Radiesse - Calcium based Dermal Filler
Radiesse is a long-lasting dermal filler that contours, lifts, and volumizes. It contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier.
It is a good option for those looking for long-term results and to reduce signs of aging.
How it works:
The CaHA microspheres provide immediate volume enhancement and stimulate the body's natural collagen production.
The gel carrier is absorbed, leaving behind the CaHA microspheres, which act as a scaffold to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
This process leads to long-term improvements in skin quality, texture, and firmness.
Benefits:
Reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
Improves skin quality and texture.
Promotes skin tightening.
Can be used to address areas of volume loss.
Targeted Areas:
Areas of fat loss in the face.
Backs of hands where volume has been lost.
Cheeks, nasolabial folds, jaw, chin, temples, and marionette lines.
Duration of Results:
The effects of Radiesse can last for about 15 months, but this can vary depending on the individual.
Top-up treatments are recommended to maintain results.

Sculpt/Contour with Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler
Sculpt & Contour is about enhancing and balancing features such as cheeks, chins and jawline, and bringing harmony to the face. The procedure involves placing small amounts of Hyaluronic acid dermal filler strategically to enhance facial proportions, improve how light reflects on the skin and create shadows giving the face a more contoured and slimmed appearance.
Dermal fillers comes in different viscosities. For this procedure we use a structured filler product placed more deeply, giving a natural looking result that feels soft and normal to touch. The products all contain local anaesthetic which increases comfort during the procedure but we also routinely pre-numb using medical grade numbing cream. This means you will feel slightly numb for up to 2 hours after the procedure. There is also a possibility of bruising and / or swelling with any procedure so we advise taking this into account when planning these treatments.
The results are immediately visible, with best effects at 4-6 weeks. Results last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years depending on the area / product / patient.

Soften lines and wrinkles with Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler
A soft low viscosity Hyaluronic Acid dermal filler can be used to add skin support and hydration. This can help treat deeper Nasolabial folds (nose to mouth lines), Marionette folds (corner of mouth support), smokers lines, finer smile lines.
A ‘less is more’ approach is employed here to keep results subtle and natural.
Treatment takes anything from 30mins to 1 hour. Best results seen at 3-4 weeks, with effects lasting anywhere from 6-12 months.
As with any dermal filler treatment, post operative numbness for 1-2 hours is normal, with some redness and / or bruising post procedure. It is therefore important to plan procedure accordingly.

Lip Filler
Lips do not need to look fake. It is important that the limitations of your own natural anatomy are respected, and the correct Hyaluronic Acid dermal filler products are used to achieve results. This treatment can add definition, contour and balance lip proportions in a way that mimics nature.
The procedure itself takes approximately 45 minutes. We pre-apply medical grade numbing cream, and the hyaluronic acid products contain local anaesthetic so the procedure is comfortable. We can offer a full dental block if preferred.
Swelling and / or bruising is quite normal with this procedure, and we advise allowing 24-48 hours for most of this to resolve. Hence it is important that patients schedule these procedures accordingly.

Tear Trough
Teosyal Redensity II is a thin, injectable hyaluronic acid filler formulated to address the specific challenges of the under-eye area, known as the tear trough.
What it does:
Fills hollows: It's designed to smooth and fill in the under-eye hollows, also known as the tear trough.
Hydrates: It helps to hydrate the area, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Reduces dark circles: By filling in the hollows, it can help to minimize the appearance of dark circles.
Why it's different:
Specifically for the under-eye area: Unlike other fillers, Redensity II is specifically designed for the delicate and thin skin around the eyes.
Minimal puffiness: It's formulated to minimize water retention, reducing the risk of puffiness.
Contains lidocaine: It includes lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to make the injection process more comfortable.
Results:
Long-lasting: Results can last for 8-12 months.
Natural-looking: The filler is designed to provide a natural-looking enhancement.
It is important to note that Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers can improve the appearance of volume loss in this area, but will not treat pigmentation issues.
If the issue is skin laxity and poor skin quality, especially crepey skin, it may be best to consider treatments such as Polynucleotide skin boosters, or other medical skin care solutions like laser resurfacing. This will be discussed at consultation.
