Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers and Facial Rejuvenation / Liquid Lifts

Injectable dermal fillers are one of the most popular facial rejuvenation techniques available. As we age, the underlying tissues that keep our skin looking youthful and firm begin to break down due to the effects of gravity, sun exposure, diet, genetic factors, and years of facial muscle movement. Over time, these contribute to the loss of volume and development of unwanted lines, wrinkles, and folds in the face as the network of collagen, hyaluronic acid molecules and fat cells that create volume are depleted. Together, breakdown and depletion of these molecules results in wrinkles and other changes to the skin. By replacing the hyaluronic acid that has depleted over time, you can restore natural looking volume, eradicating fine lines and wrinkles.

There are a variety of dermal fillers available, each designed to address different concerns and skin types - these will be discussed with you on consultation. From enhancing lips or cheeks, to restoring volume in various areas - fillers can smooth skin and give a more rejuvenated and youthful appearance.

We are experts at creating a natural look for you - rather than looking at one specific area, it is very popular to use 1-5ml dermal filler in a "liquid lift", adding subtle volumising to multiple areas or anchor points, to create a complete transformation without looking unnatural or "done".  This takes skill and detailed consultation to ensure the results are suited to your skin, your age and your goals.  We also offer revolutionary Plasma Filler / Autologous Bio-Gel for a Liquid Lift, using clients own plasma for a very natural and safe alternative - see our pages HERE.  We are highly trained in this specialist treatment with the pioneers, Cosmo-Pro.

The dermal fillers we use are based on a unique form of hyaluronic acid, a polysaccharide substance that naturally occurs in the skin. They work by absorbing moisture and restoring volume. Depending on the area and the desired results, the fillers vary in thickness. For more prominent, deeper lines, thicker fillers are used to add volume. For finer lines and wrinkles, thinner hydration fillers are more suitable as they trap water beneath the skin and naturally add volume to these very fine lines.

The choice of dermal filler will be discussed with you on full medical consultation - we like Revolax, Belotero, Juvederm and Teoxane Redensity II. We are members of the CTIA - Cosmetic Treatments & Injectables Association, with full training, support and accreditation.  Please note - we also use the cannula method of injection for a safer administration in certain areas, e.g., naso-labial folds and tear trough.  We are also fully trained to dissolve hyaluronic acid dermal filler should this be required and in the use of epi-pen which we hold on site for the extremely low, but possible, risk of allergic reaction.  Clients will have a full consultation to discuss desired results prior to treatment and to discuss possible side effects, complications and after-care. 

Post Procedure Care

Immediately after treatment, there may be slight redness, swelling, tenderness in the treated area.  This is a normal result of the injections and is temporary and generally disappears in a few days.  Bruising is also possible.  We will discuss any complications of dermal filler with you on consultation.  Whilst the likelihood of these complications are very low, and we only use our trained safe methods to inject , we take your safety very seriously and we are available for any questions or visit post treatment and encourage you to be in touch in the days following to ensure everything has settled as expected.  We are fully trained to recognise any complications and deal with issues in the unlikely event that these should arise.
