Available at the superb Elena Prousskaia Clinic in Bristol from one of the best female cosmetic surgeons in the UK, Dermal fillers are a highly effective and affordable non-surgical injectable that can make anyone look refreshed, more youthful and re-energised.
The fillers are often the best option for anyone who wants an enhanced appearance but does not want a more invasive full cosmetic procedure.
Essentially, dermal fillers provide the best of both worlds – that youthful lift in appearance but without the need for surgery or a payment stretching to thousands of pounds.
In Bristol, there are many clinics and beauticians who offer this treatment so why consider Elena Prousskaia?
With Elena, you receive a level of expertise that is unsurpassed, Elena is a word-renowned cosmetic surgeon who has held numerous Fellowships around the world, including at London’s Guys and St Thomas. She carries this level of training, precision and skill into her work with injectables.
This greater knowledge of facial anatomy enables Elena to introduce the fillers to multiply layers and produce truly transformative results.
You don’t have to be a leading cosmetic surgeon to be able to work with injectables and apply a dermal filler, but why allow someone with few qualifications and limited, if any, training to inject Hyaluronic Acid into your face?
Dermal fillers can be used to enhance numerous parts of the face, these including the lips, cheekbones, nose and across the forehead.
The skin can also look rejuvenated and that bit more youthful, creating an overall appearance of well being.
Dermal fillers in Bristol are used to promote anti-ageing, for the treatment of lines and wrinkles, for improving the nose to mouth region and reducing mouth lines.
Because they work by stimulating collagen generation they are not permanent but results can last for up to 18 months – this will vary by type of filler, area of the face and quantity of filler.
To maintain results, the patient would have further treatments.
The treatment can have the following advantages.
Popular areas for filling lines and creases include:
Any area that has lost volume and plumpness is a candidate for the procedure, the filler acting to stimulate the lost collagen.
The dermal fillers are small injections of gel, typically containing hyaluronic acid, that act to fill in wrinkles and add volume to soft tissue in the face.
They work to counteract the effects of ageing and specifically the fact that from our mid 20s we stop producing collagen and elastin to the same levels. This effect continues until the point whereby we stop producing these altogether.
The process is therefore to inject the dermal filler into the face to counteract the loss of these naturally occurring substances; the skill lies in how much to inject and where, while the quality of the fillers used must also be considered.
Results can last for a lengthy period – typically in the range of six to 18 months, nine months to one year being very typical – a more detailed estimate being given based on the exact nature of the procedure.
The injections are performed as an out-patients procedure and there is no need for an overnight stay.
One of the benefits of entrusting someone as skilled as Elena with injecting the filler is that you have the cosmetic surgeon’s understanding of how to achieve best results. Results have to be visible, they have to make a difference, but they also have to be natural looking.
The person who receives dermal fillers should look that bit younger, rejuvenated and energised, but they should still be themselves. There should not be that very visible look of ‘work having been done’.
One huge advantage of these treatments and this form dermal fillers is that it is possible to have a procedure and then go about the rest of your day as usual.
There is no need for time off work for instance, nor to avoid exercise or driving.
Some swelling, redness and tenderness are quite common after a treatment of dermal fillers but these typically pass inside 48 hours.
The injections can also hurt a little, though this is mild discomfort at worst. They are administered with a mild anaesthetic to numb the local area.
The consultation is as important as the injections themselves.
At a detailed consultation, the practitioner can discuss the achievable outcomes with the prospective patient. This ensures that results match expectations while also helping to determine the best course of action is selected.
You can outline which bits of your face you are seeking to have boosted while a practitioner, if experienced enough, can decide how this can be achieved; the amount to be injected and where and how to layer these injections so that they work with the natural facial aesthetics.
A consultation also allows anyone to give due consideration to whether this treatment and fillers are truly for them, they can go away and make a final decision free of any pressure.
The cost of fillers will be broadly similar across all qualified, experienced practitioners – please be wary of any fillers that seem far cheaper as these are liable to be low-quality products.
The cost varies by the nature of treatment and amount of filler – however a detailed quote would be provided by Elena at the consultation.
Across Bristol, there are dozens of dermal filler clinics, individuals and beauticians who offer dermal fillers and similar treatments as a service.
This proliferation is largely because, surprisingly, almost anyone can administer a dermal filler, unlike in other country where it is necessary to be more highly qualified.
Whoever you choose, please ensure they have a proven reputation, use the highest quality fillers and have a level of experience you would expect of someone who is going to be administering injections.

With a population of 434,000 as of the 2011 Census, Bristol is a city in the south west of England
Bristol and the surrounding area is seen as one of the most desirable areas of the UK in which to live – it was selected in 2009 as one of the world’s top 10 cities by international travel publishers Dorling Kindersley and it was named the best city in Britain to live in by the Sunday Times in every year from 20414 to 2017. The city also won the prestigious EU European Green Capital Award in 2015.
Formerly a key trading hub, Bristol is now at the forefront of many newer industries and technologies, these including aerospace, defence, media, information technology, financial services and tourism industries. The city also has clinics and surgeries for many of the UK’s leading surgeons, becoming a centre every bit as in-demand as London’s Harley Street.

Elena Prousskaia is very proud to be partnering with some of the most experienced and renowned aesthetic practitioners in their field.
Our aesthetic practitioners will give the optimum advice on your procedure ensuring the best possible outcomes and safety for each patient.
Unlike a full cosmetic procedure, there is no downtime post procedure, no need to have time off work or cancel activities.
There may be some pain and swelling, but this is likely to be minimal and will typically pass inside 48 hours. The injections themselves cause only mild pain at worst as a mild anaesthetic is used to numb the local area.
The broad range is between six and 18 months – this because it varies by amount of filler used, the type of filler, the area of the face and the nature of the change they have generated, for instance smoothing fine lines or helping to re-shape the jawline.
An experienced practitioner will be able to give a far more specific estimate as to how long results will last in each area.
You can see the impact of the fillers straightaway, but it may be that swelling has to subside for full results to be seen.
Yes and no. This depends on the person administering the filler. An experienced practitioner with solid medical training can certainly predict the results the fillers will create, but this may not be the case for someone who is inexperienced and using fillers to generate a little extra income.
The nature of the fillers will also play a role. It is worth noting that modern fillers can be flushed out with an enzyme, this immediately negating their impact.
The cost includes the hospital, surgeon and anaesthetic fees. It also covers all post-operative visits. The initial consultation fee will be invoiced separately. The prices apply only at the time of publication and are subject to changes without notification.
