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 – A Wide Range Of Uses For The 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.
The treatment can have the following advantages.
Popular areas for filling lines and creases include:
- Laughter lines (nasolabial furrows)
- Tear-trough lines (under-eye furrows)
- Lip or lip-border enhancement
- Cheek enhancement
- Chin or jaw line enhancement
- Raising mouth corners
Any area that has lost volume and plumpness is a candidate for the procedure, the filler acting to stimulate the lost collagen.
How Dermal Fillers Work And Details About The Procedure
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.
Results That Are Beneficial But Natural
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’.
Side Effects of Dermal Fillers
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 Importance Of A Consultation
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.
Cost Of Dermal Fillers
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.
Bristol Practitioners For Dermal Fillers
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.
