DERMAL FILLERS
Fillers are an ideal treatment for frown lines, brow lines, crow's-feet, smile lines at the side of the mouth and the small vertical lines on the upper lip (smoker's lines). More recently creating a more beautiful oval face shape is achieved by dermal fillers. This is replacement of facial volume mostly fat which is lost with age, often called the "Gel Face Lift" or "the liquid face lift" - thicker longer-lasting injectable dermal implants are used around the cheek bone and mid cheek areas for enhancement.
Nose re-shaping, non-surgical rhinoplasty and asian rhinoplasty, are also achieved with dermal fillers with spectacular results often surpassing results that can be achieved with surgery.
Fillers are also been used in boosting lip areas where shape and definition have become less defined.
Lip wrinkles - Give your lips a beautiful shiny full look. The fashion has gone from putting a simple edge on the lip to using new products such as Restyland Vital to hydrate and pump the body of the lip giving you a youthful full lip but natural-looking lips!
"Lip enhancement is an ideal treatment for women in the forties and fifties as it restores a shapelier contour to lip lines as well as preventing lipstick bleeding. Older lips can be left looking more youthful but not too big. Younger women achieve a more sensuous look with fillers such as the Paris Lip, currently very popular." The end result is often so subtle that no-one but you would notice the enhancement.
Treatment is effected under local anesthesia by a series of placements under the lines using a very fine needle. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes and recuperation time is minimal. Most clients will return to their usual activities on the day of treatment without notice from friends or family. The freshening effect of softening noticable facial lines gives an amazing face lift without surgery.
Collagen has been until recently the most widely used material as a dermal filler, it is a natural protein that supports the skin making it strong and resilient. All clients are given test doses prior to treatment to rule out the tiny risk of an allergy reaction to the collagen. If no reaction occurs treatment is begun one month later, the implanted collagen is gradually absorbed but the effects of the treatment last from 4-12 months. More recently the use of human based collagen (Cosmoderm or Cosmoplast) from tissues cultures offer less risk of allergy and no longer require allergy testing.
Acne scars and other scars can respond well to dermal fillers.
Newer, longer lasting fillers are now available now, mostly from Europe, some are biosynthetic and have practically no risk of allergy. We commonly use Restylane, Esthelis and Prevelle, these products are a Hyalan (Hyaluronan) gel which is a precursor of collagen but last much longer having undergone molecular cross linking. These products are from non animal sources and molecules of Hyalan are non-species specific and really exactly as you have in your own body. The science is in the crosslinking of the molecular bonds to make them last longer without creating bumps in the skin. Some of these products will have a a longevity of more than a year. We started using these products around 10 year ago and still carry many different fillers. If you chose The Elemetns, then we are one of the most experienced clinics in different fillers around, we are then ideally placed to chose the correct product for your needs.
Permanent Fillers. Other companies have used polyacrylamide (Aquamid) or micronised spheres of polymer for a permanent effect (Artefill). These products are not advised for first time users and require a full consultation with the doctor to explain possible long term risks.
Non surgical Rhinoplasty (nose shaping) is winning an increasing market share as doctors realize it can achieve detailed results not possible with conventional surgery. The long lasting filler Aquamid is ideal for this indication, due to both consistency and the duration of the result.
All fillers can be implanted carefully on a repeat basis for perfecting results and are often used in conjunction with Botulinum.
REDENSITY FILLERS
Beauty Booster Redensity [I] could be referred to as an injectable moisturiser. It has high concentration of natural and free hyaluronic acid plus a combination of antioxidants, amino acids, minerals and vitamins, all of which are naturally present in our skin. It can smooth out wrinkles and restore volume as well as help improve skin glow, elasticity, texture and hydration.
With age, we can lose up to 2/3 of our hyaluronic acid pool. As it gets thinner, the skin becomes morefragile, dehydrates and it's elasticity diminishes. The hyaluronic acid injections compensate the natural loss of this substance and stimulate the auto-production of collagen to help smooth out wrinkles, restore volume and improve skin glow, elasticity, texture and hydration.
For optimum results, we recommend 3 sessions.
