What treatment is best for you?

A treatment for every goal.

As a medically qualified dental professional with an intimate understanding of facial anatomy, Dr Shree’s approach to aesthetics carries a level of clinical precision that sets her apart.

Knowing the structures beneath the skin, exactly where to place, how much to use, and when to step back is what separates truly beautiful results from anything that falls short.

Frequently asked questions

1. Getting started and trust

I have never had any aesthetic treatment before. Where do I start?

Start with a consultation. Dr Shree will take time to understand your concerns, assess your skin, and talk you through every option that could work for you, at your own pace. There is never any pressure to proceed, and never any obligation. Many of our patients have their treatment on the same day as their consultation, others prefer to go away and think. Both are completely fine.

What qualifications does Dr Shree hold?

Dr Shree Patel holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery with Honours and is registered with the General Dental Council (GDC number 271956). She has undertaken extensive postgraduate training in facial aesthetics and is committed to ongoing professional development to ensure her practice reflects the very highest clinical standards. She was also shortlisted for Young Dentist of the Year, a recognition of both her clinical skill and her patient-centred approach.

Why should I choose a dentist for facial aesthetics treatment?

Facial aesthetics is not a regulated industry, which means that in the UK, almost anyone can legally administer these types of treatments without formal medical training.

Choosing a qualified dental or medical professional offers a significantly higher standard of safety. Dentists are among the most highly trained professionals when it comes to facial anatomy, having studied the muscles, nerves, and structures of the face in exceptional depth.

Dr Shree combines these anatomical skills with rigorous aesthetic training and a conservative, patient-first philosophy. You can trust that your safety and your result are always her priority.

Are the products you use safe?

Yes. Dr Shree uses only premium, clinically proven products selected for their safety record and quality of results. This includes Restylane, Maili, and Revanesse for dermal fillers, Profhilo and Sunekos for skin boosters, Plinest polynucleotides, and ZO® Skin Health for medical-grade skincare. Patient safety is always her first priority, and every treatment is preceded by a thorough consultation and medical history review.

2. Sustainability

Am I suitable for facial aesthetics treatment?

Most healthy adults are suitable for facial aesthetics treatment. However, treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding and certain medical conditions or medications may affect your suitability. At your consultation, Dr Shree will take a thorough medical history to assess this carefully and ensure any treatment recommended is right for you. If she has any concerns, she will always tell you honestly.

Is there an age limit for facial aesthetics treatment?

All patients must be 18 or older. There is no upper age limit, and many of Dr Shree’s patients are in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, seeking treatments that restore a refreshed, natural appearance rather than dramatic change. The right treatment approach varies significantly with age, and Dr Shree will always tailor her recommendations to suit you specifically.

Can facial aesthetics treatment be reversed if I don't like the result?

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down the filler quickly and safely. This gives patients considerable peace of mind, particularly those trying filler for the first time. Anti-wrinkle treatments are not reversible, but the effects are temporary and will naturally fade over three to four months. Dr Shree will always discuss realistic expectations with you before any treatment begins.

3. Understanding the treatments

What is the difference between anti-wrinkle treatment and dermal filler?

Anti-wrinkle treatments work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines, such as forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. They are best suited to dynamic lines that appear with movement.

Dermal filler, by contrast, adds volume and structure to areas of the face. It is used to restore lost volume in the cheeks, enhance the lips, define the jawline and soften deeper folds and lines that are present even at rest.

The two treatments work differently and are often used together for a more complete result. Dr Shree will explain which is most appropriate for your concerns at consultation.

What are skin boosters and how are they different from filler?

Skin boosters are direct application treatments designed to improve the quality, hydration, and texture of the skin from within, rather than adding volume or structure. Treatments such as Profhilo, Sunekos, and Plinest polynucleotides work by stimulating the skin’s own collagen and elastin production, resulting in skin that looks and feels healthier, firmer, and more radiant over time. They are an excellent option for patients who want to improve overall skin quality rather than address specific lines or volume loss, and they work beautifully alongside other treatments as part of a wider plan.

Can I combine treatments?

