Yes. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed (£180).
Usually 9 to 18 months, because the area moves relatively little.
Only if the darkness is a shadow from a hollow. Pigment, visible vessels or under-eye bags need different approaches, and filler can make bags look worse.
It is one of the more demanding areas to treat, because the skin is thin and blood vessels are close by. In experienced hands, with careful selection and small amounts, it is well established. Bruising and swelling are the most common side effects.
At Dental & Wellness London, Islington, tear trough filler is £250 for 0.5ml or £395 for 1ml. The aesthetic consultation is £65, redeemable in full against treatment.
Yes, it is a common combination.
With a trained prescriber, yes. Side effects are usually mild, such as a slight change when drinking through a straw.
A flip shows more lip; filler adds volume and shape. Some people combine them.
Not in volume. More of the upper lip shows, which can look fuller.
About 6 to 10 weeks, shorter than other areas because the lip muscle moves constantly.
A lip flip uses botulinum toxin, of which “Botox” is one brand, in a very small dose to the upper lip.
Prescribed and administered by Dr Vishal Patel, BDS, MSc Aesthetic & Restorative Dentistry, GDC 103127, the clinic’s sole aesthetic prescriber.
No. Chewing may feel slightly weaker for a few weeks.
Usually four to six months.
It can reduce clenching force and ease jaw ache. A night guard may still be advised to protect your teeth.
Often, gradually over 4 to 8 weeks, where a strong muscle is the cause of a square jaw.
Yes. It uses botulinum toxin, of which “Botox” is one brand, to relax the masseter muscle.
No. We are appointment-only, Monday to Friday, 8am to 7pm (Tuesday from 9am).
Only if the width comes from the muscle. Bone or fat need a different approach, which we assess first.
From £300 at Dental & Wellness London. The consultation is £65, redeemable in full.
There is a real case for it: dentists assess clenching, grinding, tooth wear and the jaw joint every day.
Look for a face-to-face assessment, a prescriber who examines your jaw and teeth, honest advice about alternatives, and a review afterwards.
Yes. People often search “masseter Botox”; “Botox” is one brand of the muscle-relaxing medicine used.
Not where follicles have stopped working. Polynucleotides may help thinning areas where fine hairs are still present.
Yes, after the cause of hair loss has been considered.
