 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an appointment with Kylie for skin tag removal, and this was my second visit to the clinic but my first time being treated by her.

At first, I was quite nervous and didn’t feel very confident about the procedure. However, as soon as Kylie started explaining the process and what to expect, she immediately put me at ease. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and clearly knows exactly what she’s doing.

I chose to have the procedure without numbing cream, and to my surprise, I hardly felt any discomfort at all. As soon as the treatment was finished, I could already see excellent results.

I would definitely recommend Kylie to anyone considering skin tag removal , ACP Treatment ..

Thank you all !

See before and immediate after 🥰 great job

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a client of this clinic for a couple of years now and always find Kate extremely knowledgeable, personable and top tier customer service. I can see why she is in charge of running the clinic. I have had many microneedling and chemical peel treatments with Ellen and whilst I kept going back because she was so patient, skilled and knowledgeable, I also always enjoyed the little chats we'd have and the giggles. She always made the whole experience enjoyable. I am now a patient with the dermatology doctor and miss the ladies on the other side of the clinic! I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone interested in treatments

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a consultation with Flor to discuss some loose skin on my eyelids, as well as skin tightening for my chin and jawline. She is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain my options while giving honest, realistic advice about what could actually be achieved.

What I appreciated most was that I never felt like I was being sold a treatment. Instead, Flor genuinely listened to my concerns and recommended what she felt would be the most suitable approach for me. It was so refreshing to speak with someone who prioritises giving honest guidance over making a sale.

I left the consultation feeling informed, reassured, and confident about my next steps.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very skeptical of having laser as I did. It know what to expect. Leigh was very reassuring and approachable in making the whole experience comfortable. She even gave me a feel for the laser before my appointment in September by removing one cherry angioma. Now that’s great customer expectations!  I have an appointment booked for September!

Bruxism treatment London

Teeth grinding, otherwise known as Bruxism, is a result of people clenching their jaw and grinding their teeth, either subconsciously during the day, or at night whilst asleep. Symptoms include facial pain and headaches, earache and stiffness in the jaw. With time, the force of the grinding can affect the teeth enamel.
Teeth grinding is said to often have a direct link to stress and anxiety and with sleep disorders, but the exact cause of it remains unclear. Other factors that can likely contribute to teeth grinding include lifestyle factors such as caffeinated drinks, alcohol and smoking and certain medications.

With symptoms such as stiffness in the jaw joints, it can lead to Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) which is a condition that affects jaw movement and can feel something like a ‘lock jaw’. It can also wear down the teeth with time, and potentially damage any fillings in the mouth.

Mouth guards are usually recommended and created by dentists who fit the guard to the patient’s teeth, to restrict the movement and prevent the teeth grinding from happening. This will also protect the teeth. However, some patients still experience a stiff jaw as a result.

The most effective procedure is anti-wrinkle injectables that is injected into the masseter muscles, and will quickly and efficiently relax the muscle and prevent the movement from happening. Patients have advised that this provides huge relief as it can deeply affect one’s quality of life.

Targets the underlying cause by working to minimise muscle movement. The process yields temporary but noticeable results for the medical concern and aesthetically too, with the treated area appearing noticeably smoother and more defined.

Rapid results that are visible within 24 to 48 hours. The treatment lasts for 3-4 months however with continual use some patients may find the results last for up to 6 months or even longer, dependent on a variety of factors.

No downtime with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience a little redness, but this will go away within 15-20 minutes. It is perfectly normal for some patients to experience some bruising or a minor headache but this can be treated with some pain relief medication.

Treatment is quick and simple to carry out.

A complimentary consultation will be carried out prior to having the treatment done to check your suitability for the treatment, and allow for our aesthetic nurse and doctors to better understand your medical concern and provide a bespoke treatment plan for you.

— Questions

Teeth grinding treatment FAQ

The questions we are asked most often about the treatment, the course and what recovery actually looks like.

What can I expect in pre consultation and during the treatment?

During the initial in depth consultation your aesthetic practitioner will discuss your concerns and determine what it is you’d like to achieve through the use of antiwrinkle injectables. The practitioner will also review your medical history and answer any questions you may have, ensuring that you feel safe and comfortable to have the treatment.

What aftercare will be provided?

The following aftercare is recommended to improve the treatment results and to minimise side-effects from the treatment:

Avoid extreme facial expressions, alcohol consumption and applying make-up for up to 12 hours
Avoid extreme sun exposure, UV light, freezing temperatures and saunas for 2 weeks after treatment
Avoid additional treatments in the treated area for the next 7 days.
Avoid massaging the area or any facials on the skin

You will be able to go back to your normal activities straight after treatment, but your Aesthetic Practitioner may ask you to take the day off from exercise or other strenuous activity. Alcohol consumption should be avoided before and on the day of the treatment. This is all to allow the injection site to close and avoid infection. Ice may be applied to the injected area to reduce swelling and discomfort.

It is important to add that while the risks associated with anti wrinkle injectables are minimal, you need to fully disclose your medical history prior to treatment, as certain allergies, skin and neurological conditions, or medications can jeopardise your safety or results.

What are the possible side effects?

Anti wrinkle injections, if administered correctly, are very safe procedures, there is however a very small risk of complications related to them. Common side effects of injectables include swelling, slight discomfort, bruising, lumpiness, or unevenness.

Who are anti-wrinkle injections not suitable for?

Patients on medications that reduce or inhibit hepatic metabolism (cimetidine, beta-blockers), steroids, aspirin or anticoagulant
Pregnant or breast feeding patients
Patients suffering from auto-immune disease or disease affecting the immune system, acute rheumatic fever or recurrent sore throat, history of herpes simplex (cold sores) or other skin infections, untreated epilepsy, hypertrophic scarring, porphyria or cardiac conduction disorders
Patients who have had laser resurfacing or skin peel in the last 6 weeks
