The Face Spa London is located within the luxurious settings of the Covent Garden Dental Spa. Our in-house Aesthetic Doctor, Dr Yiannis uses natural methods of facial rejuvenation to achieve a soft, airbrushed and youthful look. The treatment restores lost volume associated with the natural ageing process, and so diminishes lines and wrinkles.
We aim to provide subtle results that will make everyone notice your fresher look, but only you will know your secret!
Facial Rejuvenation Treatments
Consultation and Assessment
All of our treatments are preceded by an in-depth consultation by Dr Yiannis. The consultation is your chance to express your desired aesthetic result. Dr Yiannis will assess your medical history, your facial aesthetic history and your current situation. This will allow him to provide you with a tailor made treatment plan best suited to provide you with the rejuvenated look you desire.
It is also your chance to get all the information you require to make an informed decision on how to proceed with your treatment.
The consultation is £70. This fee is deducted from the cost of your treatment if you proceed with the treatment.
Liquid Lip Refresh
Maintain a youthful appearance with our lip refresh treatment. The treatment will reshape your lips and provide a plump and naturally fuller appearance of your lips.
How do we do this?
We use Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E based injections, commonly known as fillers. The Hyaluronic Acid stimulates your body to naturally produce collagen. It also stimulates your body to produce its own collagen, promotes hydration and elasticity,thus providing an instant radiant look. The treatment takes about 20 minutes. The results are immediate and last anything from 6-12 months depending on you as an individual. The natural non-allergic product is usually absorbed by your body after a period of 6 months.
Non-Surgical Nose Lift
also known as Liquid Rhinoplasty
Correct small imperfections in your nose such as a dip, a bump or a small deviation. The treatment is non-surgical and you will see instant results.
How do we achieve this?
We use Hyaluronic Acid injections to smooth small irregularities. The Hyaluronic Acid is a non-allergic product, is safe and absorbed by your body. We will create a natural result to enhance your beauty. This can all be achieved by a quick and painless non-surgical procedure.
Cheek Lift
A small and subtle lift of the cheeks with Hyaluronic Acid can restore your appearance by relieving the sagging of the mid- face and treating the jowls.
How do we achieve this?
Hyaluronic Acid is injected into the cheeks. The cheeks will have more volume, redefining the cheeks and thus lifting and supporting the face. This will automatically provide a youthful and fresh look. The Hyaluronic Acid stimulates the body to produce its own collagen so you will have replacement of your lost collagen and replenish volume.
The treatment takes 20 minutes and as it is non-surgical, you will not need to allow for downtime. You will see immediate results which last 6-12 months.
Tear Trough liquid correction
Due to either skeletal shape in the cheek bones or the eye sockets themselves some people from quite a young age can have hollowing under the eyes or exaggerated ‘tear troughs’. Tear troughs can also develop with age due to a reduction of fat in the face, diminishing the supporting structures and resulting in hollowing of the eyes and cheeks.
A very thin liquid based Hyaluronic Acid is placed under the top layer of the skin very delicately to create or restore some of the support under the eyes. This will result in a rejuvenated and less tired appearance. Hyaluronic Acid tends to be placed in this location with a cannula to reduce the risk of bruising which can be quite common in this procedure
Jaw Contouring/
Jowel Treatment
As a result of the aging process there is a marked reduction in elasticity of the skin and a reduction in the supporting structures of the upper face. These changes can lead to formation of jowls in the lower face as the skin becomes heavier and more tired around the jaw giving the impression of loss of structure and definition.
How do we achieve this?
Hyaluronic Acid is placed along the jawline to redefine the jaw bone and create a natural lift across the lower face. Those who are lacking in natural structure can also improve and create more defined appearances with the correct selection and placement of hyaluronic based products.
Temple Filler
One of key signs of aging is loss of fat in the temples which creates a hollow and aged appearance. The hollowing of the temples can be easily reversed with Hyaluronic Acid placement to restore the volume lost due to the ageing process.
How do we achieve this?
Hyaluronic Acid is injected carefully into the temple area to restore the hollowing that develops over time. Usually 1ml of product is enough to complete treatment, most patients often only require one injection on each side of the face.
Nasolabial Lines
Sagging and loss of volume in the mid-face can lead to the deepening of the nasolabial folds – substantial lines that form from the corners of the nose down to the corner of the mouth. Some people with expressive faces naturally have more prominent lines in this area whilst in others they become deeper over time. Dr Yiannis provides subtle treatment that lessens the severity and softens these lines.
How do we achieve this?
Depending on the true cause of deepening of the nasolabial lines (as diagnosed by Dr Yiannis) the line can be improved either with Hyaluronic Acid placed into the line itself or more commonly by restoring lost volume in the mid face and lifting the cheeks with Hyaluronic Acid and thus reducing the appearance and severity of the nasiolabial line.
Chin filler
Hyaluronic Acid can be used to correct the profile of the chin via lengthening, widening or lifting the chin. Many natural skeletal formations result in chin shapes that do not quite meet the desired proportion of the face. Addition of Hyaluronic Acid can help manipulate and augment the chin into the desired position or shape.
How do we achieve this?
Firmer Hyaluronic Acids are placed directly into the chin onto the bone to increase the length, projection or width of the chin resulting in a chin profile that is deemed more aesthetically pleasing.
Anti Wrinkle Liquid Face Refresh
With this course of treatment Dr Yiannis will use anti wrinkle injections to soften lines we see with ageing.
The areas we treat are:
- Chemical Brow Lift
- Crow’s feet
- Forehead lines
- Frown Lines
- Bunny Lines
- Bruxism/masseter (enlarged muscles caused by excessive clenching or grinding of teeth
- Hyperhidrosis – excessive sweating
Dr Yiannis will inject a Botolinum Toxin based injection using very fine needles. The treatment is safe and effective. The treatments will take 20-30 minutes depending on how many areas you wish to treat. The treatments Dr Yiannis provides are non-surgical, minimally invasive, pain free and require very minimal recovery. The treatment lasts 3-6 months depending on your metabolism.

BDS
I graduated as a dentist from the University of Siena, Italy in 2002. In 2005 I moved to the UK, where almost simultaneously, I started my career as both a general dental practitioner and facial aesthetics physician. In 2008 I completed a 1-year Diploma in Advanced Aesthetic Dentistry with UCL. To further my education, in 2011 I did an Msc in Restorative and Advanced Dentistry with the University of Manchester.
My facial aesthetics journey started in 2007, and ever since, I have completed countless hands-on training courses on Facial Aesthetics from some of the best in the UK and abroad, covering treatments such as: anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, skin boosters, mesotherapy, micro-needling, and skin care with medical grade / botanical / cosmeceuticals brands.
I am often asked what made me want to become a dentist and facial aesthetics practitioner. I’m proud to say that the reason I found myself in both fields was because I want to make people feel good; I want to bring out their confidence and help them feel comfortable in their own skin.
As an aesthetic practitioner, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing someone finally embracing their individuality and enjoying life looking their best, effortlessly. If there’s one thing that can often be overlooked in aesthetics, looking good means feeling good and this is exactly the ethos and driving force behind my passion which led me to marry my dental background with my inner artistic skills, restoring the ageing face and skin.
With my continuous advanced education in both fields plus 16 years spent treating hundreds of patients at some of the best clinics in London, I am proud to say that I have established myself as a highly rated and respected dentist and facial aesthetic practitioner in London.
