When you choose me as your aesthetic practitioner, you’re not just booking a treatment - you’re choosing someone with medical expertise and a commitment to doing treatment as safely and comfortably as possible.

As a dentist I have an in depth understanding of facial anatomy following 5 years of training as an undergraduate,and have continued to develop my knowledge over the last 40years . 

FACIAL AESTHETICS UNDERTAKEN BY A DENTIST ….  REALLY?

After a study shows that almost one in four practitioners who administer facial aesthetics are dentists, we consider why the profession is so well positioned for these types of treatments.

According to a study led by University College London researchers, 24% of cosmetic practitioners who are administering injections such as Botox are dentists, while 8% are dental nurses.

Of the professions represented, 32% were doctors, 13% were nurses, 24% were dentists and 8% were dental nurses. Of the 1,163 doctors identified, 41% were on the specialist register and 19% were on the GP register.

The findings also suggested that 12% of treatments are carried out by non-healthcare ‘aestheticians’.

Dr David Zargaran, plastic surgeon and author of the study, said: ‘There are well-documented – yet to date, unaddressed – challenges in the UK cosmetic injectables market.

‘Without knowledge of the professional backgrounds of practitioners, we cannot adequately regulate the industry. Our research highlights that the majority of practitioners are not doctors. [They] include other healthcare professionals, as well as non-healthcare professionals such as beauticians.’

Dr Harry Singh spoke to Dentistry.co.uk about the importance of improving the understanding of dental professionals’ scope of practice and why dentists are so well placed to offer aesthetic injectable treatments.

I had Botox to my forehead and jaw refinement with filler and the experience was excellent. The consultation was thorough and reassuring, with everything clearly explained and a real focus on natural, subtle results. The outcome was exactly that, natural and refreshed but not overdone. It definitely boosted my confidence and I’d happily recommend it.

Gail was the first person I had gone to for Botox. I knew the moment I had gone to her she was the right person for me. She none stop explained what was going to happen before the procedure, during and after. She was consistent the whole way through and made me feel very reassured. I’m so happy with the end result and has really boosted my confidence. I can’t thank Gail enough and will definitely be back!!

I highly recommend Gail if you are considering getting any treatments done! The treatments that I have personally had are H A Fillers and Toxin. I have had this done in my frown line, my nose, my chin and my lips. I can honestly say that Gail does her absolute upmost to make these treatments as comfortable as possible and always provides you with the best service! It has been a couple of weeks now since my last treatments and I could not be happier. The final results are exactly what I had in mind and it has massively helped with my overall confidence. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I can’t recommend Gail highly enough! Not only is she incredibly talented and knowledgeable, but she’s also someone I completely trust. I’ve had both Botox and microneedling done with her, and the results have been amazing every single time.

Gail takes the time to really listen to what you want and makes sure everything looks natural and refreshed - never overdone. Her attention to detail and gentle technique make the whole experience comfortable and stress-free. She explains everything thoroughly, answers all my questions, and makes me feel totally at ease.

After my microneedling treatments, my skin has never looked better - smoother, brighter, and so much more even. And my Botox results are always subtle, balanced, and exactly what I was hoping for.

On top of all that, she’s warm, professional, and truly cares about her clients. If you’re thinking about Botox or microneedling, Gail is the absolute best person to go to!
