Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers
“To soften deep lines, restore volume and redefine”
Dermal fillers contain Hyaluronic acid, a molecule naturally produced in our bodies that can absorb one thousand times its own body weight in water, lending to its hydrating and plumping effects. A soft hyaluronic acid dermal filler can be injected into any area on the face to help with a number of concerns, including:
– Deep lines around the mouth
– Rebalancing symmetry
– Restoring volume loss
– Reshaping and redefining the face structure
Dermal Fillers are a bespoke treatment for each client.
A variety of techniques and high-quality fillers are available and tailored to the client’s needs.
Usually around 30 minutes including numbing time. It is important that care is taken to avoid complications and ensure symmetry.
The choice and quantity of filler is bespoke for each client following an in-depth discussion of the clients treatment aims. Only high quality brands are used including; Juvaderm, Restylane, Belotero and Teoxane.
Clients 18 years and over are eligible to enquire about this treatment. Suitability will be determined with a medical history questionnaire at your consultation.
The choice and quantity of filler to be administered is bespoke for each client, depending on their requirements. However, treatment starts from as little as £110.
Although duration of action will differ for each patient dependent on lifestyle and patient factors, as well as the area treated. Your maintenance plan will be discussed with your injector at the time of appointment.
Prior to treatment, an anaesthetic “numbing” cream is applied to the area for 10-15 minutes. We also use micro-needles for our injectable treatments, meaning there is little pain and discomfort.
Results with lip fillers are instant, however there may be some swelling around the area which will settle after a few days.
– For anti-wrinkle injections, continue to work the muscles treated by contracting the face for 12 hours post treatment
- Any swelling, bruising or redness following treatment should settle within 3-5 days post treatment.
– Consuming salty foods after any fillers could potentially worsen swelling as it causes your body to absorb more water. Avoid for a few days
– If anything feels uncertain, please contact your injector
Before any aesthetic treatment you should:
– Avoid any anti-inflammatories / fish oils / Vitamin E products for 7 days prior to treatment
