Restore Youthful Volume to Your Face

Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution to replenish lost volume and enhance your natural contours, effectively rejuvenating your appearance.

Overview

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have been around for 20 years and the technology has become very sophisticated and versatile since its introduction.

From about the age of 25, the amount of collagen produced in our skin starts to decrease. When we reach our forties, collagen production comes to a majorly disappointing stand still – stopping altogether. The result of this is dry, sagging, dull skin. Coupled with this, comes another great contributor to visible signs of ageing – bone resorption. The mid face (cheek area) is affected most dramatically, which can leave us appearing tired and sunken.

Fillers can replace lost volume and thus lift or contour the face. With the right type of dermal filler, my aim is to subtly reproduce this lost volume and provide an age-appropriate rejuvenated look. When used in this way, Hyaluronic acid dermal filler can smooth unwanted facial wrinkles for a younger appearance.

Facial profile can be improved using dermal fillers. It is not uncommon for patients seeking lip filler or nose filler despite realising on side profile they have a small or large chin – they require profile balancing with chin filler. Treatment without full face appreciation can emphasise a profile imbalance. As a dentist with orthodontic training, I am trained to take a full-face approach with my treatment plans.

Temple

As we age, the temple area often loses volume, resulting in a sunken appearance in the upper face. To counteract this effect, dermal fillers can be used to replenish the lost volume in this region.

Cheeks

Over time, the malar fat pad in the cheeks tends to descend and lose volume, affecting multiple facial areas. Dermal fillers can help by enhancing and contouring the cheekbones and restoring volume in areas that have thinned.

Mouth to Nose Line

The continuous pressure from the midface and the pull of the Depressor Anguli Oris muscle can cause this area to become more pronounced and sag downwards, giving the face a sad and aged look.

Jawline

If the jawline is lacking definition or appears less prominent, applying dermal filler around the jaw area can enhance its shape and contour, resulting in a more defined and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Chin

In some instances, the chin may look small or recessed, making it less prominent in the lower part of the face. Dermal fillers can be applied to the chin area to add volume and elongate the face, creating the appearance of a more defined profile.

Lips

Lips have several attractive features, including their border, volume, balance, and symmetry. Dermal fillers can enhance the appearance of youthful lips by adding volume and improving overall aesthetics. Additionally, dermal fillers can restore volume to aging lips, rejuvenating their look.

Neck

Dermal fillers can rejuvenate the neck by smoothing fine lines, adding volume to sagging areas, and improving skin texture, resulting in a more youthful and firm appearance.

Chin Shadowing

Chin shadowing with dermal filler is a technique used to enhance and define the chin, creating a more sculpted and balanced facial profile. By strategically placing dermal fillers, we can add volume and structure to the chin area, subtly enhancing its shape and projection. Perfect for those looking to refine their jawline and improve their overall facial symmetry.

Nose Reshaping

Nose reshaping with dermal filler, also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty, is an innovative procedure designed to enhance the shape and contour of your nose without the need for invasive surgery. By carefully injecting dermal fillers into specific areas of the nose, we can smooth out bumps, refine the nasal tip, and create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.

Benefits:

Volume Restoration and Contouring

Dermal fillers can replace lost volume, lifting and contouring the face to create a youthful appearance. By balancing features, such as adding volume to the chin for profile harmonisation, they significantly improve the overall facial profile.

Smoothing lines and wrinkles

Dermal fillers can reduce nasolabial folds, soften marionette lines, and minimise lip lines, effectively for a rejuvenated appearance.

Facial feature ENHANCEMENT

Dermal fillers are versatile for refining various facial features, offering improvements to the nose, under-eye area, lips, cheeks, jawline, and more.

Collagen boost

Dermal fillers boosts the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid, enhancing hydration and elasticity.

Experience Immediate Results

Dermal fillers work by instantly adding volume and smoothing out wrinkles and creases in the targeted area. As the filler gradually integrates beneath the skin, the desired results become noticeable within just a few days.

Comfortable and Long-Lasting

With numbing agents applied beforehand and most products containing local anesthesia, the treatment ensures comfort throughout. Additionally, its effects are long-lasting (6 to 12 months).

For Men

Dermal filler treatments for men are designed to cater to the unique structural and aesthetic needs of male skin, which is generally thicker and has a different pattern of aging compared to women. Men often seek to enhance their jawline, chin, and cheekbones while maintaining a natural, masculine appearance.

Our approach uses specific techniques and filler types to achieve subtle, yet effective results that enhance facial contours and restore volume without compromising the defined features that characterise a masculine face.

Frequently Asked Questions;

Are Dermal fillers better than Botox?

I wouldn’t say that dermal fillers are better than Botox injections. Their purpose is different and they compliment each other.

Dermal fillers replace lost volume so are used on static lines which remain visible on the face even when it’s relaxed and expressionless. Dynamic lines are visable on expression and are generally best treated with Botox.

Are Dermal fillers permanent?

The dermal fillers I use in my clinic are hyaluronic acid based, they are therefore not permanent. While it is disappointing that treatment needs to be maintained, its actually a good thing!

Should anything to wrong, I have the ability to reverse the hyaluronic acid dermal fillers using an enzyme prescription only medication, called Hyaluronidase. This is ensures your safety during the treatment.

