Dermal filler is a gel made from hyaluronic acid – a naturally occurring sugar that we all have. To resolve nuisance wrinkles, it’s injected beneath the surface to plump up surrounding tissue.

You can expect your procedure to last around 45 minutes depending on the amount of correction required. Your treatment session with include a consultation to ensure the medical practitioners fully understand what you’re looking to achieve.

The lines and wrinkles that form from the corners of your nose down towards the corners of your mouth can often be caused by your cheeks starting to lose volume and sag down thus causing the depressions and creases which become so noticeable to us. Cheek enhancement is therefore a great treatment to consider in combination with treating your nose-to-mouth lines. This is because you’re truly addressing the cause of your nose-to-mouth lines and not just the symptom, which is the lines themselves.

Our Clinicians will always provide a consultation before treating you, but – like with all of our dermal filler treatments – you can usually have the treatment during the same appointment. Consultations are absolutely important to our medical practitioners understanding exactly what you want to achieve with the lines and wrinkles in your nose-to-mouth area.

The brilliant thing about dermal filler treatments is that the results are immediate. It’s important to note though that your skin will settle over the following few days – you’ll then see the finished result in it’s entirely!

The products we use have built-in anaesthetic called lidocaine which helps with minimising discomfort during the procedure. In addition, we apply an anaesthetic cream to help make your treatment as comfortable as possible. As with any medical procedures, a small amount of discomfort can be felt but our medical practitioners are all sympathetic to go at a pace your happy with and understand your concerns so that most customers feel very little at all.

Yes. Only 1 in 20,000 treatments result in an allergic reaction. Although dermal fillers can be reversed using another injection (hyalase), this requirement is extremely rare but you can be assured that our medical practitioners are all fully trained should this be required or requested.

A dermal filler procedure is typically straightforward and needs no recovery time, so you can immediately crack on with your day. Customers should avoid excessive alcohol, exercise or the heat of the sun for the first 24-48 hours.

The gel is broken down naturally and reabsorbed by the skin. This means that over time your results will slowly fade and you’ll require additional treatment to stay loving your look.

Most possible side effects are related to the action of injecting the skin, not the product itself. These include: redness, minor swelling, itching, tenderness around injection site and potential lumps in the treated area. These can be reduced by massage.

The medical practitioners all highly trained in how to deal with side effects to ensure you get the best from your treatment.
