Dermal Fillers

Dermal Fillers

Repeating facial muscle movements cause deepening creases with time. The ageing process causes fat loss and bone thinning and is intensified by sun exposure damaging effects. Often, we simply hate particular areas of our faces, such as sad deep creases and narrow, thin lips.

Dermal fillers are brilliant at replenishing lost volume and increasing hydration of skin. They are made of a biodegradable, non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (a natural substance found in all living organisms).

These non-permanent fillers are very safe. Nowadays you can even have it reversed if you decide you dislike the result.

Fillers today have a local anaesthetic included which help make the procedure more comfortable. In some areas you can also choose to have a dental injection to eliminate any pain.

Dermal fillers last from 6 – 18 months depending on the filler used and area placed. With time and repeated treatments your own collagen formation can make the effects longer lasting.

Dermal fillers are used to treat:

• Facial folds and wrinkles
• Nose to mouth lines
• Marionette lines (mouth-to- chin)
• Cheeks
• Tear Troughs
• Chin
• Thin lips
• Smoker's lines
• Nose shape
• Acne scars / pitted scarring

When we meet at your initial consultation, we will decide together what will be needed to achieve your desired result. We can then plan a single visit for the procedure, followed by a review after 2 weeks.

After 9 - 18 months, the filler will start to be lost and further treatments will be required to maintain your result.