Are Dermal fillers safe?

Dermal fillers are generally safe, but they are best carried out by an experience medical professional. You should check that the professional doing thetreatment is on a medical register, experienced and insured. Prescribing medical professionals will have access to reversal prescription only medication, hyaluronidase should they need it.

The most common side effects are short lived and include redness at the site of the injections from the needle or cannula entry. Bruising is also possible and resolves after a few days.

Serious problems are thankfully very rare, but can include infection, poor result, blockage of a blood vessel causing tissue death and extremely blindness. Dr Janice has undertaken many complication courses and is supported by medical colleagues should assistance be required.

Does your face go back to normal after Dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers can be removed and your body will resorb them over time as it carries out its own housekeeping of your tissues.

If the amount of dermal filler is not excessive then your tissues will return to their normal, non filled shape. That said, if you have been having dermal fillers for a while and decide to have filler dissolved you may feel that the loss of volume is greater as it is difficult to remember your starting point.

How long do fillers last in your face?

Dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid vary in strength and the choice of product depends on your anatomy, the goal and technique I am using. I will use a different product for lip filler than chin filler or cheek filler, the injection techniques will also differ.

As a rough guide fillers will last between six and eighteen months, but that can vary between patients. Everyday your body will carry out its own housekeeping of your tissues, this includes dissolving of your own hyaluronic acid. This same process will dissolve the dermal filler over time. In mobile areas of the face, the mechanical movement of the tissues will help speed up this breaking down process.

How much do Dermal fillers cost?

Dermal fillers start from £200. For more information on prices.

How painful are Dermal fillers?

The procedures of dermal fillers is a little bit uncomfortable, but they are worth it!

I used the safest techniques to ensure minimal pain. Topical numbing cream is applied to numb the skin prior to injection and most of the products include a local anaesthesia agent, Lidocaine to ensure the placement is comfortable.

Lip fillers are the most sensitive, due to the sensory nature of the lips. Cheek filler and chin filler is very well tolerated. Most people are surprised how comfortable and quick dermal filler is.

Is everyone suitable for Dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are suitable for anyone who is in good health.

There are some conditions that may exclude you from the procedure. These include active infection in the area of concern, pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergy to any of the product contents or reversal medication. They should be used with caution in those with autoimmune conditions such as Lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

Is there specific aftercare for Dermal fillers?

It will usually take a few days to weeks after dermal filler for the treatment to fully settle. You should expect redness, swelling and tenderness in the treated area. This is usually due to the needle or cannula insertion. If you are worried it is best to contact me directly.

There are a few precautions you should take following treatment:

Avoid any heat inducing activities for 24-48 hours such as strenuous exercise, spas, saunas and hot showers.
Avoid pressure on the area for the first 48 hours (no face down massages).
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
Avoid active cosmeceutical products (AHAs, retinols, vitamin C) and oil-based makeup for 24 hours.
Avoid touching the face too to avoid infection.
Avoid facials, waxing, chemical peels, skin needling, microdermabrasion, IPL or laser treatments for 2 weeks after treatment.
Do not massage the treatment area unless instructed to do so.
Avoid any excessive kissing with fresh lip filler for the first 5 days, after that is up to you!

What do Dermal fillers do for the skin?

Dermal fillers plump the skin from the inside out by replacing lost fat and proteins to smooth lines and wrinkles.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers also have the advantage of being hydrophilic, that means they attract and retain water. This internal moisturiser attracts water and holds it in the tissues, helping fill out the skin, creating the perfect plumping effect.

What exactly is Dermal filler?

Dermal fillers can be made of various materials. The dermal fillers I use in my clinic are all made of hyaluronic acid.

This means they are closely matched to your own tissues and can be removed by dissolving if required. As hyaluronic acid is present in your own body the safety profile is high.

What type of Dermal fillers do you use?

I only use premium brand hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that I order through registered pharmacies in the UK.

The brands I use include Teoxane, Merz and Croma, nothing I wouldn’t have in my own face as a rule.

When should I get Dermal fillers?

As we age collagen and elastin is lost from our skin, our facial fat pads loose volume and the bony skeleton of the face starts to resorb resulting in less support to the facial tissues. All great news!

These changes will happen at different rates depending on genetic and lifestyle factors.

Therefore the time to consider dermal fillers will vary.

Younger patients are inclined to be open to the idea of lip filler, but you must bear in mind not to go to far, the facial profile might not be suitable for a larger lip. Mature patients are quite often apprehensive about lip filler, but the results can be very natural with the right product and technique.

Where do Dermal fillers go?

Dermal fillers can be placed in various areas of the face including:

Lip filler. The lips to restore or augment them
Peri oral filler. Lipstick lines or smokers lines that form around the lips
Cheeks filler to replace lost volume
Nasio labial fold filler to reduce how deep this fold appears
Chin filler to create the ideal facial profile and disguise a weak chin
Marionette filler. Filler to the mouth corners to reduce the downturned appearance
Jaw line filler to sharpen the angle of the jaw and soften the jowls
Nose filler to smooth out bumps
Tear trough filler to lift the hollows under the eyes in suitable cases. This is often combined with cheek filler for excellent results
Smile lines filler to reduce the creasing that appears beside the mouth when you smile
