Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

The Hyaluronic Acid filler is injected into the skin to soften the appearance of wrinkles, lines and scars or into the lip to give a natural volume replacement for a fuller appearance and slow down the signs of ageing.

The filler products are sterile colourless gels composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid is an important component of the skin and serves important functions in creating volume in the tissue.

Whilst there are a number of fillers available on the market, we use Juvaderm Ultra  and Restylane ranges which are market-leading established brands that have proven themselves to be safe over many years and of highest quality.  The results are immediate and there is no recovery time, but there can be swelling and bruising after a lip filler for a few days. The most common areas treated are the lower face (including lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines) and scars.  More advanced treatments are available such as non-surgical nose augmentation, cheek contouring, tear trough and jawline fillers.

The effect of treatment generally last between 12 and 15months, but in the lips can be shorter around 6-9 months. . The fillers we use are reversible.

We recommend using topical anaesthetic cream to keep the discomfort to the minimum. Local anaesthetic injection can be used too.  Follow up  if required is 2 -3 weeks after treatment and a leaflet is provided.
