Dermal Fillers

 

Dermal fillers are the natural, safe and instant way to replace facial volume loss and soften lines and wrinkles.

 

Scar reduction – Dermal fillers consisting of hyaluronic acid are also used in scar reduction.

 

Skin rejuvenation – Dermal fillers are also used for general skin rejuvenation [meso therapy/vital]

 

As an advanced practitioner Leona uses a wide range of hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane, Juvaderm Ultra, Teosyal and Belotero. Hyaluronic acid fillers are by far the most popular and widely used fillers on the market.

As an alternative to the hyaluronic acid fillers, Leona offers treatments using Radiesse a product which also gives an immediate correction and stimulates natural collagen.

Areas which can be smoothed, plumped and rejuvenated with dermal fillers:

​

• Lines and wrinkles

• Lip enhancement

• Fine lines around the mouth

• Cheek enhancements

• Hollow eyes/tear trough

• Nose re-shaping

• Strengthening of weak chin or jaw line

• Replacing mid face volume (mid face lift)

 

How do Dermal Fillers work?

 

Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in our bodies and gives skin its elasticity and hydration. These are the properties that keep our skin looking youthful. As we age, these qualities naturally deteriorate, leaving us with lines, wrinkles, sunken cheeks and saggy skin.

 

Hyaluronic acid is used to smooth wrinkles and replace volume loss, giving an instant rejuvenating effect. Following treatment, the area continues to improve on a more fundamental level. More collagen growth is encouraged, and water is attracted to the area, keeping skin plump and hydrated.
What does treatment with dermal filler involve?

 

During treatment, a gel consisting of hyaluronic acid is injected with a very fine needle. The treatment will take around 20 minutes. Prior to treatment an anaesthetic cream is applied to numb the area; you should experience minimal discomfort during treatment, with only transient redness, swelling or tenderness for 2-5 days after. The effects of the filler will be immediate and will last from 9-12 months.
