Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are popular treatments for wrinkles and facial lines. A dermal filler procedure helps to 'fill out' and smooth away troublesome:
- Nose to Mouth Grooves
- Forehead Lines
-
Frown Furrows
- Lipstick Lines
- Acne Pits
- Crows Feet
Dermal fillers are also effective for increasing fullness to narrow lips, enhancing sunken cheeks and can even be used to contour the bridge of the nose.
Dermal Fillers - The Treatment
Collagen is a natural protein that is the main constituent of skin, bones, muscles and ligaments. Over time, our collagen cells which provide the structural support, resilience and shape to the skin, reduce in number which causes the skin to lose elasticity allowing fine lines and wrinkles to develop.
Collagen Replacement Therapy using dermal fillers make it possible to temporarily suspend and even reverse the signs of ageing. Following treatment, wrinkles are markedly and visibly reduced and lines in the skin, repaired. The suppleness, elasticity and tone of the skin is naturally restored, with immediately visible results.
Pain Free Lip Treatments
The Harley Medical Group* now offers the option of dental blocks for pain free dermal filler lip treatments. The dental block is a safe local anaesthetic which is applied prior to receiving a dermal filler lip treatment.
Dermal Filler Types
There are a wide variety of dermal fillers available and our fully qualified Cosmetic Nurse Therapist will need to assess your skin carefully before selecting the correct filler for you.
Historically, collagen fillers, which were derived from cow hide, have been very popular but these have now been largely replaced by more technologically advanced man made fillers (such as Restylane and Teosyal), which are specifically designed for each area enabling the treatment to be administered quickly with very little 'down time' or recovery time. As these man made fillers are animal-free they also require no test prior to treatment, whereas approx 2-3% of people have an allergic reaction to collagen and as such we carry out a 28-day skin test, prior to any collagen treatment.
