What counts as non-invasive facial rejuvenation?
Non-invasive or minimally invasive facial rejuvenation means treatments that refresh the face without surgery or general anaesthetic. They fall into four families: muscle-relaxing injections, dermal fillers, regenerative skin treatments such as skin boosters and polynucleotides, and energy or resurfacing devices such as HIFU, microneedling and laser.
Each family is priced differently because each works differently. Anti-wrinkle injections are a prescription-only medicine priced by treated area. Fillers are priced by the syringe, usually 1 ml. Skin boosters, polynucleotides and PRP are sold as courses. Devices such as HIFU, fractional CO2 laser and microneedling are priced per session, reflecting equipment, consumables and clinician time.
- Muscle-relaxing injections soften frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet. See our anti-wrinkle injections guide.
- Dermal fillers restore volume and structure. See our dermal fillers guide.
- Regenerative treatments improve hydration, texture and crepiness, including skin boosters, polynucleotides and PRP.
- Energy and resurfacing devices tighten or resurface, including HIFU and full face CO2 laser.
Demand for these treatments is global and growing. The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) recorded more than 20.5 million non-surgical procedures by plastic surgeons worldwide in 2024, led by botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers, with non-surgical skin tightening up 38.9% on the previous year. Most people end up combining two or three treatments, which is why a total annual figure is more useful than any single price.
How much does each treatment cost in London? 2026 price table
Indicative 2026 London prices are £180 to £280 for one anti-wrinkle area, £280 to £650 per filler syringe, £250 to £400 per skin booster session, £200 to £350 per polynucleotide session, £500 to £1,200 for HIFU and £600 to £1,500 for full-face CO2 laser.
| Treatment | Typical London price | Priced by | Usual repeat interval |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anti-wrinkle injections (1 area) | £180 to £280 | Per area | About 3 to 4 months |
| Anti-wrinkle injections (2 areas) | £250 to £380 | Per area, bundled | About 3 to 4 months |
| Anti-wrinkle injections (3 areas) | £320 to £490 | Per area, bundled | About 3 to 4 months |
| Dermal filler (1 ml syringe) | £280 to £650 | Per syringe | Often 9 to 18 months |
| Filler dissolving (hyaluronidase) | £150 to £350 | Per area | Only when needed |
| Skin boosters | £250 to £400 per session | Course of 2 to 3 | Maintenance every 4 to 6 months |
| Polynucleotides | £200 to £350 per session | Course of 3 | Maintenance every 6 to 12 months |
| PRP or exosome facial | £250 to £500 per session | Course of 3 | Maintenance every 6 to 12 months |
| Medical microneedling | £150 to £300 per session | Course of 3 to 6 | Maintenance as advised |
| RF microneedling | £350 to £700 per session | Course of 3 | Often annual maintenance |
| HIFU (full face and neck) | £500 to £1,200 | Per session | Every 12 to 18 months |
| Fractional CO2 laser (full face) | £600 to £1,500 | Per session, 1 to 2 | Long-lasting with sun protection |
| Medical peel | £90 to £250 per session | Course of 3 to 6 | Seasonal |
Indicative ranges for medically led London clinics in 2026, not a Levirgo price list. Entry prices usually reflect one small area or a single session; the upper end reflects more product, more areas or a senior clinician. HIFU interval reflects Levirgo treatment information. Always confirm in writing whether VAT and review appointments are included.
Two things explain most of the spread within each range. First, how much product or energy your face actually needs: a light frown differs from a strong one, and one syringe differs from three. Second, who treats you: experience in facial anatomy is the main thing you are paying for with injectables, and it is also where safety comes from. A large study of 1.7 million filler syringes found injectors with more than five years’ experience had 70.7% lower odds of causing a vascular occlusion.
Cost per month: which treatments offer the best value?
Divide the price by how long the result lasts. On indicative London prices, structural filler works out at about £16 to £72 a month, HIFU £28 to £100, one anti-wrinkle area £45 to £93 and three areas £80 to £163. Year-one skin booster plans cost about £83 to £133 a month.
