Loss of volume is one of the first signs of ageing. It can cause the face to droop, sunken features, and a sagging appearance, making the face look tired and drawn. Dermal fillers are a temporary treatment to restore volume, treat lines and wrinkles, hydrate and recontour the face.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a sugar molecule that exists naturally beneath the skins surface. As we age the HA, elastin, and collagen decrease. Dermal fillers work by boosting the skin's supply of hyaluronic acid to instantly reverse the effect of ageing, restoring a more youthful appearance.
The effects of dermal fillers can be seen instantly, however there is often swelling, and localised redness associated with the treatment which can last a few days. All risks will be discussed at your consultation and post care information will be given.
Dermal fillers can be renowned for producing unrealistic and unnatural results, however, in the right hands dermal filler can be used to create subtle enhancements to produce a more natural youthful appearance. Prior to treatment a consultation will be had to discuss desired outcome. A topical anaesthetic cream will be applied to skin to numb the area - this will reduce any discomfort during the treatment.

There are many different types of fillers available in the UK. Dependant on the thickness of filler used and the brand, dermal filler treatments can last anywhere between 3 months and a year. Cheaper products will inevitably lead to poor outcomes and poor longevity of treatment, which is why here at The Enhance Clinic we always use the market leader - Juvéderm Dermal Fillers.
