Dermal Fillers can be used to:

Over recent years the approaches used in dermal filling have changed considerably. Most patients I see want to have a line that irritates them minimised. My aim here is to consider where the line is coming from, and to ensure the best outcome, my approach focuses on treating the cause of the line.

Nasolabial Folds Before and After

Often the lines or depressions people complain of are caused by facial volume loss in the underlying tissues, whether that is post menopausal bone density reduction, muscle loss, or subcutaneous fat loss. Many of us are conscious of the laxity of our facial skin with age. If the underlying structures of the skin are revolumised with a dense dermal filler, then the skin on top sits higher and firmer, like it once did. Sometimes all that is required is to enhance the underlying tissues with a supportive filler. If there are still finer lines visible then a softer hyaluronic acid filler might be ‘layered’ into the dermis to lift out the finer and more superficial creases. Think of it like a table with a tablecloth on top, if the table is firm and taught the cloth can be positioned over it smoothly.

Nasolabial Folds Before and After

These approaches, be it facial volumising or finer dermal filling are discussed at length with Cheryl in the consultation. The aim with facial contouring is to recreate the naturally oval facial shape of youth, and replace the angular depressions that can appear with age. The face will have a restored three dimensional appearance.

Dermal fillers have applications for facial depressions, lines and contours in cheeks, temples, jowls, naso-labial folds, smokers lines around the mouth, deep frown lines, marionette lines, hands, chins.

Nasolabial Folds Before and After

Some patients can lose volume in their lips and vermillion border, and soft dermal fillers are used in these areas to replace natural plumpness to the lip contours. This enhancement results in a lovely definition to the lip border. Having lips volumised can also improve the hydration of the lip surface, as hyaluronic acid is a potent moisturising agent.

Dermal fillers are gel based injectables. Most of them are mixed with a lidocaine based local anaesthetic prior to insertion into the tissue, to help reduce sensation. In addition for her clients comfort Cheryl will apply a local anaesthetic cream to the treatment areas. This is applied approx 30 mins prior to commencing treatment. Some patients prefer to have a dental block injection into the gums for more sensitive lip treatments making the treatment entirely painless. This is included with the treatment.

There are some post procedural recovery points to note. The areas treated will be red, there can be some temporary swelling, and there is a risk of minor bruising. It might be necessary to massage the treatment areas at home, and if so Cheryl will show you the technique during the procedure. Mineral makeup will be applied by Cheryl before you leave the clinic, if you so wish.

Results with dermal fillers are instant, and depending on the type of filler selected can last for periods from 6 months extending up to 18 months. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, hydration levels, nutrition, excessive exercise, mechanical facial treatments and expression impact greatly upon how long dermal fillers last.
