We use Lynton IPL — UK-manufactured, MHRA-registered, clinically equivalent to Sciton BBL for the indications we treat. We don't have a Sciton platform on site. For patients with strong BBL brand preference, we'd suggest a Sciton-equipped clinic. For patients whose underlying need is the clinical indication, Lynton IPL delivers equivalent outcomes.
Yes. We offer 0% APR finance over 12 months via Tabeo, subject to status. Profhilo is £350 per session, or £625 for two sessions. Your plan and fee are confirmed in writing before you decide.
Yes — modified programming for pre-conception, pregnancy (with medical clearance), and postpartum recovery. Specifically designed for safety and appropriate progression at each stage.
Yes. 0% APR finance over 12 months via Tabeo, subject to status. A lip flip is £169, or included within a three-area anti-wrinkle price, and is usually paid at the appointment.
Yes — gift vouchers available for any service amount. Useful for gift-giving; the recipient books their appointment when convenient.
Yes — this is one of our specialities. Dr Vishal Patel handles both Invisalign and aesthetic medicine prescribing at DWL, so combined plans are mapped by one clinician at one clinic. We're one of a small number of UK clinics offering this combined model.
For pregnant patients, many DWL services remain appropriate — general dentistry, nutritional therapy (often beneficial during pregnancy), somatic coaching, modified Ayurvedic consultations. Laser hair removal, prescription aesthetic medicine, and most elective cosmetic dentistry are deferred until after pregnancy.
No — if a brief review or top-up is needed in the first 2 weeks after lip flip, this is included in the original £195. If the patient elects a substantive top-up after week 2, that's a new session at £195.
Not the first few. After 4–6 sessions some patients see gradual extension to 9–10 weeks. This isn't universal and isn't predictable.
Depends on remaining tooth structure and the specific case. We work conservative-first — recommend onlay where it delivers predictable result rather than defaulting to crown. Discussed individually at consultation.
For course pricing yes — book and pay for the course of 6. Singles are pay-per-session. Course paid in instalments via Tabeo finance for plans £350+.
Often yes. The masseter is usually overactive because of an underlying bite or stress pattern. A Davies-technique hard stabilisation splint (£495) addresses the cause; aesthetic medicine addresses the symptom. Treating only the symptom often means the patient is on indefinite maintenance because the cause keeps reactivating the muscle. The combined consultation assesses whether the splint is the foundation, the aesthetic treatment is the foundation, or both together is right.
A single session produces visible change at 3–4 months. Three sessions across 12–18 months produces cumulative change that's more complete. The treatment is best evaluated over a year. Some patients are satisfied after one session; some prefer to complete the cumulative cycle.
CEREC enables same-day ceramic restorations for many cases (inlay, onlay, single crown). Some cases benefit from lab-made approach (more complex cases, specific aesthetic considerations). Discussed at consultation.
Not permanently, but it can usually be controlled well with a long-term plan.
At conservative doses, no — the upper lip remains the same size; just slightly differently positioned. Larger doses elsewhere could affect lip shape; we under-dose specifically to preserve aesthetics. If you ever feel the result has gone too far, the effect resolves within 10 weeks.
Possibly, in cases where the TMJ pain has a strong muscular component. The splint usually does more for TMJ pain than aesthetic medicine alone. We assess at the combined consultation. If your TMJ pain is primarily muscular (morning tightness, headache, no clicking or locking), splint plus possibly masseter aesthetic can help. If your TMJ pain involves joint structural pathology, the conversation extends to imaging and possibly specialist referral.
Yes — pairs well with microneedling (texture+pigmentation), Profhilo (broader skin quality), Onda (body areas), chemical peels (sequenced renewal). Combined plans typical for patients seeking comprehensive skin work.
Light mineral-based makeup is fine from 48 hours after treatment. Avoid touching or pressing the injection sites firmly when applying. Heavy makeup, oil-based products, and intensive coverage are best avoided for the first 48 hours to let any minor redness resolve naturally.
After healing (day 7-14 for fractional, longer for ablative). Mineral makeup gentlest.
Possible but the cost difference is more than the £750 starting-tier difference because mid-treatment upgrade requires additional plan adjustment. Better to choose the right tier at start. We discuss honestly at consultation.
Paracetamol is fine and may help if you're particularly sensitive. Avoid ibuprofen and aspirin for 24 hours before and after IPL — the anti-inflammatory action may slightly reduce treatment efficacy. Avoid caffeine 2 hours before (caffeine increases pain perception). Topical numbing is more effective than oral painkillers for IPL specifically.
Yes — common pathway for over-filled patients. Pause filler, let existing product metabolise, start Profhilo to restore quality. Face shape returns toward natural while skin improves.
Yes — many patients who've had filler eventually try lip flip either as a step away from filler (letting the filler metabolise naturally and replacing with lip flip) or as a complement to existing filler. We discuss at consultation.
Yes — sometimes combined protocols work. Laser first for main bulk pigment, then saline for residual stubborn pigment. Sequential not simultaneous. We can coordinate referral to saline providers if combined approach is right.
