Facial Aesthetics in the City of London: What to Expect
Considering anti-wrinkle injections or dermal fillers near Bank? Here’s what a facial aesthetics consultation at 77 Cornhill involves, how treatment fits around a City working week, and what you can expect from your results.
What Facial Aesthetics Treatment Involves
Facial aesthetics covers a small group of non-surgical treatments designed to soften the visible signs of tension and volume loss in the face, without changing your expression or how you look at rest. At 77 Cornhill, the two treatments you’re most likely to be offered are anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, often combined with the cosmetic dentistry you may already be considering - a smile makeover or composite bonding, for example - as part of a single, coordinated plan for your face.
Every course of treatment starts with a consultation, where your goals, medical history and facial anatomy are assessed before anything is recommended.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections: How They Work
Anti-wrinkle injections work by gently relaxing the small muscles responsible for expression lines - most commonly across the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes (crow’s feet). The aim is a natural, rested appearance rather than a frozen one: your expression still moves, but the deeper creases these movements can cause over time are softened.
Results typically begin to show within a week and settle fully over the following one to two weeks, with effects generally lasting around three to four months before a top-up is needed. Treatment is quick - most sessions take well under thirty minutes - which is one reason it suits a lunch break or an appointment either side of a working day in the City.
Dermal Fillers: Restoring Volume and Contour
Where anti-wrinkle injections address movement-related lines, dermal fillers are used to restore volume and contour - commonly in the cheeks, lips or jawline, or to soften deeper static lines that remain even when your face is at rest. Filler is placed carefully and incrementally, so the result adds definition without looking overdone.
As with any injectable treatment, some temporary swelling or bruising at the injection site is possible, and you’ll be talked through aftercare before you leave.
Your Consultation at 77 Cornhill
Every facial aesthetics plan begins with an honest conversation. You’ll be asked what’s bothering you, what result you’re hoping for, and whether facial aesthetics is even the right starting point - sometimes a change in your smile, through teeth whitening or Invisalign, makes a bigger visual difference than volume or line correction alone. Dr Zunde will only recommend treatment where it’s appropriate, and will always explain what’s realistic before you commit to anything.
Fitting Treatment Around a City Working Week
Facial aesthetics appointments at 77 Cornhill, a few minutes from Bank, Liverpool Street and Moorgate, are designed to fit around a working day rather than take over it. Most appointments are short, downtime is minimal, and many patients come in during a lunch break and return to their desk the same afternoon.
Aftercare and What to Expect
You’ll be given clear aftercare guidance specific to the treatment you’ve had, and a follow-up review is always available if you have any questions once the results have settled. Facial aesthetics is not a one-off event but an ongoing relationship - most patients return periodically to maintain their results, and each visit is an opportunity to reassess what your face needs rather than repeating the same plan by default.
Facial Aesthetics FAQs
Do anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick, mild pinch. A fine needle is used, and numbing options are available if you’re concerned about comfort.
Will I look “frozen” or unnatural?
No - treatment is planned around soft, natural movement. The goal is for people to notice you look well rested, not that you’ve had anything done.
How long do results last?
Anti-wrinkle injections generally last around three to four months; dermal fillers can last longer depending on the area treated and how your body processes them. This will be discussed at your consultation.
Can facial aesthetics be combined with dental treatment?
Yes. Many patients combine facial aesthetics with cosmetic dentistry such as a smile makeover for a coordinated result, planned around your face as a whole.
Is facial aesthetics safe?
When carried out by a suitably trained, experienced practitioner following a thorough consultation, facial aesthetics has a well-established safety profile. You’ll always be told about possible side effects before treatment begins.
