What
are dermal fillers?
As we age our skin loses elasticity and the supporting
Collagen from beneath the surface. With less Collagen
our skin becomes thinner and lines, wrinkles, and folds
develop.
Dermal fillers are non surgical cosmetic treatments
used to bring a more youthful appearance by restoring
volume or fullness to the face and lips by plumping
and firming. Fillers have an immediate corrective effect
on wrinkles and ageing, in a natural way. Dermal fillers
gives us the chance to re-create our former facial contours
and to subtly enhance check bones and lips.
What
are Dermal fillers made of?
The products we use are non permanent and are made of
Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid is found naturally
throughout our bodies - it acts as a lubricant and moisturiser.
Hyaluronic Acid is clinically produced, so it is not
taken from an animal or human source.
Well known brands of Hyaluronic Acid include:
Restylane
- restylane.co.uk
Belotero - merzpharma.co.uk
Juvederm
- juvederm.com
These are clear gels or liquids supplied in a single
use sterile syringe.
What happens during treatment?
A local anaesthetic cream is applied to the area to
be treated, to make the treatment as comfortable as
possible, and the filler injected directly into the
wrinkle just below the skin. It lifts and fills the
line and wrinkle. From the first injection the wrinkle
is visible reduced.
After
the treatment
Some mild bruising and redness may occur. This may take
a few days to vanish. Arnica cream and tablets together
with cold compression are effective in aiding a speedy
recovery. These symptoms are minor however and will
not affect your returning to normal daily life. To maintain
the desired effect most clients require two treatments
a year. Lip
enhancement and volumising
The
'Trout pout' is a thing of the past and we specialise
in creating a natural look enhancing your own lip shape.
We use Dermal fillers specifically designed for the
lip area. Typically treatments need repeating twice
a year. Due to this being a sensitive area treatment
will have a slightly longer recovery time and . This
lengthier recover should be a consideration when deciding
on when to have the treatment. |
