Dermal Fillers

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

​

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance within the body which is found in the deep layers of the skin known as the dermis, and one of its functions is to keep skin smooth and healthy by helping it retain water.

 

As we age our body's production of hyaluronic acid gradually declines, resulting in visible signs of ageing. Natural lines and wrinkles deepen; lips lose their fullness; lines appearing around the mouth and nose area, and cheeks lose volume giving them a sunken and hollow appearance.

​

Dermal Fillers are a manmade, non-animal, substance that mimics the body's natural depleted hyaluronic acid. Once injected the fillers provide support and structure to the skin, giving a plumped and youthful appearance. The semi-permanent fillers provide safe, long-lasting and natural looking results.

​

​

How Is a Dermal Filler Procedure Performed?
​

The practitioner injects the filler through a series of small injections just under the surface of the skin and may massage the area. The treatment time can vary between client (no longer than 45 minutes).

​

You may be offered an anaesthetic cream prior to injection taking place, however the product used (Belotero) contains a local anaesthetic to reduce discomfort.

​

​

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

​

The effects of Dermal Fillers gradually fade, but will last on average between 4-6 months, depending on the treatment area.

​

When you start to notice the effects of your fillers wearing off you can come back for a top-up treatment. Shuold you choose not to continue with dermal fillers the gel will biodegrade in the skin and simply disappear.

​

What Are the Side Effects of Dermal Fillers?
​

Make-up can be applied immediately after a dermal filler treatment and you can go straight back to your daily routine. It is common to have some redness and swelling following the treatment, although this usually resolves after a few hours and the results can be seen instantly.

​

​
Who Should Not Receive Fillers?

​

Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an auto-immune disorder or a neurological disease should not use Fillers. 

​

​

Who Will Perform your Procedure?
​

Your procedure will be performed by a fully qualified, insured, UK registered Nurse.
