Dermal Fillers

Non-surgical aesthetic treatments have overtaken surgical methods significantly in the past decade, with many people favouring a less invasive means of achieving younger, fresher-looking skin.

A variety of factors can cause fine lines and wrinkles to appear, from smoking and alcohol consumption, to genetics and sun exposure. A versatile treatment, dermal filler can be used to rejuvenate various aspects of the face, lifting, reshaping and smoothing out wrinkles.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are comprised of hyaluronic acid, a substance the body creates on its own. As we grow older (usually around the age of 30), the body’s supply of it diminishes, causing the onset of ageing. This is because it’s the substance responsible for giving our skin volume and a youthful-looking complexion. Dermal fillers can replace hyaluronic acid in targeted areas of the face, making it a natural answer for regenerating a youthful look.

What can I expect from dermal fillers treatment?

Before treatment can proceed, we’ll need to ask you a few medical questions. We also like to know what our patients are hoping for when they have dermal fillers treatment, as it helps us better understand how to meet your needs, create a bespoke plan and adopt a holistic approach to the procedure. The procedure is very straightforward; very small amounts of filler will be administered using a very fine needle. You will feel very little (if any) discomfort.

Here at Hunts Cross Dental Centre, we use the market-leading brand Restylane®, an FDA-approved product that has treated millions of patients worldwide.

Why choose dermal fillers?

Straightforward alternative to surgery: in today’s fast-paced world, patients are looking for a no-fuss way to restore youth and health to their skin. Dermal fillers take less than 30 minutes to administer and don’t require you to take any recovery time out of your busy life.

Predictable results: dermal fillers work to accentuate your beautiful, natural features, whereas in many cases (we’ve all heard the horror stories) surgery can alter your features and leave you with a look that doesn’t suit your wider facial aesthetic.

Feel great in your skin again: feeling great in your skin is incredibly important for your confidence and self-esteem. Dermal fillers can ease you into the years where ageing and lifestyle factors begin to affect your skin and complexion. The increased confidence patients feel can have a positive knock-on effect in other aspects of their lives, such as in the workplace and with your friends and family.
