Dermal Fillers

• Crows feet
• Glabella (lines between the eyes)
• Forehead
• Nose to mouth lines
• Lip enhancement
• Smokers lines (around the lips)

Dermal filler results can be seen immediately and continue to look more and more natural over a 1-2 week period.

The duration of the effects from dermal fillers depends on various factors. Each patient’s age, lifestyle, underlying skin quality and amount of filler required will dramatically affect the longevity of treatment. It is important to remember that as hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in the skin, it is also naturally reabsorbed by the body over time. Generally, results last between 6 and 12 months.

Treatment to the lips and tissues around the mouth may require local anaesthetic to ease the process. Quite often a topical anaesthetic cream is offered for other areas treated which will help though may not completely relieve all of the potential discomfort.

Restylane® is the most commonly used dermal filler on the market. This is because Restylane® is free of risk from transmitted disease on account of it being non-animal in origin. Our clinicians are highly qualified and experienced in the safe delivery of dermal fillers

Common side effects as from any injection might occur – redness, swelling, pain, bruising. These usually resolve within a few days and within a week for lips. Reactions to the treatment are rare and tend to be self-limiting. More severe reactions are very rare.

Gentle massage of the treated skin is beneficial. However, you should not touch the area for at least six hours following treatment. The correct massage techniques will be demonstrated during your consultation, and we give you bespoke tips and advice depending on your individual case.
