What is the Treatment?

Dermal fillers are an injectable treatment made up of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). A water loving molecule that absorbs up to 400 x its weight in water. Therefore upon injection, it fills up with water like a sponge, enabling a reduction in the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles and of course, the plumping of lips!

How Does It Work?

Dermal fillers are an injectable treatment made up of Hyaluronic Acid. A water loving molecule that absorbs up to 400 x its weight in water. Therefore upon injection, it fills up with water like a sponge, enabling a reduction in the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles and of course, the plumping of lips!

As we age, the natural collagen and elastin in the skin lessens, as cells lose their ability to produce more of their youthful component. The skin becomes dryer, thinner and less able to fix itself. When we are born, we have plentiful amounts of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in our body, but as we get older this store of HA diminishes, leaving the skin less supported, and so lines and wrinkles develop over time. By lifting and smoothing targeted folds and wrinkles by adding subtle volume, dermal fillers can make a difference to a person’s appearance, restoring your youthful definition and rejuvenating your appearance.

If you are concerned about swelling or bruising, it is advisable to take Arnica 2-3 days prior to appointment

Down Time

Generally swelling and bruising after a filler treatment only lasts a couple of days. But everyone is different so please allow up to 14 days for swelling or bruising to go down. If you have any concerns after 14 days. Please get in touch.

Aftercare Advice

The lips will swell after the procedure. The upper lip will usually swell more than the lower lip. Sometimes one side more than the other other, so don’t be alarmed. The swelling is most noticeable for the first 24-72 hrs then gradually subsides.

The majority of the swelling will be gone by day 3, but please allow up to 14 days for full swelling and bruising to go down.

Aftercare tips include:

• Use ice on the lips to help reduce swelling, especially in the first 12 hrs after the procedure.

• Avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours.

• Avoid wearing makeup for 4 hours after procedure.

• Avoid Alcohol
