Facial aesthetics at Regency House Dental Practice

If you’re considering facial aesthetics, a conversation is a good place to start. We offer anti-wrinkle treatment and dermal fillers at our Cheltenham practice, with time to discuss your questions and what you hope to achieve.

We’ll talk honestly about what may be suitable for you, the limitations and possible risks. You can take time to consider your options, including choosing not to have treatment.

Advice centred on you

Everyone’s features and preferences are different. Your consultation gives us the opportunity to understand your concerns, review your medical history and assess whether treatment is appropriate.

We’ll explain the proposed approach, alternatives, costs and aftercare before you decide. There is no obligation to go ahead.

Anti-wrinkle treatment

If you would like advice about facial lines and wrinkles, we can discuss anti-wrinkle treatment as part of an individual consultation. The most appropriate approach depends on your skin, facial features, medical history and the concerns you would like to address.

We’ll explain the options that may be suitable, what they involve and their limitations. Where a prescription is required, treatment depends on an assessment and a decision by an appropriate prescriber. It is not suitable for everyone.

Your clinician will discuss possible side effects, risks and aftercare with you before you give consent. Results and how long they last vary from person to person.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to add volume or alter the contour of selected areas of the face. They may also soften the appearance of some lines. They work differently from anti-wrinkle treatment, and the right option depends on your individual assessment.

At your consultation, we’ll discuss the area you are considering, the product proposed and what may be achievable. The effects are temporary, and their duration varies with the product, treatment area and individual response.

Fillers carry risks. These include swelling, bruising, tenderness, infection, lumps and unevenness. Rare complications can include a blocked blood vessel, which may damage skin or affect vision. We’ll explain the risks, warning signs and how to seek urgent help before treatment.
