Dermal Fillers

As we grow older we may begin to lose the natural firmness and plumpness of our skin.  This is a natural part of ageing and is part of the reason we develop wrinkles and lines.  Dermal fillers give immediate, natural and long-lasting results by gently restoring this lost volume with ‘like-for-like’ hyaluronic gel, the substance found naturally in our skin.  In the hands of an experienced practitioner they are a safe and natural way to soften deep lines, and replace volume into the facial contours creating a more youthful appearance.

Areas on the face such as the nose to mouth lines or the marionette lines (the downward lines from the corner of the mouth) can be treated individually with amazing results.

Dermal Fillers are a Perfect Choice for both women & men seeking…

  • Immediate visible results
  • Skin revitalisation & firmness through natural collagen stimulation
  • Reshaping & contouring of cheeks
  • Natural & fresh looks
  • Long-lasting effects and avoiding multiple sessions to maintain the result
  • Cost effective treatment

Which areas can Dermal Fillers Treat?

Eye Hollows | Tear Trough

Some practitioners have advanced skills and are well-trained to inject under the eyes using a tiny needle and/or cannula. This area is treated to brighten the tired looking under eye area.  This treatment can give beautiful natural results when done by an experienced trained practitioner.

Cheeks | Mid Face

Cheeks can be subtly enhanced to create a more defined elegant cheekbone. Soft volume in the lower cheeks and nose to mouth lines can be treated, creating a softer more ‘lifted’ and youthful appearance.

Lips

Lips can be subtly enhanced, to give more definition and volume ‘Smokers lines’ above and below the lips can be enhanced. A down turned mouth can be subtly lifted for amazing results.  Some clients opt for larger lips which is also possible after a proper examination of the lips has been undertaken (sometimes increasing size of lips significantly might best be done as a two-stage process to allow the tissues to safely accommodate the new filler)

Mandible Lines

As we age our mouths tend to drop at the corners creating a line from the mouth corner, in a downward direction leaving us looking sad. This area when treated with an expert hand can give striking results and can also be combined with treatment of the Jawline, to create a tighter more youthful looking jawline.

8 Point Lift

The ‘8 point lift’ is a well-tested technique developed by some of the industry’s leading injectors.  It can be used to give an overall facial lift, hydration of the skin and create an overall softening of features, without having to ‘go under the knife’!  It is often referred to as the ‘liquid face lift’, and uses specially placed injections which are cleverly placed to use your own skins ability to lift areas near by.  Injected as a series these injections create an overall subtle but noticeable result, restoring that lost volume as we age.

The use of special dermal fillers under the eyes can aid hydration and add elasticity and firmness to the skin, having a lightening effect on under eye ‘tired circles’ and bags.

Consultation

All patients receive a thorough face-to-face consultation to help decide which treatments will be right for them and to give advice on a course of treatment and all the options available.

How are dermal fillers administered?

Dermal fillers are injected either with a fine needle or a cannula, or a combination of both. Cannulas do not cut through the skin’s tissue, but glide gently through instead.

How quickly can results be seen?

As with all dermal filler treatments, the results can be seen immediately.

Treatments with micro cannula, offer a number of advantages:

  • Fewer tissue injuries
  • Less bruising
  • Hardly any ‘downtime’
  • A precise treatment restoring volume to the whole face

The face is viewed as a whole and it is no longer just folds or individual parts of the face that are filled, but the volume that is lost with age is also reconstructed.

How long does treatment take?

A treatment takes approximately 30 minutes allowing you to go straight back to your normal daily life. Only 1 session is needed to obtain immediate results and long-lasting correction.

How long will results last?

The natural, smooth and immediate results last from 1 to 4 years depending on which option your physician recommends to you.

+ FAQs

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are made from a pure Hyaluronic Acid (HA) gel. They help to hydrate and add volume when injected into the skin, ‘lifting’ the mid-fact and having a sculpting effect on cheekbones.  The  word ‘acid’ can sound scary as we hear about acids being bad.  However, there a literally thousands of acids in the human body and it is just a biological term used to describe certain naturally occurring structures.  Hyaluronic Acid is one of those biological structures and is a large part of what your skin and tissues are made of!

Are there any side effects?

There can be some bruising and swelling following treatment, but this can be greatly reduced by the use of a cool packs, good injecting techniques, and sometimes practitioners use arnica gel or cream, which a lot of surgeons recommend even though there may not be any ‘official’ studies which show it is effective quite yet.

Safety Assurance

Hyaluronic Acid gels have been shown to be safe if injected by properly trained professionals and it is very rare for people to have allergic reactions.  However, please do tell your injector if you are prone to allergic reactions so they can ensure that emergency treatment is available if you begin to feel unwell.
