DERMAL FILLER

​

As we age, our bodies begin to break down collagen and leave our faces looking deflated and more wrinkled. 

 

Where Botox works on the muscles, fillers work in tissues under the skin by plumping up areas of lost volume. 

 

The fillers we use are made of hyaluronic acid (HA). This is a substance found naturally in the skin, meaning our bodies process it as they would with natural HA.

​

Have a look at our specific filler pages for extra information. 

​

​

We tend to use Juvéderm and Teoxane fillers, as the global leaders, but other brands include Restylane, Revolax and Princess. 

 

Fillers come in different consistencies to create different results, so you may need different fillers for different areas. 

 

Fillers last between 6-12 months, again depending on your body’s individual metabolism.

  • One week prior to your treatment, avoid taking aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (Aspirin, Ibuprofen), Gingko Biloba, Vitamin E or fish oil supplements. 

 

  • These agents may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site. If you require a pain remedy during this time period, it is ok to take paracetamol.

 

  • Adding leafy greens to your diet will boost your Vitamin K and help to reduce the possibility of bruising and swelling.

 

  • Arnica supplements or creams have been shown to reduce discomfort, bruising and swelling from injectable procedures.
