Dermal Fillers in Pimlico, London

Treatments with dermal fillers (hyaluronic acid) are an easy and effective way to enhance the face’s natural beauty. Filler treatments such as lip fillers, cheek enhancement, and tear trough augmentation are some of the UK’s most popular beauty treatments.

What is Dermal Filler Made of?

Semi-permanent fillers are a  manmade, non-animal gel that mimics the body’s natural hyaluronic acid,  giving safe, long-lasting and natural looking results. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule that is found in your body, and any  injected amounts will be absorbed into the body after a few months.

• Occasional bruising can occur; it is usually short term and lasts a few days.

Pre-Treatment Instructions:

• For optimal results, and to minimize the chance of bleeding or  bruising at the injection site, please avoid all blood-thinning  medications and supplements for one week prior to your appointment. This  includes over-the-counter medication such as aspirin, Motrin,  ibuprofen, and Aleve. Also avoid herbal supplements such as garlic,  vitamin E, ginko biloba, St. John’s Wort and omega-3/fish oil capsules.  If you have a cardiovascular history, please check with your medical  provider prior to stopping use of aspirin or other prescribed blood  thinning medications.

How long do dermal fillers last?      

The effects of Dermal Fillers gradually fade, but will last on average between 4-12 months, depending on the treatment area.

When you start to notice the effects of your fillers wear-off you can  come back for a top-up treatment. Should you  choose not to continue with dermal fillers the gel will biodegrade in  the skin and simply disappear with time.
