What are dermal fillers ?
As the skin ages, it gradually loses collagen and fat which are required to prevent the skin from becoming saggy. Dermal fillers help to restore the skin to its previous youthful appearance. Filler is injected into the areas of the skin where it needs to be plumped up again and made to look firmer. It is great for treating naso-labial lines (between the nose and mouth), marionette lines (lines in the corner of the mouth), deep wrinkles, depressions, blemishes and hollow sunken cheeks. The leading dermal filler used by most UK doctors is a hyaluronic acid based product. At our clinic we use our newest product Hydrafill Softline®, Softline Max®, Restylane ® and Restylane Perlane ® |

How are dermal fillers given ?
Topical anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area or a local anaesthetic injection can be given prior to the procedure to ensure minimal discomfort. The area will then be injected with a fine needle into the lines or problem areas to plump them up. The results are visible immediately. Your skin will be smoother and younger looking. Treatments usually take around 30-45 minutes. |

How long do dermal fillers last ?
The results can last from 9-12 months, but this varies from one person to another. Without top up treatment, the filler will gradually break down and get absorbed by the body allowing the lines and wrinkles to return to their previous appearance. |

What are the risks or side effects associated with dermal fillers ?
In the UK dermal filler treatments have grown tremendously as the treatment is effective and the risks are low. Following the procedure you may experience some redness, swelling and bruising which is normal and will subside. |
