Overview
What Are Facial Aesthetics?
Facial aesthetics are non-surgical treatments that enhance and rejuvenate your appearance. These gentle, minimally invasive procedures such as anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, and skin rejuvenation treatments, help smooth lines, restore lost volume, and refresh the overall look of your skin.
As we age, the natural production of collagen and elastin in our skin slows down. This leads to reduced firmness, fine lines, and wrinkles. Facial aesthetic treatments work to restore volume, boost hydration, and improve skin texture, helping you look refreshed and confident at any age.

What to Expect
While facial aesthetic treatments can deliver beautiful, natural-looking results, it’s important to have realistic expectations. These treatments are not a substitute for permanent surgical procedures such as rhinoplasty or facelifts.
At Holford Partners Curaden, our qualified and experienced clinicians will provide a personalised treatment plan and take the time to discuss your goals and answer any questions.
Results are not permanent and typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the treatment and individual factors. Regular maintenance sessions can help you maintain your refreshed, youthful look.
Anti-Wrinkle
Botulinum toxin, commonly known as BOTOX®, is a purified neurotoxin derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is widely used in both medical and cosmetic treatments to safely and effectively relax targeted muscles, helping to smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
When injected in small, controlled doses, botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine – the chemical responsible for transmitting nerve impulses to muscles. This prevents the muscles from contracting, resulting in a smoother, more relaxed appearance.
Medical Uses
Botulinum toxin has a range of therapeutic applications and can help treat several medical conditions, including:
– Muscle spasms related to neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis
– Chronic migraines, often linked to jaw clenching, bruxism, or TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues
– Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), by reducing overactive sweat gland activity
Cosmetic Uses
Cosmetically, botulinum toxin is one of the most popular and effective non-surgical treatments available. It helps to:
– Reduce fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes, forehead, and mouth
– Relax facial muscles responsible for expression lines, creating a smoother, more youthful look
– Correct a gummy smile, by relaxing the upper lip so it doesn’t rise too high when smiling
Benefits of Botulinum Toxin
– Quick and non-surgical: Treatment takes only a few minutes and requires no downtime.
– Safe and precise: When administered by one of our experienced dentists, Botulinum toxin is a well-established and reliable treatment.
– Effective and long-lasting: Visible improvements can be seen within days, lasting up to 3–6 months, depending on the area and individual response.
Treatment Process
Botulinum toxin is injected using an ultra-fine needle into specific facial muscles. The procedure is typically comfortable and completed within minutes.
Results usually begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full effects visible after about two weeks. Over time, muscle activity gradually returns, and repeat treatments help maintain your refreshed appearance.
Common Treatment Areas
Botulinum toxin can be precisely applied to several facial areas to reduce wrinkles and improve symmetry, including:
- Forehead: Smooths horizontal lines caused by the frontalis muscle.
- Glabella (frown lines): Reduces vertical creases between the eyebrows.
- Eyes (crow’s feet): Softens lines formed by squinting or smiling.
- Mouth: Minimises fine lines and wrinkles around the lips.
- Jawline: Slims and softens the jaw by relaxing the masseter muscles, helping with clenching and bruxism.
Safe, Professional Treatment
At Holford Partners Curaden, all treatments are carried out by our experienced dentists with extensive experience in facial aesthetics.
Your clinician will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and develop a personalised treatment plan to achieve subtle, natural-looking results that enhance, not alter, your natural beauty.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance natural facial contours. They provide instant rejuvenation by filling areas of lost volume and improving facial balance and definition.
Most dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA) – a substance naturally found in the skin that helps retain moisture, softness, and elasticity. Some fillers may also be made from other materials, such as collagen, poly-L-lactic acid, or calcium hydroxylapatite, depending on the desired results and treatment area.
How Dermal Fillers Work?
When injected beneath the skin, dermal fillers physically lift and smooth the treated area. The hyaluronic acid in the filler also attracts and retains water, further enhancing hydration and plumpness. This combination helps to restore youthful volume, soften lines, and rejuvenate areas affected by ageing, sun damage, or natural facial structure.
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, typically taking around 15–30 minutes. Your practitioner may apply a topical anaesthetic (numbing cream) to ensure comfort throughout the treatment.
Benefits and Uses of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offer a wide range of benefits, helping to refresh and reshape the face with natural-looking results.
Key benefits and uses include:
– Reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth, nose, and eyes
– Adding volume and contour to the cheeks and lips
– Improving the appearance of acne scars or depressions in the skin
– Enhancing jawline and chin definition for improved facial balance
– Restoring overall fullness and youthful radiance to the face
Dermal filler treatments are non-surgical and involve little to no downtime. Results are visible immediately and typically last 3–12 months, depending on the type of filler and treatment area.
Common Treatment Areas
Dermal fillers can be precisely placed to restore balance and enhance natural beauty in various areas of the face:
- Lips: Add shape, volume, and definition while softening lines around the mouth.
- Cheeks: Restore youthful fullness and lift the mid-face.
- Nasolabial Folds: Smooth the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
- Marionette Lines: Soften creases extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin.
- Tear Troughs: Reduce hollowness and dark circles beneath the eyes.
- Chin: Enhance projection and facial symmetry.
- Jawline: Define and contour for a more sculpted profile.
- Nose: Refine shape and symmetry with a non-surgical rhinoplasty.
- Temples: Add volume to reduce hollows and restore a youthful contour.
Safe, Personalised Treatment
At Holford Partners Curaden, our experienced practitioners will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a bespoke treatment plan to ensure balanced, natural-looking results.
It is important to note that dermal filler results are not permanent. Most patients choose to have maintenance treatments every 6–12 months to sustain their refreshed appearance.
As with all injectable treatments, dermal fillers should only be administered by qualified and licensed professionals to ensure your safety and achieve the best possible results.
Skin Rejuvenation
Skin Rejuvenation
Over time, our skin naturally loses elasticity, hydration, and firmness. Environmental factors, sun exposure, and the ageing process can all contribute to a dull or tired complexion. At Holford Curaden, we offer advanced injectable skin rejuvenation treatments designed to restore vitality and promote healthy, youthful-looking skin from within.
Polynucleotides
They are an innovative regenerative treatment designed to stimulate your skin’s natural repair processes. Derived from highly purified DNA fragments, they work at a cellular level to rejuvenate and revitalise the skin.
Benefits of Polynucleotides:
– Boosts collagen and elastin production
– Improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity
– Deeply hydrates the skin for a radiant glow
– Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
– Helps repair and protect skin from oxidative stress
– Suitable for delicate areas such as under the eyes and neck
Polynucleotides help restore structure and function to ageing or damaged skin, encouraging long-term improvement rather than simply masking signs of ageing.
Sunekos
This is a unique injectable treatment combining hyaluronic acid with a patented blend of amino acids. This combination supports the regeneration of the extracellular matrix (ECM) – the skin’s natural support network – leading to visible improvement in skin quality and elasticity.
Benefits of Sunekos:
– Restores natural volume and elasticity
– Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
– Enhances hydration and skin radiance
– Improves skin firmness and texture
– Treats areas such as the face, neck, décolletage, and hands
– Delivers natural-looking, refreshed results
Sunekos is ideal for patients seeking subtle, natural rejuvenation without adding volume or changing facial contours.
Why Choose Skin Rejuvenation Treatments?
All treatments are performed by our experienced Dr Stella Kourkouta, who will tailor your plan to your individual skin needs and goals. Whether you are looking to brighten, hydrate, or repair, our regenerative skin treatments like Polynucleotides and Sunekos can help restore youthful radiance safely and effectively.
