Dermal fillers are a gel like substance called hyaluronic acid that is injected into skin to lift and plump out areas that have lost collagen as a result of the natural ageing process. As part of the ageing process the skin looses its elasticity and volume, leading to thinning and dehydrated skin further contributing to wrinkle formation.

The injections rejuvenate the skin achieving an instant fresher younger appearance that just makes you look your best.

The active ingredient, hyaluronic acid, is naturally found in the skin, tendons and muscles of humans and gives our skin hydration and volume.  

At RefineUK we only use the latest FDA or CE approved dermal fillers such as the Juvederm, Teosyal Redensity 2, Restylane Eyelight and Revolax.

With new technology advances including using anaesthetic in the filler, the injections are relatively painless. In addition, we use soft injections called cannulas that have the advantage of minimal or no bruising and treating areas that were previously too hard to reach. These advanced techniques we use at RefineUK, can now fill out and hydrate hollows.

 

Dermal filler treatments typically seek to reduce the signs of ageing and rejuvenate the facial appearance by restoring volume and fullness to the face area such as

  • Soften ageing facial lines and wrinkles
  • Improve tired, gaunt looking skin
  • Help with confidence in appearance
  • Decrease sunken cheeks, temples and lower lids or ‘tear troughs’

Dermal fillers are a popular treatment option for a number of reasons

  • Dermal fillers take as little as 10 to 15 minutes to administer, there is no downtime required at all, so once you have had your fillers, you are free to return to work and the rest of your day-to-day activities,
  • Dermal fillers treatment produces fast results. The differences will be obvious immediately and the best result is visible a few days later.
  • The results look natural and can be so subtle that it will not be obvious that you have had fillers.
  • Dermal fillers can be carried out alongside other treatments to enhance the overall result, for example fillers can be used alongside botox.
  • Lastly another benefit of using dermal fillers is that they can stimulate natural collagen and elastin production, which are vital to maintaining plump, youthful skin and can often prolong the effects of the treatment.

Derma filler will normally last between 12-18 months, however this is very much dependant on your lifestyle and metabolism.
