We offer dermal filler treatments for a wide range of body areas at our Wimbledon clinic. We only use fillers from the best manufacturers, not only ensuring safety but also ensuring that we are using the best product for you and the area you would like to enhance.
Most people are fully aware of what dermal fillers are nowadays. There are, however, some subtle and not-so-subtle differences in ingredients and composition, depending on the area we wish to treat. They are always made with biocompatible substances and add volume and smooth out wrinkles when injected into the skin. There are many different ingredients, but the main ingredient of the filler we use in clinic is Hyaluronic Acid (HA). HA has been a trusted ingredient in the world of dermal fillers for over two decades.
The great versatility of dermal fillers means that they can be used in a lot of areas. Here are the areas we treat at Damalis Skin Clinic:
Dermal fillers have risen in popularity over the years, and for good reason. These versatile treatments offer many benefits and cater to diverse aesthetic needs. Here are some of the many advantages of dermal fillers and the reasons why patients opt for them:
Immediate Results: One of the most appealing aspects of dermal fillers is their instant gratification. Shortly after the procedure, you can witness a noticeable enhancement in your facial features.
Non-Surgical alternative: Dermal fillers offer a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures, allowing individuals to achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance without the downtime or risks associated with surgery.
Natural Appearance: When administered by skilled professionals, dermal fillers yield results that look and feel natural, ensuring that your inherent beauty is accentuated, not altered.
Long-Lasting Effects: Depending on the type of filler and the area treated, the rejuvenating effects can last anywhere from six months to two years, making it a cost-effective beauty investment.
Versatility: Dermal fillers can address a wide range of concerns, from smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines to enhancing lip volume and contouring facial features.
Collagen Stimulation: Some fillers have the added benefit of stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, further enhancing skin’s firmness and elasticity over time.
Minimal Downtime: Most clients can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Safe and Biocompatible: As mentioned, many dermal fillers, especially those based on Hyaluronic Acid, are made from substances naturally found in the body, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or complications.
Reversible Results: For those apprehensive about making a permanent change, certain fillers, particularly those made from HA, can be dissolved, offering peace of mind.
At Damalis Skin Clinic, the journey towards enhanced natural beauty begins with an Initial Consultation. This step involves a detailed discussion with our aesthetic experts to understand your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. Our team, led by aesthetic professionals, employs a personalised approach, ensuring that each treatment plan is tailored to meet individual needs and expectations. During the consultation, we assess various factors such as skin type, facial symmetry, and desired outcomes to recommend the most suitable type of dermal filler.
The treatment session at Damalis Skin Clinic is meticulous, prioritising comfort and precision. Our skilled practitioners use advanced techniques to administer the dermal fillers, focusing on only achieving natural-looking results. The session duration varies depending on the treatment area but typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes. The experience is minimally invasive, with patients reporting minimal discomfort. The treatment involves strategically injecting the chosen filler into specific areas to enhance facial contours, smooth out wrinkles, or add volume where needed.
Preparing for Dermal Fillers is an essential step to ensure optimal results. We advise clients to avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and certain supplements like fish oil and vitamin E for at least 24 hours before the treatment. This precaution helps minimise the risk of bruising and swelling. It’s also recommended to arrive at the clinic with a clean face, free of makeup or creams. Our team provides personalised guidance based on your medical history and the specific treatment plan.
Post-treatment, Aftercare and Maintenance are key to prolonging the effects of dermal fillers. Clients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise, heat exposure, and alcohol for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Gentle ice application can be used to reduce any swelling. It’s crucial to follow a skincare routine as advised by our experts to maintain the skin’s health and enhance the longevity of the filler results. Regular follow-up appointments are recommended to assess the need for touch-ups, ensuring sustained and satisfying results.
