Dermal fillers can be used to plump out wrinkles and deep lines that occur with age to help restore a fuller and more youthful complexion.
They can also be used to restore lost volume and contour the face, whether it be for beautification or rejuvenation. When injected in the lips they can help restore definition to the lip or help produce a more voluminous pout.
Modern dermal fillers contain Hyaluronic Acid (HA). HA is a modified form of a chemical found naturally in the skin that helps hydrate, deliver nutrients and retain moisture. When injected into the skin or lips, it can create a more voluminous appearance to leave natural-looking, immediately noticeable and long-lasting results. All dermal fillers used are non-permanent and if indicated, reversible – giving them an impeccable safety rating.
HA filler also contains a local anaesthetic that numbs the area within seconds, allowing maximum comfort during treatment. To further minimise discomfort, topical or injectable anaesthetic can be applied to the treatment area prior to treatment.
As HA is a natural component of the skin, it is naturally metabolised, meaning all forms of HA fillers are temporary requiring a future top-up. Longevity of results varies depending on the area of the face where fillers are used
Dr Rachael believes in a holistic approach to treatment. Every treatment starts with a consultation; consultations are free of charge and allow Rachael to assess your specific needs and tailor a treatment plan which is most suitable to you.
Various brands, densities and delivery techniques are used depending on the treatment area and desired result; every treatment is bespoke. All products used comply with current UK safety standards; brands used include Juvederm, Belotero, Restylane and Teoxane
Lip fillers or otherwise described as ‘lip augmentation’ use HA to restore shape, volume and structure to the lips.
As part of the natural ageing process, the lips lose volume and the margins become less defined. Fillers are a simple, quick and relatively pain-free treatment with nearly no downtime.
Whether you want a subtle improvement or a more obvious voluminous change, treatment is always tailored to you as the individual. A free, pre-treatment consultation can be carried out to plan how treatment can be carried out to achieve your desired look.
The ‘trout pout’ look that many people associate with lip fillers is only caused when too much product is used or natural anatomy isn’t respected. Prior to any treatment, our practitioners can talk you through how treatment can produce results that are either subtle or make a statement. Different injection techniques are used depending on the desired effect (including use of a cannula).
As part of your consultation, your practitioner will help you decide what volume and product is best indicated to create your desired outcomes.
Results in this area last around 6-8 months but can last as long as 24 months with subsequent treatments.
The cheeks are a centre point to the face and an important element in facial attractiveness. Well-defined the cheeks symbolise a youthful appearance, they create balance to the face and improve the facial profile. Cheek fillers can act to create high arched cheekbones for younger men and women who desire a more contoured look. Alternatively, they can help to restore mid-face volume for patients who have lost volume through the natural ageing process.
When carrying out cheek augmentation, fillers explicitly chosen for their lifting ability are used. Using a combination of needle and cannula techniques, treatment can be carried out in a single session or gradually built up over multiple appointments.
With topical numbing cream, the discomfort is rated as minimal with results seen instantly, and continue to improve in the two weeks following treatment.
Treatment in this area lasts for 12-18 months.
Chin and jawline fillers can have a dramatic effect on improving facial proportions and profile. Whether they are used to rejuvenate, beautify or masculinise the face.
Results are immediate and typically last around 12-24 months using Juvederm or Teoxane fillers.
Beautification and masculinisation – a ‘weak’ chin and jawline can be genetic. It can act as a significant source of dissatisfaction and self-confidence for patients with this complaint.
High-density dermal filler can be injected using a combination of safe needle and cannula techniques to create and sharpened jawline, mandibular angle and proportional chin. Whether it be to masculinise the male face to produce a squarer stronger jawline or to feminise the female face to create and more almond or inverted triangle shape, treatment to this area can enhance the overall facial attractiveness.
Rejuvenation – as part of the natural ageing process fat deposits are redistributed in the face. In women this can change the face from a feminine inverted triangle shape to a more masculine square appearance. As ‘jowls’ develop definition to the jawline can be lost leading to a dissatisfying appearance. Using high density filler contour can be returned to the jawline, restoring a youthful appearance.
As part of the natural ageing process skin crease around the mouth become more noticeable. The skin can begin to look less ‘plump’ as fat is lost from the cheeks resulting reduction in skin volume, making folds appear deeper and creases appearing permanent.
We take a full-face approach to fillers assessing the face as a whole before planning treatment, treatment of this area may involve treating the nasolabial folds and marionette lines or incorporating treatment of other areas such as the cheeks.
Nasolabial folds are commonly known as “smile lines” are the lines running from either side of the nose to the corners of the mouth separating the cheeks from the upper lip. These lines become more apparent in the natural ageing of the face.
The nasolabial folds can be treated with dermal fillers to restore volume to the area restoring a more youthful appearance.
Even if you’ve never heard of marionette lines aka ‘puppet lines’ you are probably aware of what they are. These are the lines that run from the corner of the mouth, giving an ‘upside-down smile’.
