Dermal fillers are a popular tried and tested anti-ageing treatment that our patients love. They provide instantaneous results that improve over time, adding volume, smoothing out wrinkles and tightening loose and sagging skin.
At Dr. Linea Medical in Ipswich we have years of experience in administering dermal filler to patients, enhancing and rejuvenating our patients looks.
Whether you’re wanting fuller lips or to plump up areas of the face where you have lost volume, dermal fillers offer a bespoke solution. In this article we will explain what dermal fillers are, and how they can be utilised to treat the ageing face.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture in the skin. As we get older our bodies make less hyaluronic acid and our reserves of hyaluronic acid start to diminish. A reduction in hyaluronic acid in the facial tissues will lead to lines and wrinkles, less volume and loose skin. Dermal fillers allow us to inject hyaluronic acid back into the skin, plumping and smoothing out the look of lines and wrinkles.
Fillers offer non-invasive and effective anti-ageing results that can enhance a patient’s looks and be customised to each patient’s individual needs. They can be used to target individual areas of the face like the lips, chin, jaw or cheeks, or they can be used for a full face rejuvenation, where we inject many different areas in one appointment to give the effect of a non surgical facelift.
Skin Boosters
Hyaluronic acid is also used in skin booster products such as Profhilo. Skin boosters are a form of hyaluronic acid that improve the look and feel of the skin. They are different to dermal fillers as they don’t add volume, but they work at a superficial level of the skin to improve skin tone and texture. Skin boosters can be used in isolation or in conjunction with dermal fillers depending on what patients are trying to achieve. They are good for treating crepey skin and fine lines and they can also help improve skin laxity, elasticity and hydration levels.
Dermal filler treatment plans
At Dr Linea Medical our approach to dermal fillers is grounded in the belief that treatments should enhance, not overshadow, your natural features. Our ethos is around providing natural looking results in a safe CQC registered medical environment.
- Bespoke Treatment Plans: We always take into account your facial anatomy, skin quality, and personal aspirations to create a tailored treatment plan.
- Advanced Techniques: We inject dermal fillers with cannulas which is an advanced technique. This not only ensures a more comfortable experience for our patients but it is also safer and reduces the chances of bruising or swelling.
- High quality products: Only the highest quality, clinically approved dermal fillers are selected to ensure your safety and the best possible outcomes.
- CQC Registered – Our CQC registration demonstrates our commitment to providing a safe and high quality environment for patients.
What is a dermal filler appointment like?
An appointment for dermal fillers at Dr Linea Medical will begin with a detailed consultation before we begin the treatment:
- Consultation: We take a full medical history and discuss with you your desired outcome for dermal filler treatment
- Pictures: We take pictures of before and after the treatment as a visual record for patients.
- The Treatment: Treatment will be administered in our safe, medical aesthetic environment. We use a topical anaesthetic to numb the area before injecting and we always make sure that patients are comfortable throughout their procedure by making the treatment as pain free as possible.
- Aftercare: After your treatment we offer advice and guidance on dermal filler after care so that patients get longevity from the results.
How long do dermal fillers last?
The duration of your dermal fillers’ effects can vary based on the type of filler used, the area that has been treated, and your body’s own metabolic rate.
As a rule of thumb hyaluronic acid filler can last anywhere from between 6 to 24 months, depending on which dermal filler has been used and where it has been placed.
The results from skin boosters will have a better longevity if you have the recommended course of treatment. After a course you can expect to see results that last up to one year.
What are the benefits of dermal filler treatment?
Dermal fillers offer immediate aesthetic benefits and can also help patients to improve their wellbeing and self perception. Patients often report having a more positive outlook and more self confidence after treatment.
