Dermal Fillers
Ageing leads to our skin losing its volume causing permanent lines, oil glands produce less oil causing the skin to become drier which results in the texture and glow fading, hyaluronic acid which is principal for water retention and skin hydration also decreases. Whether you want to create fuller lips, smooth out wrinkles or add volume or definition to your cheeks, we have a range of dermal fillers which can help you with any of these. Dermal fillers will add to your confidence and have you feeling and looking more youthful for longer. Dermal fillers will return the volume to the face that has been lost due to the hyaluronic acid decreasing and treat facial lines. It can also add volume to your lips, creating a more defined, fuller lip.
HOW DO DERMAL FILLERS WORK?
The dermal filler is a substance that can be injected into the skin to make it firmer, plump it and reduce the appearance of any unwanted lines and wrinkles. The substance enhances the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and loss of collagen.
Dermal fillers are frequently used in the correction of scarring, wrinkles and other depressions in the skin. They are a form of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, and can be injected into the skin to improve aesthetics. They are generally made of several types of synthetic, man-made and natural collagens. For anyone suffering from problems such as wrinkles, folds or depressions in the skin, dermal fillers may be the best solution to improve appearance.
IS IT PAINFUL?
When we inject dermal fillers, we also use a local anesthetic which should reduce any discomfort.
ARE DERMAL FILLERS SAFE?
Yes, we use a variety of FDA approved dermal filler products, such as, Juvéderm, Derma lax and Restylane which are all high quality grade fillers.
ARE FILLERS LONG LASTING?
Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid which breaks down and is absorbed into the skin after 6-12 months depending on how much is used. The durability of the product will depend on the medical history of the patient, age, lifestyle and the area in which the product is being injected. Where there is more muscle movement such as lips the product can dissipate quicker than say the eye area (tear trough).
CAN DERMAL FILLERS BE REMOVED?
The fillers can be dissolved if you are not happy with the end result although it is quite rare for patients to be unhappy with the end result after the discussion during the consultation.
HOW SOON WILL RESULTS BE NOTICED?
Results are noticeable straight away. The area treated will look plumped, smooth and hydrated. Your skin will look fresh and dewy but extremely natural.
