Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation in London

This involves injecting dermal filler, a natural constituent of collagen, either deep onto bone, more superficially into the fat compartments, or directly under the skin. These fillers come in different levels of thickness, allowing different products to be used for different indications, such as restoring volume, softening lines and enhancing facial contours. Results are almost immediate, although the recovery period varies depending on the location and type of filler injected, which Mr Sadideen will explain to you prior to treatment. Results can last six to eighteen months, depending on the type and location of filler used.

Skin boosters such as Profhilo contain the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid of the injectable treatments used, and are mainly used to rehydrate and boost the skin, leading to collagen stimulation. Profhilo is mainly used on the face and neck, though Mr Sadideen also regularly uses it in other anatomical areas, including the cleavage, arms and backs of the hands. The treatment can leave small, temporary bumps for up to 24 hours while the product diffuses and settles. The recommended course is two sessions per area, although this depends on clinical assessment, and treatment may need to be repeated again after six months.

This innovative treatment is extracted from salmon DNA, filtered and purified from salmon sperm. Polynucleotides are biocompatible, meaning they naturally fragment within our cells, and work by stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture and elasticity through a regenerative process. This is a newer bio-stimulation treatment that can target multiple skin and tissue levels, and comes in different strengths (soft, medium and strong) suited to different facial or body areas. Mr Sadideen has used polynucleotides in the face, buttock and arms for more complex cases. As with Profhilo, small bumps may be visible for up to 24 hours, though with the thicker formulations, and in patients with thinner skin, this may last up to 48 hours. Treatment may need to be repeated a couple of times, roughly a month apart, to achieve the desired results.

This specialised treatment is used to rejuvenate the under-eye area, and sometimes the upper eyelid too, addressing concerns such as dark circles, puffiness and fine lines. It contains vitamin C, a small amount of hyaluronic acid and botanical extracts. It is often combined with other treatments for patients who do not want added volume but are seeking a refreshed appearance and gradual tightening of the skin. Results are typically noticeable after one treatment, but are short-lasting, with optimal results achieved through a series of sessions.

Also referred to as a vampire facial, PRP is harvested from your own blood. A small sample is taken from your arm and processed in a specialist centrifuge, which separates out the red blood cells, leaving behind a straw-coloured plasma rich in platelets that can stimulate the skin. Mr Sadideen has used PRP to give patients a natural facial glow and improvement in skin quality, and has also used it in more difficult cases of persistent joint pain and scarring to support healing and recovery, an application with some supporting evidence. In facial rejuvenation, the treated area may appear red for a few hours after treatment, and longer-lasting effects are typically seen when PRP is combined with other treatments.
