Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid is one of the most prominent components of dermal fillers. So, once injected, they work by mimicking the body’s existing supply of hyaluronic acid, successfully filling and plumping lines & wrinkles, and re-contouring the face.

We also use collagen-stimulating fillers too – these are primarily used to achieve a ‘facelift’ effect. When compared to hyaluronic acid-based fillers, these differ as they stimulate collagen production to create volume, plumping areas of the face that may have sagged due to ageing or dramatic weight loss.

Before treatment, we’ll discuss the exact areas you’d like us to treat. We’ll also establish exactly which dermal fillers are most suitable for your specific requirements.

During treatment, a local anaesthetic or numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to minimise discomfort whilst injections are taking place. The chosen dermal filler will then be injected using ultra-fine needles for added precision and safety.

Results will be visible almost immediately, and can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. However, it’s important to note that dermal fillers are not permanent. They’re biodegradable, meaning they’ll eventually be metabolised by your body causing the treatment area to revert back to its original state. So, future treatments will be necessary to maintain results on a consistent basis.
