Dermal Fillers

Overview

Fine lines, wrinkles and skin folds can now be successfully improved with Restylane or Juvéderm, giving immediate results.

Whether you're looking for defined facial contours, fuller lips or softened facial lines, these dermal fillers bring out the best in you — instantly and naturally.

Because they degrade slowly over time, you have the freedom to do what you want, when you want. You are always in control of your looks.

Natural on the inside

Restylane is a crystal-clear gel form of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid holds water, hydrating and giving volume to the skin. As we get older the production of our natural hyaluronic acid diminishes. A simple injection of Restylane replenishes the lost volume and improves your looks by enhancing your facial profile, creating fuller lips, and smoothing out lines and wrinkles.

Natural on the outside

In less time than a lunch break, you can have a Restylane treatment and then get on with your usual life. There's no need for any pre-testing and you'll see the result instantly. The effect will typically last 6 months to over a year. The length of time Restylane lasts is specific to each individual and the area treated.

An instant beauty lift

Restylane is the ideal treatment for instantly enhancing your looks in a completely natural way. Restylane works from the inside by adding volume. Restylane is not a beauty cream and it is not surgery — it is an instant beauty lift to enhance your looks naturally.

Restylane has been used safely in over 2 million treatments so you can be reassured that it has a proven safety track record.

Dermal Fillers FAQ

What is Restylane?

Restylane is hyaluronic acid in the form of a stabilised crystal gel, formulated to be injected into the skin to lift up the tissue in a line, wrinkle or fold. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body. As we age its volume is depleted in the skin, leaving wrinkles and other signs of aging. As it is not extracted from animals, it is not necessary to perform pre-testing.

What is Juvéderm?

Juvéderm is a new generation of dermal fillers: a natural biodegradable gel that flows easily into your skin, instantly filling out troublesome lines and leaving a smooth and natural look and feel.

How do fillers work?

Once injected under the wrinkle or fold, the filler gently lifts the tissue, reducing its appearance. Used in the lips it gives volume and definition.

How long do the effects last?

It depends on the individual. As fillers are natural products, they will slowly be broken down naturally by the body. The majority of patients treated with Restylane have been shown to have 50% – 80% of the effect remaining after 6 months.

Are there any side-effects?

As with any treatment that requires injection, there may be some passing discomfort and patients may experience some redness or swelling immediately after the treatment. There may also be some localised tenderness. This is normal and will generally disappear in a day or two. Some people may experience a little bruising. Again, this will be temporary and can be covered with a light camouflage make-up.

Other types of reaction are uncommon, but about 1 in 2,000 persons have experienced transient swelling, redness and tenderness at or near the treatment site up to several weeks after treatment.
