Facial aesthetics in Rotherham, assessed by a registered dentist
- Talk through what is bothering you and what could reasonably change
- Take your medical history and examine you in person
- Cover the risks, the alternatives and the aftercare before anything is agreed
- Send you away to decide: nothing is given at a first appointment
Treatment is never given on the day, and no prescription medicine is prescribed without assessing you in person.
Not sure which appointment you need?
This is a guide to the right first appointment, not a diagnosis. Your dentist will talk through what is right for you once they have had a look.
Would rather just talk to someone? Call 01709 872292 or send an enquiry.
Start with the consultation
A conversation about what is bothering you, an examination, and the risks and alternatives covered properly. Nothing is administered on the day.
Why a dental practice
Dentists train in the anatomy of the head and face, work with injections every day, and are registered with and accountable to the General Dental Council. The premises are already set up for clinical procedures, with the record-keeping and infection control that come with being a regulated practice.
That does not make any treatment right for you. It means that if you decide to have one, it happens somewhere with the same standards as the rest of your dental care, and with someone you can come back to.
What we can talk about
Both of these start with the same appointment: a conversation about what is bothering you, what could reasonably change, and what could go wrong.
Questions people ask
What the two treatments are, why one page can say so much less than the other, and the age limit.
What are the two treatments this page is about?
One adds volume. Dermal fillers are a gel placed under the skin to fill a line, or to put fullness back somewhere that has lost it. They are not prescription-only medicines, so the filler page can tell you what they are made of, where they go and what the risks are.
The other works on the muscles that produce movement in the face, and it involves a prescription-only medicine. UK law does not allow a prescription-only medicine to be advertised to the public, so this site cannot name it, price it, or tell you what it would do for you. What it can offer is an assessment with a prescriber, and that is what the anti-wrinkle page is for.
The difference in how much those two pages say is a legal one. It is not a hint about which treatment is better.
How do I choose somewhere to have this done?
Four things, and most of them are about looking past the marketing rather than reading more of it.
- Read the reviews on Google rather than the ones chosen for a website. A practice picks which testimonials go on its own pages. It cannot edit or delete what somebody wrote on Google
- Check the site actually addresses the thing bothering you, rather than listing every treatment there is
- Ask people you know. A personal recommendation is not paid for and nobody selected it for a marketing page
- Ring and ask what the process is before you book. Is there a consultation first? Does treatment happen at that visit or a later one? The answers tell you whether you are being assessed or sold to
Is there an age limit?
Yes, and it is set by law rather than by us. In England it has been a criminal offence since 2021 to give an injectable anti-wrinkle treatment or a cosmetic filler to anyone under 18, or to arrange for someone else to, unless it is done for a medical reason by a doctor or under a doctor's direction.
Consent does not change that, including a parent's. If you are under 18 and asking about this for cosmetic reasons, the answer here is no, and it should be no everywhere.
