DERMA FILLERS

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment for adding volume to areas of the face, giving them a refreshed and more youthful appearance.

Derma fillers are hyaluronic acid which are a natural filler that is injected directly into the skin to reduce the signs of ageing, fill out wrinkles, creases and improve overall skin quality, by adding moisture back where it is needed. They also add volume, to either restore volume lost over time, or to provide a subtle enhancement, leaving you feeling confident.

Lips

The lips can be injected with dermal filler either in the body of the lip to boost fullness or the border of the lips to increase definition. This treatment is ideal for correcting thin lips but can also help solve problems with a downward smile and the need to lengthen the mouth

Vermillion border Smoker’s lines

These are the vertical lines above the lip that appear when you pout. They are mostly caused by regular lip move- ments but are also called smokers lines, because regular smoking means pressing the lips together. If your lines are deep enough then they can be drastically reduced with a small amount of injectable filler to achieve a smoother appearance.

Naso-labial folds

Commonly known as the smile or laughter lines, these are the two skin folds that run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. If you are bothered by your nasolabial folds, and wonder what to do to improve the area then filler is perfect to fill out these folds, and partnered with cheek filler the face will appear much younger looking.

Mouth corners

Sometimes the corners of your mouth can droop leaving you looking unhappy. Dermal filler can be placed below the corners of the mouth with a small amount directly into the corners of the lips.

Marionette lines

Marionette lines run between the corners of the lips down towards the chin and jaw giving a puppet-like effect. As we age, our facial bones become smaller resulting in lines like these appearing. Dermal filler is great for filling in these lines making them less prominent.

Cheeks

As you age you lose an amount of subcutaneous fat which can result in a loss of volume and elasticity to the face. This in turn highlights hollow cheek bones, and the presence of excess skin resulting in sunken cheeks. This can cause someone to appear gaunt and tired-looking. Dermal fillers can be injected into this area to plump out the face with natural volume and a gentle lift. This is an advanced technique and is offered at one of our specialist training days.

Hands

Hands are a new use for fillers, patients have found that the use of the fillers in their face is great for concealing their real age, but then it is often their hands that give it away. Ageing hands lose volume and the skin appears thinner. Having filler injected into the skin on the back of the hands can make them appear plumper and less veiny.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)

Nose filler is an alternative rhinoplasty, or the ‘non-surgical nose job’. Nose filler is an incredibly resourceful and minimally invasive way of adapting the natural contours of the nose using injectables. Nose filler can make the nose appear smaller, smoother or more defined, and is a much less harsh course of action than traditional Rhinoplasty. With results that can be seen immediately, Nose Filler is a semi-permanent, non-surgical solution to nasal woes such as: sunken bridges, asymmetry, protrusion, broadness, grooves, humps or kinks. This treatment involves very little pain and absolutely no downtime

Non-Surgical Jaw Enhancement

Non-Surgical Jaw Enhancement’ or ‘Mandible Augmentation’, is a cosmetic procedure which makes use of a softer gel-based filler to create a natural boost to the lower face. This specially formulated filler is more malleable, allowing it to settle into the intricate contours of the face where injected. Whether it is to create a strong masculine jaw, or rather the illusion of shapely feminine elegance and poise, the placement of filler along the jawbone can work absolute wonders on our facial silhouette. It is a procedure both loved and relied upon by many patients – both male and female.

Chin Augmentation

Chin Filler can enhance the overall appearance of the chin area. Dermal Fillers are an excellent way to shape and adjust a more satisfactory profile. An under formed or weak chin can be genetic and can pitch into a patient’s overall confidence. Dermal Filler can be used on the chin to stiffen the skin and define the chin and jowl area, lessening the weakness of a weak chin. Chin filler can lengthen and enhance one’s lower facial appearance creating a more balanced profile.

Tear Trough

Tear trough rejuvenation is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment for patients with lower eyelid dark circles or dark hollows (also referred to as ‘tear troughs’ or ‘tear trough defects’).

In the lower eyelid a weakening of the orbital septum, and in the cheek area (the ‘mid-face’) a loss of soft tissue volume, tend to accentuate the appearance of the lower bony orbital margin which lies between the lower eyelid and the cheek. This also leads to the appearance of lower eyelid fat pockets (‘eye bags’) and together these can lead to a dark shadow or hollow beneath the eyes (a ‘tear trough defect’). This may result in a dreary appearance that can make you appear older. This can also deteriorate when stressed or tired.

The Tear Trough treatment can eliminate these unruly dark circles and rescue your youthful appearance. This treatment is very popular for those who want to achieve natural-looking results without the need for invasive surgery. A suitable candidate for tear trough filler must have sufficient hollowness with thick redundant skin. This enables the low-density filler to sit well within the tear-trough.
