Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that can be applied to a variety of areas on the face and body, and aim to add volume beneath the skin. This treatment can be as either an effective anti-ageing treatment or as a way of enhancing the definition and contouring of certain facial features. They can also work to fill in areas of the skin where a noticeable dimple or indentation is present, such in cases of acne scarring, a dimpled chin or cobblestone chin.
Lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and volume loss are common concerns that appear as part of the ageing process. Many people who seek the use of dermal fillers are often looking to refresh their appearance and restore a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

In-depth Procedure Information
The Consultation
Our expert practitioner will take an in-depth look at the conditions that are giving you concern. Whether it is to: soften the look of facial creases, enhance the cheeks, augment the lips, add volume to ageing hands, create an even surface of the skin or define the look of a weak jawline and chin, our bespoke treatment plan can help to complement your natural appearance.
Reshape & Restore is all about creating the best version of you, and takes an individual approach to each and every patient’s needs. We work together to address your individual concerns and produce a result that meets your every expectation.
The Procedure
A fine needle is used to administer small amounts of dermal filler to the chosen area. The gel works to add volume beneath the skin, replacing the substances that once maintained a youthfully plump look – collagen and elastin. Depending on which area is to be treated, your practitioner will know exactly the specific points where the filler will need to be applied.
A topical numbing is often requested by a patient to help alleviate any minor discomfort as the injections are administered.
Aftercare & Results
Instant results are often seen following a dermal filler procedure. The skin appears smoother and more even, as wrinkles are softened, skin indentations are filled and the bony look from thinning skin on the hands becomes firmer and fuller.
When dermal fillers have been used to enhance the features, a fuller, augmented look can be created. The chosen feature may appear more strongly defined and well contoured, as well as creating an improved look of balance and proportion to the features as a whole.
Dermal fillers contain a high concentration of hyaluronic acid; a substance that is found naturally within the skin and maintains the skin’s hydration. By increasing its levels, the skin can look and feel softer and more supple.
Touching the treated area for up to 6 hours after the treatment should be avoided to ensure the gel settles effectively into place. During this time you should also avoid washing the treated area and exposing it to extremes of heat or cold.
FAQ's
Dermal fillers are versatile treatments that can be used to improve a wide range of common skin concerns. Popular requests for dermal fillers are often to help reverse the effects of the ageing process and can be used on the face, neck, decolletage and hands. A tired look is often the result of wrinkling skin that is also becoming loose and thin. Dermal fillers can add volume to the chosen area, enhancing the features or creating a firmer, fuller and more even texture to the skin.
Dermal fillers should be administered by a trained and qualified professional if you are looking for a safe and effective treatment that produces successful results. There are many brands of filler on the market and a reputable practice will use a brand that is trusted and well-known throughout the industry. These products are considered safe to use and have been approved by the FDA.
Ensuring you share your medical history with your practitioner will help to reduce the chance of reacting to the product that is being used. Swelling, bruising and redness may be visible for a few days, with small bumps at the point of injection. However, this should cause you any downtime, and after the first 24 hours any bruising can be covered over with make-up.
On the day of your treatment, you should not use any cosmetic products, or make-up on the area that is to be addressed. The consultation session will ensure you are well prepared for the treatment that is to take place. You will be given all the information you need to understand the treatment process and our team will ensure that you remain well informed throughout.
