Your facial aesthetics journey begins with a personal consultation. This can take place in person or online via our Facial Aesthetics Assessment Form, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your concerns and discuss your desired outcomes directly with our team.
During your consultation, you’ll experience a relaxed and informative discussion where the benefits and limitations of any potential treatment will be explained honestly. Our team takes time to tailor each treatment plan to suit your individual goals, needs, and budget.
If it becomes clear that a particular treatment will not benefit you, the team will not proceed – your safety and satisfaction come first.
Should treatment be appropriate, it may be carried out during the same visit. However, the consultation is entirely free of charge and without obligation, so that you can make your decision with complete confidence and no pressure.
You’ll be given a full quote upfront, with no hidden costs. A comprehensive medical history will also be taken to ensure that the treatment is safe and suitable for you.
You can expect your visit to be pleasant, unhurried, and fully supportive, whether you proceed with treatment or not. If you have any questions – even small ones – we’re always happy to help.
We use anti-wrinkle treatments to relax specific facial muscles by gently blocking nerve signals. This reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, delivering a smoother and more refreshed look. The treatment is quick and minimally uncomfortable.
Is It Safe?
Yes. Anti-wrinkle treatments have been used safely for both medical and cosmetic treatments for over 20 years. While mild side effects such as minor bruising may occasionally occur, more serious effects are rare. Around 1-3% of patients may experience a temporary ‘droopy eyelid’, which resolves over time or can be corrected.
To ensure your safety and optimal results, treatment must be carried out by a trained and qualified clinician in a properly equipped clinical setting.
Will My Face Look Frozen?
No. The “frozen” look only occurs when too many anti-wrinkle treatments are used. The team is committed to subtle, natural-looking results. During your consultation, they will explain how small, precise doses are used to soften wrinkles while allowing your natural facial expressions to shine through.
Why Do Lines Form - And How Does Treatment Help?
Repeated facial expressions – such as frowning, squinting, or pursing the lips – cause the skin to fold. Over time, this leads to the development of fine lines and deeper wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle treatments work by preventing the muscle movements that create these lines.
When used early enough, it can even prevent deeper lines from forming, making it an excellent tool for both correction and prevention.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
We currently offer treatment for the most commonly requested areas on the upper face, including:
Forehead lines.
Frown lines (number 11s between the eyebrows).
Crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes).
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
Following treatment, you may notice minor red marks at the treatment sites, but these usually disappear quickly. You can resume most daily activities right away, though we recommend avoiding intense exercise for the rest of the day.
Some patients experience a minor headache or light bruising, which can easily be covered with makeup if needed.
Results begin to appear within a few days and reach their full effect around 14 days post-treatment. A review appointment is scheduled at this time to ensure you’re happy with the results and make any minor adjustments if needed.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The effects of anti-wrinkle treatments typically last 3 to 6 months. As the muscle activity gradually returns, lines may reappear, and repeat treatment will be needed to maintain the results.
With regular use, the longevity of your results may improve, as the treated muscles are gradually retrained to relax.

Extremely fortunate to be a patient at this practice since I moved here in 2017. Used to have the wonderful Regina as a dentist but now she's gradually reducing her caseload, I have moved over to Harriet who's also brilliant. I've had a few personal worries recently, but it's always reassuring to visit this practice where staff are warm and treat you with utmost care - the whole 'journey' from arrival with reception to dental treatment itself is a positive one. I've also had follow up calls to check I'm ok which is really something. Thanks, Team.
A friendly local dental practice. The treatments we have had (the whole family) have always been professionally carried out. We have had good experience with all the dentists and hygienists.
Regina Bormann has been out family dentist for over 15 years now. A brilliant specialist, so lucky to have her. Always professional and friendly service from everyone at the Promenade. Thank you!
Monique is by far the best hygienist I have ever had in the 30+ years of having regular cleanings.An incredible deep clean with fantastic attention to detail. You can tell that time and care is taken followed up with just the right amount of admonishment to do more flossing without making you feel bad.I would 100% recommend.
I signed up to The Promenade Dental Practice in 2008, and stayed for 15 years until I moved away. Treatment has always been excellent, and the admin team friendly and incredibly efficient. They're a great dentists practice.
I had my first check-up with Aida Abas on 20/06/2024. Aida was amazing I told her that I was allergic to epinephrine and have a needle phobia, and she was so understanding and put my mind at ease for my first appointment today, 18/07/2024. I was a bit apprehensive goi g to my appointment but Aida make me feel relaxed and actually excited for the appointment as she was so friendly, upbeat, and and letting me know that there was nothing to worry about. Aida was sensational and so professional. In all my years Aida is the first dentist that I have had where I didn’t feel any pain or anxiety having the local anaesthetic - I actually didn’t even feel her do it - yeah she is that good. What I liked was that Aida went through all the steps of what she was going to do and also told me what she was doing while she was doing it, which both helped me relax and also masked the sound of that dreaded drill (great technique). Aida deserves more that 5 Stars, and also a bonus or pay rise. I highly recommend Aida. Thank you so much! 🙏🏾 Xx
Iv been with promenade for a few years now and it is honestly the best practice I have ever been with. Struggling with a phobia of the dentist I have always felt completely out at ease whenever I visit. Ida the dentist I see regularly is absolutely amazing and has always made me feel comfortable and heard. All my treatments from her have been done so well. Cannot recommend promenade enough!!
