10 benefits of dermal fillers

Dermal fillers can be used for many purposes. Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, contouring your face, giving your lips a fuller look or revitalising skin.
If you are considering to have dermal filler but not sure about if it for you, this guide is just for you! We’ve listed the top 10 benefits of dermal fillers. After reading our guide if you still have any questions you can contact our clinics and book a consultation with our expert doctors and nurses.

1. There is no downtime with dermal fillers

One of the main reasons our clients prefer dermal fillers to any other anti-ageing treatment is that there is no downtime after the treatment. The main procedure is also quite quick and you are free to go back to your daily activities as soon as your treatment is completed. If you don’t have the time to go through long treatment or operations, dermal fillers are just for you.
Alternative procedures usually cause skin irritations, bruising or pain after your treatment. But with dermal fillers, you can never tell that you’ve just left the doctors room.
The only thing we would like you to avoid is make up right after your treatment. And that is due to the puncture that’s been left from the needle needs to be kept sterilised. But as soon as the needlepoint is recovered, you can apply to make up to your skin as well.

2. You can decide what results you want with dermal fillers

On invasive anti-ageing treatments such as surgeries, you cannot always decide on your results. Your body can have a different response to the treatment than you would expect. And it is rather on your doctor’s hands to deliver the exact results you are after.
With dermal fillers, you are more of a part of the treatment process. You can choose how much mil of filler you want and where do you want it to effect.
Then you are in the safe hands of our doctors and nurses for the best results.

3. Dermal fillers build your self-confidence up

We are all beautiful in our skin. But sometimes we might have little things that we would feel shy about. Perhaps it can be your thin lips or the fine lines and wrinkles appearing on your skin reminding you about the time. Many of our clients realise boost on their confidence after having their dermal fillers. More kissable lips and younger-looking face. It will definitely make you feel better.

4. With dermal fillers you can get rid of your scars

One of the biggest advantages of dermal fillers is that they improve the appearance of scars. You might have tried different things to get rid of your facial scars. Maybe you tried to cover with makeup or you tried painful and long treatments to get rid of them. But dermal fillers might just be the answer for you.

5. Dermal fillers give you a younger-looking skin

As we grow older, our skin loses its collagen and the fat on some areas move down under the skin. This causes us to lose the plumpness of our skin. Dermal fillers can help you to restore the plumpness you lost over the years and leaves you with a younger-looking face.

6. You can choose to get subtle results with dermal fillers

If it is your first time getting dermal fillers and you don’t want to have a major change, you can inform your doctor or nurse and they will be able to decrease the level of your dermal injections. For example, you can choose 0.5 mil fillers instead of 1 mil ones. This way you can have a gradual change in your appearance and have more subtle results.

7. Immediate results with dermal fillers

Most of us start to use anti-ageing creams in our late 20s. It starts giving us the necessary head start while fighting with the visible effects of years. However anti-ageing creams require consistent everyday use and they provide a very little effect in such a long period of time.
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, give you the instant results you are looking for. It usually takes around a week for your optimum results but you get immediate results from your treatment even with the most subtle injection.

8. Unlike surgery, there is no recovery time with dermal fillers

Plastic surgery is usually preferred by clients who are looking for more dramatic results in terms of anti-ageing. The results are more visible and can last longer than dermal fillers. However, the recovery time usually takes weeks. And you also may not want to go through anaesthetics and the aftercare the surgery requires.

9. With dermal fillers you are the same person, just your better self

One of the other main reason our clients prefer dermal fillers over more invasive treatments is that dermal fillers don’t change your face. Your mimics, your facial qualities will stay the same. And there will only be an improvement on your looks. If you are looking for anti-ageing fillers, you are not going to start looking like someone else. You will get back to your look on your older pictures.

10. You are in safe hands with our dermal filler experts

Our dermal fillers are only performed with industry leading professionals. All our doctors and nurses have many years of experience with dermal fillers and they will make sure to get you the best results! You are always in safe hands with our experts.