A higher upfront price is not the same as poor value. The table below uses the price ranges above and typical durations to estimate what each result costs for every month you enjoy it. Low figures combine the lowest price with the longest typical duration; high figures do the opposite.
| Treatment | Price used | Duration assumed | Cost per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dermal filler, 1 ml (structural) | £280 to £650 | 9 to 18 months | £16 to £72 |
| Fractional CO2 laser (one session) | £600 to £1,500 | 24 months (conservative) | £25 to £63 |
| HIFU (face and neck) | £500 to £1,200 | 12 to 18 months | £28 to £100 |
| Medical peels, year one | 4 sessions at £90 to £250 | 12 months | £30 to £83 |
| Anti-wrinkle injections, 1 area | £180 to £280 | 3 to 4 months | £45 to £93 |
| Microneedling, year one | 4 sessions at £150 to £300 | 12 months | £50 to £100 |
| Polynucleotides, year one | 4 sessions at £200 to £350 | 12 months | £67 to £117 |
| Anti-wrinkle injections, 3 areas | £320 to £490 | 3 to 4 months | £80 to £163 |
| Skin boosters, year one | 4 sessions at £250 to £400 | 12 months | £83 to £133 |
Illustrative arithmetic, not a quote. Year-one regenerative plans assume a course of three plus one maintenance session. Laser duration is a conservative assumption; results depend heavily on daily sun protection. Durations vary between individuals.
Midpoints of the cost-per-month ranges in the table above, based on indicative 2026 London prices. Value also depends on whether a treatment actually addresses your concern: the cheapest option per month is poor value if it treats the wrong problem.
Why do prices vary so much between London clinics?
Prices vary mainly with practitioner experience, how much product or energy is used, the product or device, whether a course is prepaid, and what is included, such as reviews and out-of-hours aftercare. Postcode matters far less than most people assume, and it is not a guide to quality.
| Factor | Why it affects price | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Practitioner experience | Senior clinicians cost more; experience is linked to fewer complications | How long have you been injecting, and how often? |
| Amount used | One area or syringe versus several | How much do you expect to use, and why? |
| Product or device | Established, licensed products and maintained devices cost more | Which product or device is it, and where was it sourced? |
| Course versus single session | Prepaid courses are often discounted per session | Is a course clinically needed for my concern? |
| What is included | Reviews, top-ups and aftercare have real costs | Is the review included? Do top-ups cost extra? |
| VAT | Purely cosmetic services are standard-rated | Is VAT included in the price? |
NHS advice recommends asking how much a procedure will cost and whether further treatment will cost extra before you commit.
The false economy of very cheap treatment
The Department of Health and Social Care’s August 2025 announcement on cosmetic regulation urged anyone considering a procedure to check their provider’s qualifications and insurance and to avoid treatments that appear suspiciously cheap. In a 2025 outbreak of botulism linked to cosmetic injections in England, around 60% of cases had been injected in residential settings and a seized unlicensed product was far stronger than its label stated. A low price that cuts corners on product, setting or training is not a saving.
What does it cost to treat a specific concern?
Estimated first-year costs in London are about £540 to £1,140 for expression lines, £690 to £1,450 for dull or crepey skin, £280 to £1,300 for volume loss with one or two syringes, £450 to £1,800 for texture and £500 to £2,250 for mild laxity.
Most people arrive with a concern rather than a treatment in mind. These estimates apply the indicative prices above to a typical, evidence-based first-year approach for each concern. Your own plan may be simpler or more involved.
| Main concern | Typical first-year approach | Estimated first-year cost |
|---|---|---|
| Frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet | Anti-wrinkle injections to 1 or 2 areas, three times | £540 to £1,140 |
| Dull, dehydrated or crepey skin | Course of 3 skin boosters or polynucleotides, plus one peel | £690 to £1,450 |
| Flatter cheeks, hollow temples | One or two syringes of hyaluronic acid filler | £280 to £1,300 |
| Texture, enlarged pores, scarring | Course of 3 to 6 microneedling sessions | £450 to £1,800 |
| Mild laxity along the jaw and neck | One HIFU session, optionally with a polynucleotide course | £500 to £2,250 |
| Etched lines and sun damage | One fractional CO2 laser session, with skincare | £720 to £1,800 |
Estimates calculated from the indicative 2026 London price table. Laser estimate includes £120 to £300 of daily skincare. Later years are often cheaper because courses are complete and fillers and HIFU are not repeated annually.

