Facial Contour
& Re-shaping

A consultation is essential, prior to taking any of the medical aesthetic treatments.

A brief telephone consultation will enable us to asses that you are eligible for a full consultation and treatment.

What will the Facial Contour and Re-shaping treatment involve?
Your medical practitioner will complete a thorough consultation.
The area to be treated is cleansed followed by the application of the local anesthetic then the chosen dermal filler solution is injected into the area selected.
The treatment takes from 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the re-shaping you require.

What type of Dermal Filler is used?
Dermal fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid, a natural hydrating substance occurring in our bodies, of which we have abundance in our youth. As we age, the levels decrease depleting the skin’s support system, resulting is loss of volume which allows lines and wrinkles to occur.
There are many types of dermal filler. Your practitioner will select the best to suit each individual’s needs.

Here are just a few of the examples:
Juvéderm® ULTRA is a natural, biodegradable gel that flows easily into your skin, instantly filling out those troublesome lines, leaving a smooth and natural look and feel. There is an immediate difference after just one treatment and lasts longer than other formulas, at least 12 months due to the unique way they are made.
Juvéderm® ULTRA comes in three formulations for more natural-looking, adaptable results.
Juvéderm® ULTRA 2 erases moderate lines, especially those around the lips and corners of the eyes and those very close to the surface of the skin.
Juvederm® VOLUMA® is used to replenish the Hyaluronic Acid within the skin, which will restore lost volume to cheeks, cheekbones and chin,  creating a more natural fuller, contoured youthful appearance. On average the effect lasts up to 12 months.
Restylane products are sterile gels consisting of non-animal stabilised Hyaluronic Acid injected into the skin to improve facial lines, wrinkles, folds, shaping facial contours and lip enhancement.
Hyaluronic Acid holds water, hydrating and giving volume to the skin. Since its launch in 1996 Restylane has been used safely in over 2 million treatments worldwide.
Restylane adds volume to your skin without effecting your natural expression. It is non-permanent and is absorbed naturally over time, so you can choose as to when to have further treatment to maintain the effect. It also allows flexibility as one or more areas of your face can be treated. On average the effect lasts 6 to 9 months.
Radiesse is a unique dermal filler made from synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a water based gel carrier. Once the product has been injected into the area it forms a scaffold to support and stimulate the production of the body’s own collagen. The results are longer lasting, up to 12 months or longer in many patients.

Are dermal injections safe?
Dermal fillers have been in Aesthetic use for more than two decades and thousands of men and women have received Dermal Filler injections in the UK every year.
Dermal Filler injections are administered in such a way that it only affects the area of your skin injected and it does not reach any other part of the body.
Providing the Dermal Filler injections are administered by a medical practitioner the risks are extremely minimal.
Dermal Filler injections are administered by our medical expert doctor and nurse prescriber to ensure that quality and safety is paramount.

Does it hurt?
The procedure is generally pain free as a local anesthetic is applied to the treated area prior to the administration of the injections. Care is taken to make it as comfortable as possible.
As with all injections there may be some mild temporary discomfort and redness in the direct injection site, which subsides quickly.

How many treatments do I need?
One treatment is usually required to achieve the desired look. The selected dermal filler will determine the longevity of the results from 12 to 18 months.
Thread Face Lift may be recommended along with the Dermal Filler Injection, as the filler can create volume and re-shape but the Thread Face Lift can lift heavy drooping on the face.

How quickly will I see the results?
You will see results immediately after a single treatment.
Some dermal filler formulas provide further results over a few weeks as the product injected into the area forms a scaffold to support and stimulate the production of the body’s own collagen, increasing further volume from within the skin

How long will the results last?
The selected dermal filler will determine the longevity of the results from 12 to 18 months.
