Professional Dermal Fillers in London

Conditions to Treat:

  1. Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Dermal fillers can effectively smooth out lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and vertical lip lines.
  2. Volume Loss: As we age, we may experience volume loss in areas like the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. Dermal fillers can restore lost volume, providing a more youthful appearance.
  3. Lip Augmentation: Dermal fillers can add volume and definition to the lips, enhancing their shape and fullness for a more attractive pout.
  4. Cheek Augmentation: By adding volume to the cheeks, dermal fillers can create a lifted and sculpted appearance, restoring youthful contours.
  5. Under Eye Hollows: Dermal fillers can fill in hollows or dark circles under the eyes, reducing the appearance of tiredness and rejuvenating the eye area. This is not done at the clinic.
  6. Jawline Contour: Dermal fillers can sculpt and enhance the jawline for a more defined and symmetrical facial appearance, reducing jowls.
  7. Nose Contour: Dermal fillers can reshape and refine the nose, addressing concerns such as dorsal humps or asymmetry for a more balanced profile.
  8. Chin Augmentation: Dermal fillers can add volume and definition to the chin, improving its projection and contour for a more balanced facial appearance.

Side Effects:

  • Bruising: Bruising at the injection site is common but usually resolves within a few days. Avoiding blood-thinning medications and alcohol before treatment can help minimise bruising.
  • Swelling: Mild swelling may occur, particularly in areas with delicate skin, but typically subsides within a few days.
  • Redness: Temporary redness or tenderness at the injection site is normal and usually resolves quickly.
  • Allergic Reaction: While rare, allergic reactions to dermal fillers can occur. It's essential to discuss any known allergies with your provider before treatment.
  • Blood Vessel Blockage: This may happen rarely by dermal fillers. Injecting Hyalase will reverse the treatment.

Aftercare:

  • Avoiding Sun Exposure: Protect treated areas from excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen regularly to prevent hyperpigmentation and uneven results.
  • Avoiding Strenuous Exercise: This will allow the swelling to go down.
  • Gentle Care: Avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent displacement of the filler.
  • Ice Packs: Applying ice packs to the treated areas can help reduce swelling and discomfort.

In summary, dermal fillers are effective for treating a range of aesthetic concerns, with common uses including wrinkle reduction, volume restoration, and lip augmentation. While side effects like bruising and swelling are possible, they are usually mild and temporary, and proper aftercare can help optimise results and minimise complications.
