What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal filler injections provide a non-surgical option to improve our skin. They are used to reshape, contour, volumise, fill and revitalise the face, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

As we age, our faces naturally lose fat and skin loses some of its elasticity. This can make the signs of ageing, such as facial lines, more apparent. If you add in aggravating factors such as genetics, smoking and sun exposure, sometimes skin can age too quickly. Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which is injected in small amounts into any problem areas, giving the skin a lift and leaving your face feeling more firm and supple. Improving the elasticity of your skin can also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, even after one treatment.

Dermal fillers are perfectly safe to use and the effects can be long-lasting, especially as part of a regular treatment plan. All dermal filler products used at Advanced Skin Therapies are of the highest grade and CE approved, all of which are made of Hyaluronic Acid - a perfectly safe water binding molecule that is naturally present in the body.

The following areas can be treated:

Lip Augmentation delivers a number of beautiful benefits. Dermal Fillers injections in the lips add volume and definition whilst highlighting the most attractive aspects of your natural lip anatomy such as a beautifully shaped vermillion border or a heart shaped cupids bow. At Advanced Skin Therapies Jill has the skills and ability to totally transform a set of lips, creating shape symmetry and volume, often boosting your confidence and feelings of femininity in the process. For lips that have lost volume through the ageing process natural lip filling techniques are incredibly effective solutions, replacing lost volume, softening fine lines, lipstick bleeds and other age related irregularities. Price: Up to 1.1ml - £150.00.

Cheek Augmentation is a popular aesthetic procedure that either highlights, creates cheek contours or replaces lost volume in the ‘apples’. Volumised cheekbones contribute to a youthful healthy looking face or accentuate natural angles. The non-surgical cheek augmentation reshaping involves the use of dermal filler which is injected via cannula to minimise skin trauma and down time. The goal is to contour, create or reshape the cheek. Price: 1.1ml - £150.00, 2.2ml - £280.00.

Chin Augmentation is a simple aesthetic procedure that creates incredible changes to the facial profile and shape. Chin augmentation is typically used for several reasons - to enhance a weak chin or jawline, remodel the chin to erase dips or dents, or to feminise a square or short chin. Your desired outcome will be discussed prior to treatment. Price: 1.1ml - £150.00, 2.2ml - £280.00.

Nasolabial Folds are the deep creases running from either side of the nose down towards the corners of the mouth. This crease becomes more noticeable as part of the natural ageing process. Fat is lost from the cheeks, reducing skin volume and making this fold appear deeper. Repeated smiling or having a “big smile” may result in permanent, deep creases in this area. Nasolabial folds can be corrected through cannula injections of dermal filler into the surrounding area, restoring the lost volume and softening the appearance of these creases. The goal of nasolabial fold injections is to even out the skin volume, leaving you with a smoother, refreshed-looking appearance. Price: 1.1ml - £150.00, 2.2ml - £280.00.

Smokers Lines (despite the name) are the vertical lip lines are not always caused by smoking, but can also be due to repetitive lip pursing and movement or sun damage. Dermal filler injected into this area will reduce the appearance of the lines. Dermal filler can also be combined with Botox to help further enhance results. Price: 1.1ml - £150.00, 2.2ml - £280.00.

Marionette Lines are vertical lines that commonly develop on each side of the mouth as a result of the ageing process and can contribute to a look of sadness to a person’s face. The goal of injecting dermal filler in the marionette folds is to reverse the look of a downturned face for a happier more youthful smile. Dermal filler can also be combined with Botox to help further enhance results. Price: 1.1ml - £150.00, 2.2ml - £280.00.

Jawline sculpting creates incredible changes to the structure of the lower face. Skillful application of Dermal filler delivers a sharper, tighter looking jawline and offsets the heaviness and descent of the upper face. The treatment has the ability to either maximise the feminity or masculinity of the facial features of either sex.

In addition the process not only contours the jawline but can lessen the look of a weak or double chin. Every treatment approach is bespoke to the individual patient and will be mapped out during your consultation.

Jawline contouring complements the results of other aesthetic treatments such as the cheek filler, as both approaches emphasise all the flattering angles of the face. Price: Dermal filler package required.

Liquid Face Lift Heaviness and descent from fat atrophy, muscle and ligament weakness are all part of the natural ageing process and they all contribute to the dreaded jowls, the bug bear for many trying to keep the ageing process at bay. Dermal filler is placed in to the anatomical zones of the face to add volume and definition resulting in a lifted appearance. Results are genuinely jaw dropping, turning back the clock numerous years!  No two faces are the same so the treatment plan will be mapped out during the consultation process. Price: Dermal filler package required.

Dermal filler packages:

3ml - £380.00.

4ml - £460.00.

5ml - £540.00.

Must all be used in one treatment.

Dermal filler packages can be purchased to treat several of the above treatments at the same time, packages exclude Tear Trough and Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty.

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty Advanced Skin Therapies offer a non-invasive alternative to a surgical nose procedure. Since the shape, contours and tip of the nose can strongly define the attractiveness of our faces, defects or irregularities can often manifest as personal insecurities. In the past, the only remedy was surgical alteration or reduction, which for some is deemed an extreme solution. Thankfully there is now a very effective, long lasting treatment alternative that is not only incredibly effective at completely correcting defects in the nose by reshaping, rebalancing or even resizing, it also minimises the trauma and downtime entirely. The procedure is quick and results are nothing short of incredible, totally altering the profile of the face.

The procedure is completed over two sessions, although the majority if not all of the aesthetic outcome is completed in the first session. The second session allows for small touch ups to ensure longevity of the procedure. Price: £280.00.

The Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty is a very effective solution to correct:

• A bump or ‘hook’ on the bridge of the nose.
• Asymmetrical nose.
• Crooked nose.
• A flat or a low bridge.
• A large or bulbous tip.
• A droopy tip.

Tear Trough Fillers are suitable for people who are concerned about dark circles, hollows or wrinkles around their eyes, and are looking to restore lost volume. Tear Trough filler is administered using a cannula and has the following benefits:

• Reduces dark circles under the eyes.
• Adds volume and plump hollows under the eyes.
• Rejuvenates tired eyes.
• Boosts collagen production and overall skin quality.
• Reduces lines and wrinkles.
• Quick treatment with instant results.
• No down time – you can go straight back to work.

Teosyal Puresense Redensity II is the dermal filler used and this procedure lasts 9-18 months and helps to increase volume and plump up the area whilst smoothing and harmonising the contours between eyes and cheeks. Whilst one session will make a marked difference to your concerns, a follow up treatment may be required for optimum results. Price: 1st treatment - £250.00, follow up treatment - £180.00 if required.
