Full face anti-wrinkle treatment: why I often recommend it

Hayley Ford in her King's Cross clinic

Most people come to me for their forehead. It’s the line everyone notices first, and treating it on its own is a lovely place to start. But once you’re used to how that looks and feels, there’s a question I hear a lot: is there anything else I’d suggest? Very often, my answer is full face treatment.

What full face treatment covers

Rather than choosing areas one by one, I look at your whole face: the upper face, the lower face and the neck. Then I place treatment wherever it’s needed, in the amounts that suit you. One person might need a little around the eyes and the mouth; another might need more along the jawline. You don’t have to know the names of the muscles or which areas to ask for. That’s my job.

Why it can look more natural

Your face works as a whole. When one area is relaxed and the others aren’t, the muscles that are still working can do a little more of the lifting, and that can show. Treating the face together keeps everything in balance, so the result looks rested rather than done. Full face treatment also tends to last a little longer: around 3 to 6 months, compared with around 3 months for a single area. How long it lasts for you depends on your anatomy and your lifestyle.

If you already have your forehead done

This is where it makes the most sense. If you’d like to try it, we’ll plan it at your next assessment. A lot of my clients try it once to see what the lower face can do for them, and many of them stay with it. Some alternate, with full face one time and the upper face the next, and that works well too.

How often to come back

Most people come back around every three months. It’s never sooner than 12 weeks after your treatment, and at every visit I’ll tell you honestly whether you need anything at all.

What it costs

Full face anti-wrinkle treatment is £497. Small extras on their own, such as a lip flip or a dimpled chin, are £50 each when you’re having three areas. You can see every price on my anti-wrinkle injections page.

It always starts with an assessment

Every anti-wrinkle treatment starts with an assessment, to make sure it’s right for you. If full face isn’t what you need, I’ll say so, and tell you what might be. No pressure, ever.

My clinic is at 260 Pentonville Road in King’s Cross, about three minutes’ walk from King’s Cross St Pancras and a short trip along Pentonville Road from Angel and Islington.
