Natural and safe dermal fillers in Barnet for youthful skin

Rejuvenate the appearance of your skin with dermal fillers, an injectable gel-like substance that adds volume to the skin’s soft tissues. They can be used to enhance facial contours and
structure. As we age, our skin loses volume, leading to a tired, sagging appearance. Dermal fillers help restore this lost volume, smoothing lines and wrinkles and creating a refreshed,
youthful look.

What are the benefits of dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment that can help to improve your appearance
and boost your self-confidence. Here are some of the key benefits of dermal fillers:

    • Reduced wrinkles and fine lines: Fillers can help to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, making your skin look refreshed and more radiant.
    • Enhanced facial volume: As we age, our faces can lose volume, leading to a hollow or gaunt appearance. Fillers can help to restore volume to your cheeks, temples, and
      lips.
    • Improved facial contouring: Fillers can be used to enhance your facial contours, such as your cheekbones and jawline.
    • Plumper lips: Fillers can help to plump up your lips, giving them a fuller and more youthful appearance.
    • Non-surgical solution: Dermal fillers are a non-surgical solution, meaning there is no downtime or recovery period.
    • Minimal discomfort: The procedure is typically quick and minimally invasive, with minimal discomfort.
    • Natural-looking results: When administered by a skilled professional, dermal fillers can produce natural-looking results.

The dermal filler treatment process

The dermal filler treatment process is relatively straightforward. Firstly, the area to be treated is thoroughly cleansed. A topical anaesthetic can be applied to numb the skin, ensuring a comfortable experience. The filler, a gel-like substance, is then injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. We will strategically place the filler to achieve the desired
outcome, whether it’s smoothing wrinkles, adding volume to the cheeks, or enhancing the lips. The entire process is typically quick, often taking less than an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers are a clear sterile gel in a syringe for injection into the skin providing instant correction. Hyaluronic acid attracts and binds water in the skin, providing volume and hydration, but also ‘cushioning’ and supporting collagen and elastin fibres and providing a medium, or carrier, for chemical messages between the cells.
This treatment is a medical procedure and though considered safe in safe hands, is not without risk. Your clinician will discuss all the risks and benefits with you at consultation and again prior to treatment. The majority of (rare) complications diagnosed and managed appropriately can be resolved without any permanent consequences. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are reversible should complications arise which lends an additional safety net.
The clinician will take a detailed medical history to ensure you have no conditions that might increase the risk of unwanted side effects, consultation and assessment are also important to discuss your expectations and whether this treatment can meet them.
Treatment need not be painful. Most leading brands also contain a local anaesthetic, and we can/will apply a topical anaesthetic cream, or ice, before treatment to numb the skin.
HA dermal fillers slowly dissolve over time and are not permanent. Longevity does vary between products, and between individuals, but most will last, on average, between 6 months and sometimes even longer. Lifestyle factors can affect longevity. If you choose not to maintain the results with further treatment, your skin will return to its pre-treatment state over time.
Swelling may worsen in the first 24 hours and then should settle within the first few days. Cold packs can help reduce swelling. Be sure not to apply ice directly to the skin or for too long. This can cause a ‘freeze burn’. Because of swelling, the product may feel harder or lumpy and you may notice some asymmetry. The final result may be judged at 2 weeks. Bruising may take a few days to appear, bromelain or arnica can be helpful in clearing bruising. It is advisable to avoid aspirin and alcohol for 12-48 hours after treatment. Tenderness should settle as swelling goes down. If you have bruising which concerns you, do contact the clinic for further advice. Please contact your clinician urgently if the skin appears pale, dusky, or mottled, these are symptoms that may indicate the filler is obstructing a blood vessel. These symptoms occur within hours rather than days. Contact the clinic without delay if redness, tenderness, itching, or swelling worsens after 3 days, rather than settling.