How much should I budget per year? Three example plans
A simple expression-line maintenance plan costs about £870 to £1,440 a year in London including skincare. A skin-quality plan runs about £1,300 to £2,400, and a combined refresh of injectables, filler and HIFU about £2,140 to £4,270 in year one, usually less in year two.
| Plan | What it includes | Estimated year one | Year two tends to be |
|---|---|---|---|
| A: Expression-line maintenance | Anti-wrinkle injections to 2 areas three times; daily SPF and retinoid | £870 to £1,440 | About the same |
| B: Skin quality | Skin booster course of 3 plus one maintenance; 2 medical peels; skincare | £1,300 to £2,400 | Lower: maintenance sessions only |
| C: Combined refresh | Anti-wrinkle injections to 3 areas three times; 2 ml cheek filler; one HIFU session; skincare | £2,140 to £4,270 | Lower: filler and HIFU often not repeated annually |
Calculated from the indicative price table, with medical skincare estimated at £120 to £300 a year. Illustrative only; your written plan will reflect your face, goals and the products used.
The point is predictability. NHS guidance on preparing for any cosmetic procedure advises understanding all the costs involved, including aftercare and any future procedures you might need to maintain the look. A written, staged plan lets you decide where to spend now and where to wait.

Book a consultation in Knightsbridge and leave with a written, itemised plan, including reviews and likely maintenance, so there are no surprises.
Single sessions, courses or memberships: which is better value?
Pay-per-session suits trying a treatment or occasional injectables. Prepaid courses usually lower the per-session price and suit regenerative treatments that only work as a course. Memberships can suit a stable, long-term plan, but lose value if they nudge you into treatment you do not need.
| Model | How it works | Best for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay per session | You pay each time you are treated | First treatments, anti-wrinkle injections, one-off filler | Slightly higher cost per session |
| Prepaid course | Several sessions bought upfront, usually at a lower per-session price | Skin boosters, polynucleotides, microneedling, peels | Only worthwhile if the course is clinically right for you; check refund terms |
| Membership | A monthly fee covering set treatments or discounts | People already following a stable maintenance plan | Rolling fees, unused credit, pressure to treat more often |
Read the cancellation and refund terms of any prepaid course or membership before you sign.
Agree the plan first, then the payment model
Buy a course or membership only after you and your practitioner have agreed what you need. A discount on treatment you did not need is not a saving. The same applies to finance: the plan should never be larger simply because spreading the cost is available.
What should a consultation include before you pay anything?
A good consultation covers your medical history and goals, a proper face-to-face assessment, the realistic options including doing nothing, risks and downtime, and a written, itemised price with expected maintenance. NHS advice is not to pay for a procedure until you have had a consultation confirming it is right for you.
- History and goals
Your concerns, health, medicines, previous treatments and what you hope to change. Unsafe or unrealistic requests should be identified here.
- Face-to-face assessment
Skin quality, movement, volume and laxity assessed in good light. For anti-wrinkle injections, a prescriber must examine you in person before prescribing.
- Options and trade-offs
What each option can and cannot achieve, how long it lasts, downtime, risks, and the cost per month of each approach.
- Written plan and price
A staged plan with itemised costs, including VAT, reviews and likely maintenance, so you can see the annual figure.
- Time to decide
NHS advice says you should be offered time to think after a consultation. You should never be pressured to book on the day.
How can you spend less on facial rejuvenation without compromising safety?
Spend on the concern that bothers you most, match the treatment to the cause, use the longest maintenance interval that holds your result, protect results with daily sunscreen, and buy courses only once agreed. Never save money on the practitioner, the product or the setting.
- Treat one priority well, then pause. One well-chosen treatment usually beats three half-done ones.
- Choose skin-quality treatments over filler when the issue is crepiness rather than lost volume.
- Stretch maintenance intervals. Filler can persist for years, so avoid automatic annual top-ups.
- Protect your investment. In a randomised trial, adults using sunscreen daily had 24% less skin ageing over 4.5 years than those using it at their own discretion.
- Prepay courses only when clinically indicated, and read the terms.
- Book an experienced, registered clinician from the start. Correction is one of the most expensive and avoidable costs in aesthetics.
