Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers

Whether the reason is ageing or simply sun damage, dermal fillers can subtly help turn back the clock and erase the signs of ageing.

Dermal fillers, what are they?

Dermal fillers consist of synthetically created Hyaluronic Acid. They replicate collagen in the skin by firming the area, lifting out lines and wrinkles and instantly replacing the volume that has been lost. Hyaluronic Acid helps keep the skin supple, hydrated and volumous.

How long do Dermal fillers last?

The effect of Dermal fillers can typically last up to 6-12 months, but we can offer our patients a "top-up" procedure at any time to maintain the effect.

Are Dermal fillers safe?

Dermal fillers are non-permanent and are absorbed naturally and safely by the body over time.

How is the procedure performed?

The fillers are injected under the skin using a very small needle. The procedure is quick, virtually painless and the results immediate. The extent to which the needle is injected and the consistency of gel used is determined by the depth of the wrinkle or fold to be treated. There may be some slight swelling or bruising but this usually clears within 24-48 hours.

What Dermal filler will I have?

Juvederm Ultra is a prestigious range of dermal fillers from Allergan the makers of BOTOX®.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers which can be lumpy and give uneven results, the Hyaluronic Acid in Juvederm Ultra is blended into a homogenous gel, leading to an instant, smoother, more natural finish.
As the gel is so fine, smaller needles are needed to inject and discomfort is reduced further. Also the unique addition of pain killing Lidocaine Anaesthetic within the Dermal filler assists remove much of the discomfort caused. Juvederm Ultra is the only family of Hyaluronic Acid dermal filler that is FDA approved for results up to 12 months, so the results you can achieve will last for longer.
