Dermal fillers are used to soften and contour any lines,
folds and wrinkles that appear on the face. The most commonly used dermal
filler is a synthesised hyaluronic acid. This gel-like solution is injected
into the skin to add volume and creates a more youthful appearance. Areas
commonly injected are nose to mouth lines (naso-labial lines/folds), lines
around the mouth
(peri-oral/smokers lines), lines between the brows (glabellar) and the
lips.
There are a number of different dermal fillers on the
market. Your aesthetic practitioner will be able to advise the most suitable
product for your skin and your needs. If you have used a particular dermal
filler previously and been happy with the outcome
it may be wise to stay with that product. All products used in our clinics
have outstanding safety results and have consistently demonstrated predictability
and positive aesthetic outcome. We have highly skilled, expert, professional
injectors to ensure
the very best results.
Dermal fillers can last between 6 -18 months depending on area of treatment. They are all fully biodegradable and will break down gradually over time. There are very few reported side effects with these products, bruising being the most common as with any injections. This is usually minimal and can be covered effectively with make up. You must mention to your practitioner if you are on any blood thinning medication. Your practitioner will, however, take a full medical history.
