Replace lost volume in your face for a more youthful appearance or create the contours you desire.
As we age, it’s natural for our skin to produce less collagen and hyaluronic acid, leading to a loss of volume in different areas of the face, causing a loose, ‘sagging’ effect. This acid is the main ingredient in the most common fillers, making the treatment simply about restoring the soft tissue’s natural composition.
Dermal fillers are injected to replace the lost volume in the face to non-surgically enhance your natural features, giving you a more youthful appearance. They can also be used to subtly contour the cheekbones, correct small or recessed chins, straighten the jawline or even enhance the nose profile.
Are dermal fillers right for me?
If you are concerned about lost volume in your face or you want to create some contours to enhance the shape of your face – then dermal filler injections may be perfect for you. The added benefit is that it is a minimally invasive and reversible procedure.
What areas can be treated?
Common areas for treatment:
How long do dermal fillers last?
Dermal fillers are licensed to last up to 18 months depending on the type of filler used. Longevity also depends upon the area treated. The less mobile the area, the longer the treatment will last.
Do dermal fillers hurt?
Dermal filler procedures are in general associated with minimal discomfort. Local anaesthetic cream is applied to the entry points used to treat the face to maximise comfort. The fillers we use also have local anaesthetic in them.
Can you wear makeup after dermal fillers?
You will be able to apply makeup after your treatment although we recommend waiting at least 4 hours.
Following an in-depth consultation to understand your objectives and ensure that all your questions/concerns are addressed, anaesthetic cream is applied to the area that will be treated. Mostly, we use a technique that utilises a cannula (a blunt ended thin ‘needle’) rather than a standard needle to administer the dermal filler into the desired areas.
This significantly reduces the amount of swelling and bruising caused so that downtime in many cases can be minimal, allowing for a lunchtime treatment with a return back to work straight after the appointment. Results after a dermal filler treatment are seen instantly making it a very popular and powerful treatment.