Absolutely, and often the best results come from a considered combination. For example, anti-wrinkle treatments paired with a course of skin boosters can address both movement-related lines and overall skin quality simultaneously. Dr Shree will discuss combination options at your consultation and design a plan that suits your goals, your skin, and your budget, without ever overcomplicating or overselling.

4. What to expect?

How do I prepare for my appointment?

In the 24 to 48 hours before treatment, we recommend avoiding alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E and fish oil, as these can increase the risk of bruising. Please arrive with a clean face and as little makeup as possible. Avoid scheduling treatment immediately before a significant event, in case of mild swelling or bruising.

If you are unwell, have an active cold sore or have any changes to your medical history since your consultation, please let us know in advance. Full pre-treatment guidance will be provided at your consultation.

Is the treatment painful?

Most treatments are very well tolerated. Anti-wrinkle treatments and skin boosters use very fine needles, and topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to ensure your comfort. Dermal filler products such as Restylane and Maili also contain a built-in local anaesthetic, which makes the experience considerably more comfortable than most patients expect.

Is there any downtime?

Most treatments involve little to no downtime. Anti-wrinkle treatments and skin boosters may cause mild redness or swelling at the application sites for 24 to 48 hours, and some patients experience light bruising.

Dermal fillers can occasionally cause more noticeable swelling in the first few days, which settles within one to two weeks.

Microneedling typically involves 24 to 48 hours of redness, while a ZO® 3 Step Peel carries around seven days of downtime. Dr Shree will walk you through exactly what to expect before your treatment.

5. Results and aftercare

Will the results look natural?

Natural-looking results are Dr Shree’s defining commitment. Whether you are considering anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal filler or a course of skin boosters, her goal is always the same: that people notice how well you look, not that you have had a treatment.

She uses only premium products, including Restylane, Profhilo and Sunekos, chosen for their precision, safety profile and consistently refined results.

How soon will I see results?

This varies by treatment. Anti-wrinkle treatments take full effect within seven to fourteen days. Dermal filler results are visible immediately, though some initial swelling means the final result is best assessed after one to two weeks.

Skin booster treatments such as Profhilo and Sunekos work progressively, with results building over a course of sessions and continuing to develop in the weeks that follow. Dr Shree will set clear expectations at your consultation so you know exactly what to anticipate and when.

How long do results last?

This depends on the treatment. Anti-wrinkle treatment results typically last between three and four months, with regular treatment helping to maintain and prolong the effect over time.

Dermal fillers generally last between six and eighteen months, depending on the product and treatment area. Skin quality treatments such as Profhilo, Sunekos and polynucleotides work progressively, building collagen and improving skin texture over a course of sessions, with results that continue to develop after treatment has finished.

How often will I need to come back for maintenance?

This depends on the treatments you have. Anti-wrinkle treatments are typically repeated every three to four months, and regular treatment over time can help prolong the effect. Dermal fillers generally last six to eighteen months and are topped up as needed.

Skin booster courses usually involve two to three initial sessions, followed by maintenance every six to twelve months. Dr Shree will build a long-term plan with you so that maintaining your results feels easy and manageable, rather than open-ended.

Are facial aesthetics treatments available on finance?

Yes. We offer 0% interest-free finance across our facial aesthetics menu, allowing you to spread the cost of treatment in comfortable monthly payments. Please ask our team for full details at your consultation.

    Very happy with my Invisalign process with Kish. He kept me well informed throughout and always took time to answer all my many queries. The price was reasonable compared to others in the area and it has all been completed within the original time advised. I'm yet to have my composite bonding done but hope to have a transformed smile in the end. Would thoroughly recommend BDP if you're considering Invisalign.

    I have just completed the main part of my Invisalign journey followed by composite bonding and could not be happier. Having been told by my previous dentist that it wasn’t worth doing ( due to my age and small change I would achieve) I had a consultation with Dr Kish to start a programme of Invisalign to straighten out my front teeth which had moved over time and now had a very slight overlap. Once complete, I saw Dr Ventsi for bonding to the edges of 6 teeth, which, as a heavy tooth grinder, were chipped and uneven. Both Drs were knowledgeable and lovely to deal with. I could not be happier with the result! A little change has made a huge difference !
