Fillers used for softening wrinkles, laughter lines, smokers lines and facial lines caused naturally by ageing or sun exposure.

 

The filler contains a synthetic version of hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in the body and helps give skin it’s elasticity, the filler is combined with a local anaesthetic, dermal fillers are injected into the skin to give your face natural volume, leaving skin plumped and youthful. 

 

Popular areas to add volume and fullness to include the lips and cheeks, reduce shadows/ dark circles under the eyes, and also to reduce jowls and create a sharper jawline, nasolabial lines (nose to mouth), marionette lines (from the corners of the mouth to the chin) and perioral lines (above the upper lip).

 

Does it hurt?

 

It may involve some slight pain or discomfort. Clients describe it as a tiny scratch as the needle goes in, with a slight stinging sensation as the filler is applied. We always apply a local anaesthetic to numb the area. Afterwards there may be some swelling or bruising. The swelling reduces within 48 hours; the bruising can take up to a fortnight.
