These
injectable treatments are a safe and effective way to soften lines,
folds and wrinkles and to enhance lips and cheekbones giving a more
youthful appearance. These products are made from non-animal hyaluronic
acid, almost identical to that found In the body and when injected
into the skin they work together with the bodies own hyaluronic
acid to create volume. Unlike permanent implants Restylane or Hydrafill
always leave you with a choice when the effect of the treatment
has worn off.

Frequently
asked question
How
long does it take?
The procedure takes about 30-45 minutes and
the results are instant.
Will
I need pain relief?
Usually an anaesthetic cream is sufficient
however a dental block is recommended for lip treatment
What
can and can't I do after the treatment?
You can carry on with you life as normal as
any redness can be covered with makeup. It is advisable not to expose
the area to strong sunlight for up to 2-3 days after the treatment
and to leave the treated area alone to settle for 48 hours post
treatment.
How
long does the treatment last?
For about 6-9 months, sometimes longer.
How
safe is the product?
Hyaluronic acid is safe as it is made from
non-animal products and is totally natural, existing in the skin
of all life. The company Restylane alone has been using hyaluronic
acid for more than seven years and has given over 1.5 million injections
with no serious long term side effects.
What
do the products contain and what do they look like?
The products contain hyaluronic acid and water
with the appearance of crystal clear gels. There are several different
sizes of gel particles for different purposes and effects.
Are
there any side effects?
After the treatment there may be some redness,
swelling, pain or itching in the treated site. Very occasionally
patients can suffer from some bruising at the injection site. Such
reaction will resolve spontaneously
Who
is suitable for treatment?
Almost everyone expect those that are pregnant
or breast-feeding.
Do
I need to come back?
A touch up with 2-4 weeks may be necessary
and regular follow up treatments, every 6-9 months are recommended
to maintain a good result but with the follow up smaller amounts
of products are normally required.
What
happens if I do not have a top up?
Correction of the wrinkles and lip enhancement
will subside gradually until your skin looks like it did before
the treatment.
