They are injected just below the surface of the skin and add volume and/or structure for up to 6 months. Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar found in your body. Hyaluronic acid commonly occurs in the skin, joints and in eyes. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to hydrate the skin (by attracting and binding to water molecules), act as a cushioning agent and also to deliver nutrients.
Some areas of the face can lack the volume we desire. When skin ages it loses its elasticity and becomes less supple. Due to this, lips can lose their volume, lines appear around the mouth and nose area, and cheeks can start to look sunken and hollow. Dermal fillers provide great ‘plumping’ solutions, without surgical procedures.
Treatment time can range from 15 to 30 minutes.
Results are visible immediately.
Dr Gill is skilled at administering precision injections as painlessly as possible.
Following treatment you can continue your daily activities as normal, this includes eating, drinking, wearing makeup and going to work. It will not be noticeable that you have had treatment. We advise you to not exercise or use steam/saunas.
The most common side effects are temporary and localised bruising, slight redness of the skin and occasionally slight swelling at the injection site.
Touch-up treatments with dermal fillers (Hydrafill, Juvederm and Restylane) are required twice yearly, as over time these natural fillers are absorbed by your body, so if stop treatment your skin will gradually return to its original shape.
We use lots of muscles to give us facial expressions, so you will not be left expressionless. We selectively de-activate the muscles that cause the ageing lines that you are worried about.
