Facial Aesthetics
What is facial aesthetics?
We know it can be a challenge when selecting the right clinic and or clinician for your facial aesthetic treatments. You will inevitably have many questions prior to and or during your treatment, we hope to answer them all and maybe a few more in this FAQ section.
What type of clinic are we?
Sevenoaks Dental & Implant Centre is multi-disciplinary centre offering a variety of clinical services. We are primarily a dental practice, with a dental hygiene suite and a facial aesthetics suite. Our practitioners are either dentists or hygienists who have undertaken extensive training, enabling them to deliver the very best results.All our practitioners are registered with the General Dental Council and have many years of experience in working expertly with a wide variety of treatments.
How do I choose a clinic and a clinician for my treatment?
We believe creating a friendly, informal, and happy environment is one of the key elements in making our clients feel at ease here at Sevenoaks Dental & Implant Centre. However, the most important part of your decision in selecting the right clinic for you may be your relationship with our team and specifically our facial aesthetics practitioners.
Is the treatment painful?
Just prior to all procedures we apply a very effective topical anaesthetic cream. This is left on for 15-20 minutes and will numb the area due to be treated (applies to all procedures).
Will I be sore, swollen or bruised afterwards?
You might find a little bruising and/or swelling for a few days after your treatment. This is a normal response from your body as a result of having treatment with an injection. However, this response can vary from client to client and treatment to treatment; one day you may respond differently than previously to the same treatment and most treatments heal very quickly. You will be given both pre and post treatment advice on how to prepare before having your treatment and how to any side effects such as swelling and bruising, thus ensuring your treatment settles for the best long-lasting results. You will soon learn that scheduling appointments around social events, flights and work commitments is key. Our clinician will advise how best to work this into your busy schedule. Clients usually return to work and most normal activities immediately after treatment. Make up can be applied 4 hours after treatment.
Will the results be subtle?
Our clinicians are experienced in offering a natural fresher look designed to enhance your features but not alter them to a point where you no longer resemble yourself. We have all seen examples of celebrities with a frozen, expressionless look or with unnatural over filled lips; this can be very concerning for a new client considering their first treatment. This can all be avoided when you are treated by experienced medical professionals who fully understand facial anatomy and how your perfect look needs to be created with gentle, balanced treatments. Our clinicians have received training from many industry leaders and worked alongside a wide range of facial aesthetic companies. This has enabled our clinicians to gain an extensive wealth of knowledge surrounding the product ranges available. They have many years of experience in learning how to manage a patient’s expectations, using advanced techniques, they convey the possibilities of what can and cannot be achieved with each product.
How long will my treatment appointment take?
Typically, a dermal filler treatment appointment will last around sixty minutes. This will allow ample time for you to ask any questions you may still have prior to starting your treatment. Our clinician will gently numb the area/s to be treated and once numb they will start your treatment. An anti-wrinkle treatment appointment is typically 30-60 minutes (dependent upon how many areas you wish to treat). Again, allowing plenty of time for any questions, for numbing etc. In both appointments, there is also time for pre and post treatment photographs for our records
Do you offer a free aesthetic treatment consultation?
We do not believe clients should not feel pressured into treatments. Therefore, by offering a free aesthetic consultation our clients do not feel obliged to take a treatment to reclaim the money they have already invested when making an initial visit. Within the consultation we offer a comprehensive skin assessment, honest feedback and sound advice about general skincare and hygiene.
Should clients wish to proceed to treatment, we are transparent about our charges.
