Volume & Contour
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used primarily in cosmetic dermatology to:
- Restore lost volume (due to aging or weight loss),
- Smooth wrinkles and fine lines, and
- Enhance facial features, such as lips, cheeks, and jawlines.
How Are They Used?
- Injected beneath the skin in targeted areas.
- Procedure typically takes 15–60 minutes.
- Minimal downtime (some swelling or bruising may occur).
- Effects are often immediate (except with collagen-stimulating fillers).
Why People Get Fillers
- Plump thin lips
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of recessed scars
- Rejuvenate hands or other aging areas
Dermal fillers are a highly purified form of the typically naturally occurring substance hyaluronic acid. These are used to help add volume as well as plumpness to the skin in areas where there is a breakdown of tissue caused by age. They are very effective at helping to smooth the appearance of the deep wrinkles whilst enhancing the fullness of lips.
Dermal Fillers are commonly used for the lips to create the size and shape you desire and restore the lost fullness that depletes with time. The lip border and lines gradually over time becomes thinner and smaller. Injecting small amounts of dermal filler can restore a smooth defined border and a natural youthful look. At Addlestone Therapy the treatment is tailored to suit each individual, from a mild natural touch up to a more glamorous pout.
Botox in conjunction with facial fillers, such as Teoxane or Juvederm, can achieve a more youthful complexion. The combination of both Botox and Dermal Fillers really does help to give your skin a smoother and more youthful looking appearance.
