Our team at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic cannot reverse the years, but we can help you to reduce the signs of ageing so that you are more comfortable with your fresher-looking appearance.
By opting for dermal fillers in Buckinghamshire, you can soften wrinkles and also add volume and firmness to your face and lips.
How will dermal fillers in Buckinghamshire restore my features exactly?
In the past, injectables like dermal fillers were typically referred to as ‘wrinkle fillers’. However, in this day and age, dermal fillers in Buckinghamshire do so much more.
Whether your face has become etched with fine lines, has lost its elasticity, dermal fillers in Buckinghamshire can help to revive and rejuvenate your skin with results that are natural and subtle.
Dermal fillers in Buckinghamshire do not target the face alone, but also target other areas of the body, such as the neck, jaw and decolletage.
What substances are in dermal fillers?
The dermal fillers we use are FDA-approved and safe to use because the substance we inject into the skin, hyaluronic acid, is naturally produced by the body.
Why do we need hyaluronic acid? It keeps our skin hydrated and supple. While the substance is produced in generous supply when we are younger, this supply is significantly reduced the older we get. Signs of ageing begin to show when this starts happening.
When we inject specific areas of your face with dermal fillers, what we are doing is replenishing the diminished hyaluronic acid for healthy and younger-looking skin.
Are the results permanent?
Dermal fillers are long-lasting, but you will have to undergo touch-ups six to nine months after your initial appointment if you want your skin to continue looking refreshed and revived.
We often recommend that our patients combine multiple treatments, as doing so is entirely safe, minimally invasive and optimises results. Procedures that are generally performed in conjunction with dermal fillers include Ultherapy, which is best described as a non-surgical facelift that relies on ultrasound technology to achieve desired effects.
I’m interested – how do we start the process?
The first step is meeting with one of our experienced team members to discuss your treatment and the possibility of having dermal fillers.
This stage of the treatment is vital because it provides you with the opportunity to outline areas you want to target. At the same time, we can discuss the details of the procedure with you, ensuring that you are fully informed.
Will I experience pain during or after the procedure?
The procedure is quick, so any discomfort you may experience will be short-lived. Following your injection, side effects may occur, which are only temporary. You can apply makeup if you wish to after treatment.
However, please note that the results, side effects and experience of the procedure vary among patients.
At what age should I consider dermal fillers?
Individuals of all ages come to us wanting to nip the signs of ageing in the bud. We see patients in their early 30s and 40s who are beginning to lose their youthful glow, as well as people in their 50s, 60s and even older wanting to have a fresher-looking face.
