What will the treatment involve?

What type of Dermal Filler is used?
Dermal fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid, a natural hydrating substance occurring in our bodies of which we have abundance in our youth. As we age, the levels decrease depleting the skin’s support system, resulting is loss of volume which allows lines and wrinkles to occur.

Are dermal filler injections safe?
Dermal fillers have been in Aesthetic use for more than two decades and thousands of men and women have received Dermal Filler injections in the UK every year.
Dermal Filler injections are administered in such a way that it only affects the area of your skin injected and it does not reach any other part of the body.
Providing the Dermal Filler injections are administered by a medical practitioner the risks are extremely minimal.
Dermal Filler injections are administered by our medical expert doctor and nurse prescriber to ensure that quality and safety is paramount.

Does it hurt?
The procedure is generally pain free as a local anesthetic is applied to the treated area prior to the administration of the injections. Care is taken to make it as comfortable as possible.
As with all injections there may be some mild temporary discomfort and redness in the direct injection site, which subsides quickly.

How Many Treatments Do I Need?
One treatment is usually required to achieve the desired look. The selected dermal filler will determine the longevity of the results from 6 to 18 months.
Depending on the severity of the lines and wrinkles, Anti-wrinkle Injection may be recommended along with the Dermal Filler Injections as the filler can create volume in the crevices, but the botulinum toxin in the Anti-wrinkle Injection can stop the repetitive action which can cause the fine lines and wrinkles.

How quickly will I see the results?
You will see results immediately after a single treatment.
Some dermal filler formulas provide further results over a few weeks as the product injected into the area forms a scaffold to support and stimulates the production of the body's own collagen increasing further volume from within the skin.

How long will the results last?
The selected dermal filler will determine the longevity of the results from 6 to 18 months.
Your practitioner will discuss the various options best to suit our individual needs.
