What are Dermal Fillers?Over time as our skin ages and loses its youthfulness. Many people become aware of wrinkles and lines that can age them, making them appear tired and less attractive. Dermal fillers are a regenerative treatment, which can define, restore and enhance the face while respecting the unique anatomy and character that makes you.
-
What treatments can I have?Dermal fillers are injected just under the skin to plump out lines and to add volume where needed. The dermal filler comprises of a gel made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. This makes it a very safe product to use. Areas such as the cheeks, chin and jawline can be enhanced to create a contoured look. Volume can be added to the lips, cheeks or the under eye area. Deeper lines such as nose to mouth, mouth to chin and smoker lines can be dramatically softened. The results are instantly visible and generally last 6-9 months, sometimes longer and require no maintenance.
-
Are there any side effects or risks?There may be some redness, swelling and bruising after the treatment which can take a few days to resolve. Whilst dermal fillers are medically safe the treatment may not be not be suitable for certain patients. A full medical consultation will be carried out with the doctor to ensure the procedure is safe to carry out.
-
How long does the result last?Results are apparent immediately after the procedure, so you leave the clinic with an immediate improvement. Most dermal fillers will last between six to 18 months, depending on which filler is used and how your body responds to the treatment.
Who is suitable for PRP?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is often used to treat a variety of skin conditions, such as acne scarring, sun damage, and aging, as well as hair loss.
Good candidates for PRP skin and hair therapy are generally healthy individuals who are experiencing problems with their skin or hair that have not responded well to other treatments. It is important that the patient have a sufficient number of platelets in their blood in order to undergo PRP therapy. We determine if a patient is a good candidate for PRP therapy based on their medical history and a physical examination.
PRP skin and hair therapy may not be suitable for individuals who have certain medical conditions, such as bleeding disorders or a history of blood clots. It is also not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is important to discuss any concerns or potential risks with a healthcare provider before undergoing PRP therapy.
