Dermal fillers can be used to improve the appearance in a variety of ways and can be applied to specific points on the face, depending on the concern that needs to be addressed. A versatile treatment that can be administered to the mid and lower parts of the face, dermal fillers can help to restore a youthfully rejuvenated look, or to enhance the natural contouring and definition of the features. The injectable gel also contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, flooding the skin with moisture to boost hydration in the skin.
Nurse Katie
“As we age, our skin changes and we lose hydration as well as facial fat. Our natural skin elasticity reduces due to the degradation of collagen and our skin becomes more fragile. Because of these natural skin changes, over time the natural volume of your youthful skin begins to diminish, and wrinkles and folds start to form. The more mobile facial areas are the first to be affected by this natural ageing process. Skin will eventually begin to sag, and “expressive” wrinkles will start to appear, which are more difficult to smooth out.
Dermal fillers are a safe and effective procedure to help smooth out problem areas and tackle signs of skin ageing."
Why use Dermal Fillers?
As a person ages, the body begins to lose collagen. Collagen is an important substance that exists in your skin, muscles, bones and tissues. A decrease in the amount of collagen can cause skin laxity and loss of volume. The skin becomes thinner, loses its elasticity and starts to sag.
Dermal fillers can be used to treat:
Sagging skin
Making facial features more symmetrical.
Plumping lips and cheeks.
Smoothing wrinkles and creases.
Adding volume to help smooth the texture of the skin’s surface can work effectively to soften the look of facial wrinkles, including smile lines and lip lines. As the underlying tissues of the skin lose density and facial volume loss becomes apparent, dermal fillers can restore a volumized look to sunken cheeks, tear trough furrows and hollow temples. Acting to replace lost collagen in the skin, helps to restore a firm and full structure that effectively lifts sagging skin around the cheeks, chin and jawline. Expertly administered to follow the natural lines of the face, this enables the features to replenish their strong contouring.

During the ageing process the volume of the lips starts to decrease and may have reduced by up to 50% by the age of 50. This can cause the lips to look flatter and wider and have less projection. Lip fillers can be used to enhance the shape and volume of lips for younger and older clients seeking to restore volume or reinvent their look. For definition of the lip outline, filler is introduced all around the lip border. For enhanced volume, lip filler is administered into the border and into the body of the lips.

Marionette lines are long vertical wrinkles that traverse from the corners of the lips to the chin. The name is derived from Marionette puppets that have faces with long vertical creases. These creases could give a grim or sad look to the face. These lines occur with age, smoking and genetics and can progress to form jowls later on. It is possible to lift these corners with dermal filler by adding volume and anchoring the corners higher up.

The Nasolabial fold is the deep crease 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. Deep Nasolabial folds can be corrected through 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.

Jawline filler is a type of dermal filler that is used to define the jawline. It is applied through a small series of injections containing hyaluronic acid or collagen in multiple areas along the jaw. Jawline filler can improve anybody’s facial structure. It can be used to make you look younger or change the shape of your face, resulting in your features looking more chiselled and defined. Jaw fillers can be used to create a youthful look and create an oval-shaped face with a more defined jawline.

Over time the face loses fat, causing the cheeks to become flat and saggy, giving way to a sunken-in look. Although some are born with naturally high cheekbones, achieving the look of sculpted cheeks can be accomplished through both treatments that focus on restoring plumpness, volume and definition.
To restore volume to the midface and recreate youthful contours, we can use dermal fillers. The filler used consists of a thicker hyaluronic acid – a substance which can be found in the body. Filler can be placed directly above the cheek bones and moulded to define natural cheek bone structure. They can also lift areas lower down such as the Nasolabial folds.

Dark circles and tear troughs can both create an aged and tired look. While dark circles can sometimes be resolved with adequate sleep, good hydration and healthy lifestyle, tear troughs are a much trickier problem to tackle.
Tear troughs, or sunken eye sockets can be brought on by the ageing as the collagen production slows down and the skin thins and sags. This creates small fat under the eye and casts a shadow across the area. Treatment with dermal filler can take this problem away.

Vertical lip lines are caused by lots of different factors such as smoking and repetitive lip pursing and movement. They can become more visible when wearing lipstick as the product tends to "bleed" into these lines. Filler into these wrinkles can help reduce their appearance.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance that is produced by the body. Hyaluronic transfers essential nutrients from the bloodstream to the skin cells, while bringing in hydration and adding volume to the skin.
-
Once the HA gel is injected, it supports the facial structures and tissues that may have lost elasticity or volume. It helps to bring water to the surface of the skin, keeping the skin supple and fresh-looking.

Dermal fillers have many uses to help improve the look of the face, hands, neck and decolletage. Both younger and older adults, men and women find the use of dermal fillers can achieve the appearance they desire as the effects of ageing can be reduced as well as creating a more striking appearance. Whatever your needs, Nurse Katie can expertly advise the type of procedure you will require in order to address your personal concerns. Restoring volume beneath the skin is what dermal fillers does best, whether that is to replace lost collagen or to build upon your natural structure to strengthen the features.
-
Depending on what treatment you have done, your results will last different lengths of time. You will find that results will last a minimum of 12 months and a maximum of 24 months.
-

-
The safety of dermal fillers is supported by being given FDA approval. Nurse Katie is possess expert knowledge and apply this injectable treatment with safety and precision in mind. An unsatisfactory result is not something that is experienced at Nurse Katie’s clinics, however if you do not achieve your expected outcome, further product can be added or the product can easily be dissolved.
-
Some minor discomfort may be experienced both during the procedure and for a short while afterwards. Dermal fillers can be administered following the application of a topical numbing cream (20 – 30 minutes before the treatment), however some products will contain a mild anaesthetic. A fine needle is used to minimise any discomfort, with any lasting tenderness settling within a matter of hours.
-
Redness, swelling and bruising are normal effects that are to be expected immediately following the treatment. These effects are usually very minor and will have subsided in around 24 hours. Small bruises that appear where the injections were administered in the skin, can be covered with concealing make-up if you wish. The importance of following aftercare is paramount in reducing the risks of infection by not touching the treated areas.
A risk that many patients are worried about is something called a vascular occlusion or a blockage in vessel. This is a risk, but is rare when it comes to medical aesthetics, due to the knowledge known by Nurse Katie in preventing this from occurring, which includes the expert knowledge of the anatomy of the face and medical safety checks done when administering treatment, the risks of a vascular occlusion occurring are rare.
-
The treated area will need to be left to settle following the treatment, being careful not to touch or apply unnecessary pressure. For the first 6 hours, the area will need to be kept dry and you will need to avoid extremes of heat and cold.
The results can often be seen very quickly after the procedure and are found to last for up to 6 months. Nurse Katie will be able to put a long-term treatment plan in place, which will enable the outcome to be maintained for as long as you desire.
