What are Dermal Fillers?Cosmetic dermal fillers work by lifting and restoring the skins natural volume and elasticity giving you a more youthful appearance. Cosmetic injections with dermal fillers are used to plump up wrinkled skin, fill deep lines, and replace volume in cheeks and other areas of the face. They are also used to add volume to lips, define lip line, lifting creased skin around the mouth, filling smokers lines and plumping out eye hollows.Dermal fillers can also be used to fill out nasal bridges, chins, and cheeks. As we age and the effects of gravity become apparent we gradually lose facial volume. Injection of a specially designed dermal filler gel can provide the support and structure needed to add volume and restore the youthful contours of the face that have been lost over time. Instant, natural looking and long lasting results for volume loss can be obtained with a simple and safe non-surgical procedure for the fraction of the price of a face lift.Treatment for volume restoration is a procedure that is administered by our Doctor through a number of injections.

One of the main changes we notice with age is the loss of volume, particularly in the cheeks and lips. This is where dermal fillers are extremely effective. They are also very effective in plumping out larger, more established wrinkles such as those that extend from the nose to the lip (the nasolabial folds). LipsSoft fillers can be used to enhance the body and the boarders of the lips, giving back a natural-looking youthfulness. These fillers are usually made from a naturally occurring complex sugars, and can be used to create volume and decrease the lines that form around the lips that cause lipstick to bleed. Wrinkles and FoldsDermal fillers can be placed below the skins surface to literally ‘fill in’ or ‘plump up’ the wrinkles and folds that remain when our face is at rest. They can also be used to enhance and restore volume in areas such as the mid face and the cheekbone area, and to provide a more youthful conture to the lower face and jaw line. Prior to your treatment you will need to have a consultation with one of our medical practitioners to ascertain your suitability for treatment. A treatment involves a series of injections depending on the area being treated. In some instances, a numbing cream or topical analgesia will be used to help to numb the area. The procedure takes between 15-30mins, and the results are instant. There may be some minor swelling and mild bruising after the procedure and clients often have anto accelerate the healing of this. The longevity of the results is dependent on a multitude of factors, including the patient, the location of the injection, and the particular product used. Generally results last from 6 months in areas such as the lips,  up to 12 months in areas such as the nasolabial folds. Subsequent treatments will almost always have a longer duration of effect.

Starting with facial flushing, rosacea usually progresses to persistent redness, thickening of the skin, visible capillaries and then to painful inflammation and raised red bumps. It is embarrassing and very difficult to hide. Any of the following warning signs is a signal to seek help before the condition becomes increasingly severe: Redness on the cheeks, nose, chin, or foreheadSmall visible blood vessels on the faceBumps or pimples on the faceWatery or irritated eyes.If you think you have rosacea, then be proactive and get help. The condition gets progressively worse and with no cure available, effective management is essential. Seek advice on choosing the most appropriate skincare for your rosacea. Get your skincare wrong and you will make the condition worse, but get it right and you can control it. The good news is there are fantastic treatments available for rapid improvement in redness and dilated capillaries. Lasers and Intense Pulsed Light therapies work by heating up and collapsing the vessels down. Although most clients see a significant improvement in their symptoms following one session, several sessions are usually needed to complete the treatment and maintenance may be required. Quite often, we see clients who have left their condition too long before seeking treatment and it is difficult to gain control. Left untreated, rosacea can severely damage the skin, leading to dilation of facial capillaries, extreme sensitivity, and thickening of the skin causing a condition called rhinophyma (enlargement of the nose). If you suspect you may have rosacea then I urge you to seek advice from a skin specialist. Rosacea may not be curable, but it is controllable and with the right advice, you can learn to live with it.
