Dermal Fillers in Derby

What are Dermal Fillers?

These are injectable chemicals or substances. They give the face and other body parts fullness and more volume. This treatment uses various materials, such as poly-L-lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxylapatite.

These substances go into the skin to smooth up wrinkles and fine lines. They give volume to areas with no fullness with age or weight loss, and accentuate facial features, like the lips and cheeks. Depending on the type of filler used, the results can last anywhere from a few months to two years.

There is often little to no downtime after the treatment. A competent medical professional carry out the procedure by injecting the filler into particular regions of the face or body to get the desired result. Dermal fillers are a secure and efficient way to enhance natural beauty and restore a youthful appearance. To reduce the possibility of problems, it is essential to use a trained practitioner and adhere to all post-treatment guidelines.

Dermal Filler Treatment

Treatments with hyaluronic acid provide rapid improvement and correction of fine, medium and deep wrinkles, folds, facial contours (hyaluronic threads, face volumetry) and augmentation.

They work by replenishing the body’s natural hyaluronic acid resources, inhibit collagen breakdown caused by collagenases, contributing to the improvement of the skin’s appearance, and also stimulate the production of new collagen.

Filling wrinkles is done by injecting into the appropriate depth of the skin a gel (there are several types of them) tha imitates the tissue structure. This ensures an improvement in the volume and firmness of the skin by appropriately lifting sagging tissues. This action eliminates the visible signs of aging.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies. Its task is to keep water in the tissues and together with elastin and collagen fibres determines the elasticity and smoothness of the skin. Thanks to its hygroscopic properties (the acid molecule binds 40 times more water than it weighs), it allows the skin to maintain the proper level of tissue hydration. Unfortunately, the quantity and quality of hyaluronic acid decrease with age, which leads to sagging skin and the appearance of wrinkles. Thanks to the use of aesthetic medicine treatments, our skin regains its elasticity, imperfections. Wrinkles disappear, and the face regains its youthful and radiant appearance.

It is a non-surgical and minimally invasive rejuvenating treatment. Most importantly – the effects of the treatment are immediate!
