Give wrinkles, frown lines and the whole gang something to think about

If you want to slow the signs of premature ageing without resorting to risky and expensive cosmetic surgery, then dermal fillers could be the option you have been searching for.

How do they work?

Dermal fillers hide wrinkles on your face, and can be set to work in particular areas such as around the eyes, mouth, nose, or forehead. They can also work as a non-cosmetic alternative to collagen, giving your lips a fuller look. You can even create facial contours which you didn’t possess before, such as dimples. All these effects are created using hyaluronic acid, a substance which is found naturally in our body tissue. The dermal filler is injected into the skin to give it a firmer feel and smooth out the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

How long will it last?

One possible draw-back of the treatment is that the results of dermal fillers can be relatively short-term. In fact, the duration of results is hard to determine with guidelines of three to twelve months often stated. This vague time-period highlights the unpredictability of the treatment.

Any risks?

Injecting dermal fillers is a quick and relatively painless procedure. The operation itself lasts less than half an hour and the effects are immediate; the pain is no greater than that of a blood test. There are, however, possible short-term side effects which include swelling, redness, and itching. This should reduce within a few days, but can last longer, leaving uneven results and discomfort until side effects dissipate.

Restylane

Restylane products are among the leading dermal fillers on the market. Specialising in lip augmentation, Restylane were founders of this treatment and were the first to be officially approved in the U.S.

Dermal fillers are becoming an increasingly viable alternative for those who wish to slow the ageing process without resorting to cosmetic surgery. If this sounds like the best option for you then consultations can easily be arranged online.
