What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are used to treat areas of the face which have lost volume. By restoring this lost volume, this creates a lift and rejuvenates areas that need more volume. This also improves the structure of the face and texture of the skin by restoring hydration.

At Health & Aesthetics, we use Revanesse and Teoxane fillers. These are FDA approved so they are proven to be both safe and effective. It is important when looking at fillers to consider who is injecting you and what they are injecting as the UK is severely under-regulated.

Treatment Areas

We have a range of different fillers meaning we can offer treatment in several different areas.

Our hyaluronic acid fillers attract water from surrounding tissues to retain skin moisture, add plumpness, change facial structure, and smooth lines in the face, nose, ears, lips, and hands. Our collagen-stimulating fillers can also be used to improve skin texture in the face and hands.

We also have fillers that can be used on areas such as the jaw lines, cheeks, chin, temples, and various parts of the face.

Dermal Fillers are gels made from crosslinked hyaluronic acid which means that it smooth and easy to inject while lasting for several months. Hyaluronic acid can hold 100x its weight in water so when it is injected, it attracts water from the surrounding tissues helping the skin to retain moisture, adding plumpness and smoothing lines of the treatment area.

Teoxane and Revanesse have an extensive range of fillers that vary in thickness and can therefore be used to treat different area. There are fillers specifically designed to restore volume in the cheeks, to define and sculpt and also to restore volume in the lips. The choice of filler will be made under guidance with your doctor in the consultation so that the right filler is used for your specific need.

Dermal Fillers help people to look less tired, less angry, more awake and well rested. They can lift the face effectively and match the way you look outside to the way you feel inside.

FAQs

What happens at my dermal filler consultation?

During your consultation, a doctor will explore your goal, budget, and medical history. They will help to explore your options, as well as explain more about the dermal filler process. We want to help you make the right decision for you, so it’s also a great opportunity to ask any questions.

How long does Dermal Filler treatment take?

The treatment takes about 30 minutes to an hour. Afterwards, you will see the results straight away. Moreover, the effects will last between 6 months and 2 years, depending upon the areas treated and the filler used.

How long do dermal fillers last?

Every filler is different and your doctor will discuss how long your results should last. Hyaluronic acid fillers can last between six months and two years, depending on the type and location of the filler. These fillers can also be dissolved if necessary. Other fillers can’t be dissolved. Your doctor will discuss the expected longevity of your fillers during your consultation.

Is treatment painful?

Most people don’t find dermal fillers too painful, but you might feel a sharp scratch with the injection. We can provide numbing cream to help with pain management if necessary.

Will I look dramatically different?

At Health & Aesthetics, we are passionate about developing results which look natural and subtle. We aim to enhance your features, improve your profile, and create a more balanced look, rather than opt for a dramatic shift in appearance. Our skilled doctors use bespoke MeDical codes (injection sites on the face) for each individual, meaning your results will always be tailored to your unique anatomy.

What are collagen stimulating fillers?

Some fillers also encourage your skin to produce collagen. We use these on the face and hands, but are not reversible. All of our fillers are FDA approved and discussed fully with you prior to any treatment.

What are Hyaluronic acid fillers?

Hyaluronic acid fillers work by attracting water from the surrounding tissues, helping the skin to retain moisture which adds plumpness, smooths lines and restores volume. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be used in the face, ears, nose, lips and hands. These fillers are fully reversible and can be easily removed if required. At Health & Aesthetics we use only the safest and highest quality hyaluronic acid fillers which are FDA approved. Learn more about the importance of who is injecting you and the importance of FDA approval here.

What is the 8-point facelift?

The 8-Point Face Lift is a clever technique to restore lost volume and structure to the face using carefully targeted fillers. Dr Mauricio de Maio, an eminent surgeon from Brazil, developed this technique.

Over recent years, we reached a better understanding of the ageing process and volume loss. This means more sophisticated treatments available for everyone. With this technique, we can use small amounts of filler at different points on the face to create a rejuvenated, natural look. After the 8-point lift, Dr de Maio developed his technique further which are now called MD Codes.

What are MD Codes?

MeDical (MD) Codes are a series of predefined and precise injection sites in the face. Just like the 8-point facelift technique, Dr de Maio developed these codes, making it even more detailed and precise. Dr Tailor will administer dermal fillers to these points and this results in a more rejuvenated, natural looking face.Did you know that there are 75 different MD Codes for the face?

Use of MD Codes allows for a bespoke, tailor made treatment. The practitioner has to monitor and check  the facial proportions and anatomy before using the codes to rejuvenate, lift and give natural results. In the past, injectors administered fillers as seen fit. This did not address the cause of the problem but instead added weight and volume. Dr Tailor has extensive experience with injectable treatments and use of MD Codes.

How many ml of Dermal Filler will I need?

This is entirely dependent on the treatment area, the volume needed and the desired results. This will be discussed prior to any treatment in your consultation.

What aftercare is required?

It is important that prior to any treatment, that you avoid any products containing aspirin as this thins the blood and can cause bruising around the injection site. After injection, it is important not to touch the area due to the risk of introducing infection into the area.

Are dermal fillers safe?

With any injectable treatments, it’s incredibly important to choose a clinic that is regulated and has highly skilled staff. At Health & Aesthetics, we only use well researched FDA treatments, and all our doctors have extensive knowledge and experience with injectables. This means you can rest assured that your dermal fillers experience will be safe and effective.

Are there any side effects of dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are convenient in the fact they have very minimal side effects and most people can resume daily life as normal. Some people experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness around the injection site, but this can usually be covered with makeup.

Is there anything I should avoid before treatment?

Avoiding aspirin products before treatment is advisable as these can thin the blood and increase the chances of bruising on the injection site. You should also avoid alcohol if possible.

What happens when dermal fillers wear off?

When your fillers gradually wear off, the treated area will begin to return to its original shape. This generally happens slowly. Many people go on to have more dermal fillers treatment in the same area.

What is a non surgical nose job?

Non surgical nose jobs (or Rhinoplasty) provide a safe, non surgical alternative for patients who want to make small cosmetic changes to their nose.

The treatment involves injecting Hyaluronic Acid fillers into different points on the nose to achieve a straighter, softer and more lifted profile. The treatment is safe and quick and the results can help improve patient self esteem for those who are self conscious about their nose.
