What Dermal Fillers do

Dermal fillers are used to provide volume, lift and to redefine. They are a fantastic treatment for restoring lost volume to the face, the back of hands and hydrating the décolletage. Dermal fillers are superb at redefining the natural lip contours that become less pronounced as we age.  Lip lines can be restored and redefined with a subtle use of dermal filler. Well done lips look natural, refreshed and plumped. 

What are dermal fillers

Long gone are the days of collagen, as dermal filler technology has come on leaps and bounds. Today's dermal fillers are configured with synthetically derived hyaluronic acid (HA) cleverly matching our own skins concentration. HA draws surrounding water allowing skin to plump and hydrate. This creates a more youthful younger appearance. 
 
As HA is a natural substance within our bodies, a patch test is not required as a chance of a reaction is very low. The dermal fillers today allow our faces to move freely and express the way we always have done. Therefore in the hands of a good injector they are a fantastic tool for maintaining a very natural, fresh look. On average, depending what area is treated results usually last between 6-9 months.

What to expect at consultation

After a detailed consultation we apply a topical anesthetic cream to the area we are going to inject.  After allowing this to fully take effect we clean the area thoroughly. The treatment involves a series of small injections and usually takes between 5-15 minutes.  To ensure maximum comfort we only use dermal fillers that contain local anesthetic.