Regulation is also changing. A House of Commons Library briefing notes that there are currently no specific legal controls on who can offer non-surgical cosmetic procedures in England, and the government has announced a local authority licensing scheme covering botulinum toxin and fillers. Until it is in force, checking registration with the GMC, NMC, GDC or GPhC, and voluntary registers such as the JCCP and Save Face, is your best protection.

Frequently asked questions
How much does non-invasive facial rejuvenation cost in London?
Single treatments typically range from about £90 for a medical peel to £1,500 for full-face fractional CO2 laser. Anti-wrinkle injections are around £180 to £280 per area, filler £280 to £650 per syringe, skin boosters £250 to £400 per session and HIFU £500 to £1,200. First-year plans range from under £1,000 for simple maintenance to over £4,000 for a combined refresh.
What is the cheapest effective facial rejuvenation treatment?
Daily sunscreen is the cheapest proven step: in a randomised trial, daily users had 24% less skin ageing over 4.5 years. In clinic, a single anti-wrinkle area (£180 to £280) is the lowest-cost option for expression lines, and a course of medical peels (£90 to £250 per session) is an affordable route for texture and fine lines. The best value is the treatment that matches your concern.
Is a non-surgical facelift cheaper than surgery?
Usually, in the short term. A combined non-surgical plan of injectables, filler and HIFU might cost about £2,140 to £4,270 in the first year in London. However, non-surgical results need maintenance, so costs recur over time, and they cannot achieve the same degree of lifting as surgery for significant laxity. A consultation should explain both routes honestly.
How much do anti-wrinkle injections cost per year?
If you treat one area three times a year at £180 to £280 per session, expect about £540 to £840 a year. Three areas three times a year cost roughly £960 to £1,470. Some people space treatments further apart, which lowers the annual cost. Ask whether a two-week review and any small top-up are included in the price.
Is dermal filler good value compared with other treatments?
For genuine volume loss it can be. A 1 ml syringe at £280 to £650 lasting 9 to 18 months works out at roughly £16 to £72 a month, and MRI studies show hyaluronic acid can persist for years. It is poor value if your concern is crepey skin or movement lines, where other treatments work better.
Do aesthetic clinics charge VAT?
HMRC guidance says cosmetic services are generally exempt from VAT only where they are part of a healthcare treatment programme. Services undertaken purely for cosmetic reasons are standard-rated, and the standard rate is 20%. Whether VAT applies depends on the individual case and the business, so always check whether a quoted price includes it.
Why are some clinics so much cheaper?
Lower prices can reflect lower overheads, but they can also mean less experienced injectors, unlicensed or unknown products, non-clinical settings or no aftercare. The government has urged people to avoid treatments that appear suspiciously cheap. Correcting a poor result, such as dissolving filler at £150 to £350 per area, can quickly remove any saving.
Are courses and memberships worth it?
They can be, if they match a plan you would follow anyway. Prepaid courses usually lower the per-session price and suit treatments such as skin boosters, polynucleotides and microneedling. Memberships suit stable, long-term plans. They are poor value if they encourage treatment you do not need, so agree the plan first and read the refund terms.
How much should I budget for facial rejuvenation in my first year?
It depends on your concerns. An expression-line maintenance plan costs about £870 to £1,440 a year including skincare. A skin-quality plan is about £1,300 to £2,400. A combined refresh with anti-wrinkle injections, filler and HIFU is about £2,140 to £4,270. Year two is often lower because courses are complete.
Is the consultation free?
At Levirgo the consultation ends with a written, itemised plan, with no obligation to proceed. Elsewhere, policies vary. NHS advice is not to pay for a procedure until you have had a consultation to make sure it is right for you, and you should be given time to decide afterwards.
Do prices depend on where in London the clinic is?
Location plays a part through overheads, but it is not a reliable guide to quality or safety. Practitioner experience, the amount of product or energy used, the product itself and what aftercare is included explain far more of the difference between quotes. Compare what is included, not just the headline price.
Can I pay for facial rejuvenation in instalments?
Some London clinics offer finance or staged payment for larger plans. Whether that is sensible depends on the total and your circumstances. A treatment plan should never become larger just because the cost can be spread, and you should always understand the full amount payable and any cancellation terms before signing.
