many sessions will I need?

Skin

Usually two or three, a few weeks apart, then maintenance every few months. It depends on the product.

Do skin boosters work under the eyes?

Skin

Yes, and polynucleotides are often the best choice for thin, crepey under-eye skin. Treatment near the eye needs care and experience.

How much do skin boosters cost in London?

Skin

At Dental & Wellness London, Islington, skin boosters are from £250 per session. Profhilo is £350 per session or £625 for the two-session course. The consultation is £65, redeemable in full.

Which skin booster is best?

Skin

There is no single best, only the best for your skin. Polynucleotides suit thin under-eye skin; Profhilo suits broad hydration and early laxity; Volite and Restylane Skinboosters suit hydration and smoothness.

What is the difference between a skin booster and a filler?

Skin

A filler adds volume and reshapes a feature. A skin booster improves skin quality, such as hydration, texture and elasticity, without changing your shape.

Why does tattoo removal take so many sessions?

Skin

The laser breaks the ink into fragments your body then clears over the following weeks. It takes several rounds of that to clear a tattoo fully, which is why sessions are spaced six to eight weeks apart across a course of six to eight visits for most tattoos.

How much does a full sleeve tattoo removal cost?
