DERMAL FILLERS

Dermal fillers can be temporary or permanent, however due to the huge side effects that can result from their use, I do not use permanent fillers in my practice. If permanence is what is desired, then the person’s own fat or dermis fat is ideal, and is the safest way to achieve the desired results.

Temporary dermal fillers are an excellent and safe procedure in my experienced hands.

Over the last 18 years in my practice, I have used temporary dermal fillers for my patients and my appreciation of their effectiveness has continued to grow. There are two main companies that produce the temporary fillers, and whilst I use both of these products, I have grown to like one range more than the other, over recent years.

There are numerous dermal filler products on the market, which have different physical characteristics. For example, a dermal filler can be chosen to give more subtleness or more lift, depending on the areas to be filled.

As with any anti-wrinkle treatment, the effects of these fillers are very dependent on the practitioner and as such, I inject all my own temporary fillers and the results are convincingly natural. It is important that the practitioner has an aesthetic eye, as well as being mindful of not over injecting certain areas.

Unfortunately, an area which is often overfilled by a lot of practitioners is the nasojugal fold or the indentation below the bags over the medial and lower eyelid. This is another excellent area for augmentation, so injections in this area need to be performed with expertise and with finesse.

The complications of dermal fillers are very rare, the main one being an embolic phenomenon when injecting into an artery. This problem however, is greatly reduced with the application of dermal fillers by an experienced surgical specialist.

You will be happy to know that one of the great benefits of temporary dermal fillers (composed of hyaluronic acids), is that if any problems do occur, the filler can be dissolved away by a simple injection.

A few final words

Cosmetic, non-surgical rejuvenative procedures that are effective and give excellent outcomes are the way of the future. There are many products available, but I have used my expertise to collect the best and most effective of these products, and to make them available to my patients.

So in conclusion, if you are searching for a non-invasive rejuvenative solution, then you can do no better than leveraging my years of experience and taking advantage of my selection of non-surgical anti-aging treatments.
