Dermal Fillers

We only use the safest, most effective FDA-approved, naturally biodegradable dermal fillers at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic. These are clear hyaluronic acid gels which closely mimic the natural hyaluronic acid in our skin. They are injected just beneath the surface of the skin and are one of the most popular treatments for filling and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid volumises, softens and hydrates the skin. It also aids collagen and elastin organisation underneath the skin which gives the skin a more youthful texture.

Dermal fillers are not permanent and will break down over time, so further treatment may be required to maintain your natural, understated appearance. Your medical practitioner will give you all the advice you need.

All the dermal fillers used at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic are made from hyaluronic acid, a natural component of our body and skin, which breaks down after around 9 to 18 months.

Dependant on the treatment area, most patients typically start with a range of 0.5ml to 1ml filler to achieve a subtle, natural result with noticeable volume and definition enhancement. If you’re seeking a significant volume increase, we suggest a gradual approach through multiple treatments rather than an immediate injection of 2ml dermal filler. Our practitioners will provide you with all the guidance you need at your consultation.

Dermal fillers can be used in the tear trough (under eye) area to reduce hollowing and dark circles under the eyes, resulting in a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Wrinkles around the eyes can be effectively treated using a combination of dermal fillers, muscle relaxants and Ultherapy.

Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane restore lost volume to areas of the face by filling out fine lines and wrinkles. There is no evidence that these treatments make wrinkles worse; in fact, evidence suggests they can have a lasting effect on wrinkle reduction as the dermal fillers today are clear hyaluronic gels which closely mimic the natural hyaluronic acid in our skin.

This depends on the type of needle used and experience of the injector. We recommend always picking an injector that is highly experienced in dermal fillers. Many injectors depending on the area will choose to use a blunt-tip cannula to minimise and add further safety to avoid breaking any blood vessels in the treatment area. To be clear, experienced practitioners will know how to avoid all blood vessels and therefore also minimise chance of bruising. Your practitioner can explain further at your consultation.

Yes, the injectable treatment Hyaluronidase or Hyalase can be used to remove dermal fillers. It is injected into the dermal filler-treated area. As with hyaluronic acid, hyalase is naturally present in the body.

Injectable dermal fillers can migrate from their injection sites to another area. The migration of fillers is extremely rare, and it can be prevented by choosing a qualified injector.

Juvederm Voluma is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler (a substance that occurs naturally within the body). It has been specifically developed to instantly add volume to the cheek area, giving your skin a firm youthful appearance. Its effects can last up to 18 months.

Millions of dermal filler treatments have been performed worldwide and are extremely safe and effective when injected properly, resulting in the most natural of differences.

Dr Tracy Mountford, owner of The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, is renowned for her light hands and natural looking results. She personally handpicks and trains all of our medical practitioners to the highest level.

We will explain everything in detail and make you feel at ease and relaxed on the day of your treatment, knowing you’re in safe, expert and medically qualified hands.

Treatment usually takes approximately 30 minutes. There is little or no downtime and you can resume normal activities right away.

There is no need for allergy testing because the fillers contain hyaluronic acid which naturally occurs in your skin anyway and is used in other medical treatments. If there is a little swelling, you can easily camouflage it with makeup.

At The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, we offer a number of Dermal Filler treatments, including Cheek Filler, Jaw Filler, Lip Filler, Under Eyes (Tear Trough), Chin Augmentation, Neck and Hand Rejuvenation. The pricing will vary depending on the number of areas being treated and amount of Dermal Filler used.

Hyaluronic acid facial filler is a replica of the natural hyaluronic acid stores that our bodies produce. Our skin naturally creates hyaluronic acid; a substance responsible for delivering and maintaining moisture and nutrient levels in skin cells. With time, your skin’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid decreases. When dermal fillers are injected into fine lines, wrinkles or sunken areas of the face, they replenish the hyaluronic acid that has been absorbed into your body. This creates a more refreshed, natural and rejuvenated appearance.

In addition to their effectiveness in smoothing out wrinkles and rejuvenating facial features, HA fillers also have the following benefits:

• Biocompatible and safe
• Allergic reactions are unlikely
• Can be easily removed if necessary
• Minimal patient discomfort and downtime
• Adverse reactions are uncommon
• Results are long-lasting, but not permanent

At The Cosmetic Skin Clinic, we only use FDA-approved fillers that have been verified for their safety and efficacy. We use Juvéderm’s®  famed range of fillers, including Juvéderm Hydrate, Volux, Volite and Teosyal. We also offer Restylane’s leading range of fillers, including Restylane lip fillers and Restylane Skin Boosters. Our trained clinicians will discuss your treatment goals and offer up the best type of filler to suit your own unique needs. 

We treat patients of all ages for dermal fillers. Some are in their 50s, 60s and older, who are concerned about looking the best they can at any age. However, dermal fillers are equally as popular with people in their 30s and 40s who are just starting to lose that initial glow of youth and the first lines starting to appear.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be used for volume restoration and contouring facial features. Hyaluronic acid volumisers can be injected into different layers of your skin to correct both volume loss and structural defects. 

It is not simply the addition of volume, but correct placement of the volumiser will create excellent results in restoring a natural youthful appearance. 

What’s more, new Hyaluronic Acid gels with optimised properties are now available that respect our facial movements such as RHA4 Teosyal.

Nasolabial folds are sometimes referred to as smile or laugh lines. These lines typically curve down from the side of our nose to the corners of our mouth.

As we age, and our facial structures begin to sag, these dynamic lines become more prominent looking on our face: they become more noticeable as the skin hangs down, giving us a “defeated” look.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are the best treatment option to plump up the skin under nasolabial folds. They restore the lost volume and soften the appearance of creases, providing noticeable and natural looking results.

Marionette lines are the lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin. The problem with marionette lines is that they tend to show emotion, even if we are not trying to express anything, leading others to believe that we’re sad, angry or disappointed.

There are a few options for softening the appearance of marionette lines. Filling these lines with HA dermal fillers is easy, highly accessible and actually the most popular. By using dermal fillers to replace the lost volume in our skin, it is possible to dramatically reduce and smooth the appearance of marionette lines. Our face will quickly look happier and younger. 

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers work immediately by adding volume to smooth away marionette lines.

The results usually last more than 12 months. Nevertheless, the average duration of treatment depends on several factors: our skin type, the severity of the wrinkle/fold to be corrected, the type of injection and the volume of product injected.

Hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal filler anti-wrinkle treatments are:

• Minimally invasive
• Non-surgical
• Non-permanent

When HA is injected, it acts like an inflated cushion to support your facial structures and tissues that may have lost volume or elasticity due to normal ageing. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are applied to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, restore volumes and contours and create a balanced, natural look.

In some cases, best results can be achieved through a combination treatment. For instance, dermal fillers can add lift and re-contour the face, while muscle relaxants can also be used to help smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Ultherapy, a collagen stimulating technology can then be used to underpin. This boosts the skin’s laxity by lifting and tightening the skin.

Dermal fillers are not permanent. They will break down over time. Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers normally break down after around 9 to 18 months. Which is why our practitioners will assess your concerns and create a follow up appointment to make your results last.
