DERMAL FILLERS
DERMAL FILLER TREATMENTS
As our skin ages, the volume is lost in our face and neck, as the subcutaneous fat starts to sink, resulting in a tired, sunken and lined face. Dermal fillers are an injectable treatment where tiny doses of hyaluronic acid are used to lift, plump and rejuvenate the skin, restoring the lost volume whilst preventing sagging skin. These treatments produce instant results and can last from 12 to 18 months.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DERMAL FILLERS AND BOTOX
Whilst Botox works to reduce muscle activity in the face to allow the surrounding skin to smooth and reduce wrinkles, Dermal Fillers fill deflated areas with hyaluronic acid to stimulate collagen and elastin growth, as well as lifting and plumping the skin for a youthful look.
Deciding between botox and filler will depend on the type of wrinkles you want to reduce. Botox is the better choice for dynamic wrinkles that occur when the face is making expressions, in areas such as the forehead. Whereas Fillers are better for static wrinkles, such as when your face is relaxed and making no expressions, as these sunken areas will benefit from the fullness provided by fillers.
Whichever kind of procedure you choose, both offer very effective forms of treatment to reduce signs of ageing and help you maintain a youthful appearance.

AREAS THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM DERMAL FILLERS
Cheeks And Temples: Injections into the cheeks and temples will help to lift any sagging areas and tighten loose skin throughout the whole face. Marionette lines and nasolabial folds can be treated directly, but often treating the cheeks will lift this area. Individual fine lines and wrinkles can also be smoothed out.
Lips: As we age, our lips thin out and develop fine lines. Small injections can be used to subtly plump your lips and renew the youthful look of clear, defined lines. You can also choose to have a fuller lip or keep your lips their natural size whilst just firming up the border and rehydrating the body of the lip.
Tear Trough: The Tear Trough is the area between your lower eyelid and cheek. As we age, we lose the volume in this area, which can often cause dark circles, as well as hollow and sunken eye areas. You can significantly reduce these fine lines, in addition to getting rid of dark circles.
Noses: Also known as the non-surgical nose jobs or non-surgical rhinoplasty, these injections can be used to minimise/smooth out bumps, restructure nostrils and straighten crooked noses to improve your nose profile. A new but subtle look can be created easily and quickly.
Jawline and Chin: Fillers are an amazing way to shape your jaw and chin area by softening the appearance of jowls and strengthen weak chins to create a stronger jawline. The aim of fillers is to naturally replace the lost volume and restore your face to its original youthful glow. If your concerns are regarding a double-chin, coolsculpting might be a better option.
