Dermal fillers consist of a gel-like substance. There are different types of gel; the most common gel used in modern aesthetic treatments is primarily constructed using Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar contained in our skin and connective tissues. Its primary function is to maintain moisture and keep our tissues hydrated. Part of the ageing process will involve reduction of moisture in our skin. With its unique properties, allowing it to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, Hyaluronic acid is a wonderful anti-ageing ingredient, hydrating the surrounding treated area. As it is already contained within us, our body recognises this material as safe, and so reactions to it are extremely rare. HA is tolerated well within the skin. It is more common to have a reaction to other substances such as cleaning products used and anaesthetics contained within products. At Dr Olivia Clinics only the safest products and practices are used, and we are fully equipped to treat any adverse effects. The products we use can be fully dissolved should any unwanted outcomes occur.

Lip fillers are arguably one of the most popular facial aesthetic treatments today and are heavily endorsed by celebrities and influencers. There are many reasons why someone may be unhappy with the size and shape of their lips. Ageing can cause the lips to appear thinner and less defined. For others, their lips may be naturally narrow with a less prominent cupid’s bow. At Dr Olivia Clinics, our lip filler treatments have been developed to specifically enhance the natural pattern of your lips, helping you achieve more defined, beautifully shaped, bigger lips. Our semi-permanent fillers are a man made, non-animal gel that mimics the body’s natural hyaluronic acid, providing you with a safe, long-lasting and natural looking result.
