Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers (also called soft tissue fillers) are a non-surgical injectable treatment used to restore facial volume, create youthful facial contours, add volume to lips, and smooth out and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and folds.
The Hyaluronic Acid found in popular dermal fillers such as Juvederm® and Restylane® is a synthetic compound that acts similarly to the natural substance. It attracts water molecules and therefore acts like a cushion, propping up existing facial structures that have lost volume and elasticity as part of normal aging.
By increasing the skin’s supply of Hyaluronic Acid, dermal fillers revitalize and add volume to the skin, smooth out wrinkles and lines, fill in hollowed out areas, and impart a softer, more youthful appearance.
Reverse the Effects of Aging
1. Loss Of Facial Volume: As we age, the fullness of youth is lost, which is most evident in areas such as the lips, cheeks, and eyelids. By restoring volume, fillers are able to directly improve a gaunt appearance by filling in hollowed or sunken areas.
2. Tissue sagging: As skin ages, it atrophies, which affects the appearance of skin under the eyes, around the lips, the chin, jowls, and the area between the nose and the mouth.
3. Deepening Of Facial Folds And Wrinkles: With age, wrinkles and facial folds become more pronounced. Fillers are able to erase moderate to severe wrinkles, and folds such as:
- Nasolabial Folds (Laugh Lines): Lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
- Marionette Lines: Lines from the lips down to the sides of the chin.
- Lipstick Lines: Lines on the upper lip created when the lip is pouting, such as during lipstick application, cigarette smoking, etc.
- Corners Of The Mouth: Downward pointing lines emanating from the corners of the lips, which give the appearance of a grimace.
4. Fine Lines: Fine facial lines become more problematic with the passage of time – in particular, tiny lines below the eyes, and around the lips.
1. Lip enhancement: Fillers can be used to plump up thin lips, rendering them more voluminous and attractive.
2. Augmenting the cheeks: A gaunt, sunken in look can be improved by the administration of fillers.
3. Narrowing The Appearance Of The Jaw Line: A wide jaw line is not considered to be feminine. Strategic injection of dermal fillers to the Masseter muscle can make the face appear narrower and more attractive.
Testimonials
After over a year of visiting Dr Shah, my confidence in the procedures is constantly growing following the results and being constantly thrilled with the outcome.Reassuring. Super patient with a nervous client. Makes you feel relaxed and informed. Easy to discuss options and ask questions with professionalism and complete honesty.
Amazing clinic with friendly staff! Dr Shah is very kind and helpful. I got IPL laser, which was amazing, and botox and noticed a great change.
I found Dr Shah a few months ago and I am so happy with the results from my treatments. I do not feel nervous at all and the results are always amazing, very natural and never overdone.
Dr Shah is one of the best aestheticians I have been too and I will not be going anywhere else for the foreseeable!
I have been to Dr Shah for the last 6 years and didn’t have chance to write a review and yesterday I went to see him again. He is always very welcoming and asks what I am concerned about. I highly recommend him.
I have had a lot of treatments from him and he makes me look younger than my age . Will be back again for another treatment. My next one is PRP. Looking forward to it.
I can highly recommend the services of Face&Skin. I’ve used them twice now, once for IPL treatment on my cheeks to lessen redness from Rosacea (very successful), and more recently ongoing treatments to deal with melasma/hyperpigmentation (which are amazing).
Dr Shah is one of my GP’s so I was reassured from the start that all treatments were done by fully qualified professionals. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Face&Skin for all your aesthetic treatments, always a great service and good professional advice. My skin has never looked so good!
A professional and efficient service. Made to feel totally comfortable and safe by the team.
The Dr was happy to spend time listening to what was wanted and explaining the outcomes. Would highly recommend Face and skin.
Face & Skin has been a true diamond of a find. Staff make me feel at ease and are very professional.
A special thanks to Dr Shah who has gone out of his way to help with my skin. Love the teoxane products.
