The abundance of collagen, elastin, and fat the skin has in youth accounts for the flawless smooth look that begins to fade in adulthood. Environmental factors, some controllable, others not (sun exposure , poor diet, smoking, and exaggerated muscle movement), accelerate the process that genetics have set in motion. We now see that static wrinkles are a matter of the skin losing these youthful elements, and this can be remedied with new advanced products such as non-animal based hyaluronic acid fillers.

Many of the dermal fillers we use to treat wrinkles are bio-stimulants of the body's own collagen. Dermal fillers we use consist of hyaluronic acid (non-animal based) which is a substance naturally present in living cells. Filler are injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle and have a lasting result of up to 9-12 months and even longer after subsequent treatments. Hyaluronic acid can be used as a wrinkle filler, fold filler, cheek filler or for even lip augmentation. It supersedes in safety the older collagen (animal in origin) and silicon fillers now used less often.

Botox Injections can be combined with dermal fillers and resurfacing techniques to optimise and enhance results. Your doctor will discuss the best option for you depending on your type of skin wrinkles.

Results can be seen immediately and treatment with fillers is safe, fast and leaves no permanent scars or other traces on the face. Fillers add natural volume in your skin to lift and produce new firmness resulting in a healthy & vital appearance.

Wrinkles and folds which can develop in the chin area are easily remedied. Beginning with the lines extending downward from the corners of the mouth (puppet or Marionette lines) to the hollowing around the chin known as the pre-jowl sulcus, correction can be dramatic but subtle with properly placed dermal fillers. We can also help the chin look less prominent ("witch chin") and reduce lines and the orange peel (peau d'orange) look with a small amount of Botox strategically placed. This problem is also helped with Fraxel, but like the forehead, may respond less to laser resurfacing than other areas of the face, due to the muscular component. The area immediately under the chin (the submentum, can be best be treated with Thermage (for tightening only), or laser liposuction (Smartlipo), for reducing and tightening.

Can everybody use fillers?

• reduce lines and wrinkles

Do filler treatments need pain relief?

Generally, pain relief is not necessary when injecting into the skin to correct lines and wrinkles.

Some people may experience the treatment as a mild discomfort. A local anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area for a more comfortable treatment experience.

The lips are a highly sensitive part of the body and, therefore, anaesthesia is usually recommended before lip enhancement. This is achieved most effectively by using a dental block or local anaesthetic.

Do I need to take a skin test?

No skin test is required as Hyaluronic filler does not contain any animal-derived ingredients.

Do I need to take a skin test?
