What are dermal fillers?
Our hyaluronic acid fillers provide patients with a non-surgical solution for skin volume deterioration.
Whilst the loss of skin volume is a normal part of the ageing process, it is possible to reintroduce plumpness and suppleness to the skin and slow this process down (which is where dermal fillers come in). Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a moisture-retaining substance that lives within the skin organically. When hyaluronic acid is administered to areas of the skin, it becomes firmer and plumper.
What are the benefits of dermal fillers?
- Non-surgical approach without general anaesthetic.
- Shorter recovery time.
Treatment journey
Step 1: Consultation
The consultation stage is a chance to learn about the treatments we offer for skin ageing and the ways in which they work. We will ask you a series of questions about your medical history to make sure you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.
Step 2: Tailored treatment plan
Following consultation, a treatment plan will be made to target suitable areas for treatment.
Step 3: Administering the fillers
In most cases, topical anaesthetic will be utilised prior to administering the dermal filler. As most fillers are hyaluronic acid based, this works to draw in moisture, creating a firming and plumping effect. Post-treatment advice and aftercare instruction will always be provided.
FAQs
1. What are dermal fillers for?
2. What are lip fillers?
Dermal fillers can be used on the lips to define, recontour or add volume. This can be carried out with a cannula (blunt-ended), a traditional needle or a combination of both.
3. Why choose a medical professional for facial aesthetics?
Medical professionals, especially dentists, have a complex understanding of the anatomy and vital structures of the face. They are prescribers of licensed and FDA-approved products and well-versed in administering these treatments on a daily basis such as anaesthetic.