Filler for Men

More and more men are turning to treatments such as fillers to enhance their appearance.

A new industry for ‘tweakments’ has grown with many men now looking to tweak their look with subtle improvements.

Our Doctor led injectable team are treating more men every week across our London clinics. Getting rid of frown lines and crows feet, sagging skin and dark eyes are the most popular areas treated. Most men are after subtle changes.

Changes where people can’t really tell if they have had any ‘work’ done or not.

what are fillers?

Fillers are injectables that you can use to do more than just smooth wrinkles. Dermal fillers can be used in a number of areas to fight back against the signs of ageing. Redefining areas you may not be happy with. Dermal fillers are a transparent sterile gel.

A syringe is then used to inject the filler into the skin to providing immediate correction.

what are they made of ?

Most fillers are made up of Hyaluronic acid which is a sugar chain molecule,naturally occurring in your bodies skin and tissue. It attracts and binds water providing the skin with volume and hydration.

It also helps support vital collagen and elastin fibres by allowing for chemical messages between the cells.

How are fillers made?

Fillers are normally manufactured by fermenting and cross linking proteins. This results in a clear, sterile gel for injecting.

Be careful as in the UK there are over 160 brands only a handful of these should be used. This is due to weak regulation, so it is imperative you choose a reputable clinic. Preferably with a nurse or doctor led injectable team using and branded fillers.

fillers for men Filler brands to trust

As mentioned above you do not want to be injected with a non brand cheap filler. Don’t be afraid to ask your practitioner where they source their filler from.

Not all hyaluronic acids are the same quality. Trusted brands can not be bought or are available over the internet.

Be weary of clinics offering cheap injectables. The biggest cost of performing treatment is made up the the filler itself and the injectors time. The most popular brands are:

  • Juvederm™ (FDA 2006)
  • Belotero™ (FDA 2011)
  • Restylane™ (FDA 2003)
  • Emervel™
  • Teosyal™

Popular Areas treated with fillers on men 

There are many areas that can be treated with fillers. Fillers can now even be used for a non surgical nose job where you use the filler to smooth out any bumps or uneven parts of your nose.

  • You can fill out a jawline, giving yourself a more striking look.
  • You can broaden and even out your lips so you feel less self-conscious about your smile.
  • You can treat dark circles under your eyes, an unhealthy look that plagues many.
  • And if you do want to smooth your wrinkles out, you can utilise Anti-Wrinkle Injections to ease them away.

Having a defined and chiselled jawline is an aesthetic feature that many men are after, and lucky for you this is now achievable with Jawline Filler. Jawline filler can be used to make the jaw more pronounced or consistent, whether clean-shaven, with a bit of stubble, or to complement a handsome beard.

Whether you’re looking to add more volume to your chin, or you want a more defined angle in your jaw, our Aesthetic Nurse & Doctor can help you get the look you want.

Evening Your Lips

Lips are the first place the eye goes when someone is speaking, or when someone is considering kissing someone else. They say a lot about what happens next. Sometimes, men struggle with asymmetrical lips.

These can be evened out in a way that’s gradual and natural in appearance. There’s no harm in making another’s eyes linger.

Tear Trough

Bags or dark circles under the eyes can be addressed with fillers. These fill out areas that look sunken or diminished. This can be important in encouraging others to meet your own gaze, whether you need a boss to listen more carefully to you, or to feel more confident on a date.

Eyes can be more expressive the more someone else is able to focus on them.

Anti-Wrinkle Injectables

This is a proved method to reduce wrinkles. Many men don’t want to completely eliminate age lines that communicate wisdom and experience, but they may want to reduce them so they are less pronounced.

An Anti-Wrinkle Injections plan can be modified for the precise amount of effect you want it to have.

Profhilo is also an option for ageing, loose skin. Known as the 5 minute face lift, it can tighten and firm your skin with its patented BAP 5 point injection technique.

Injectables allow you to get the exact look you’re going for, whether it is the experienced enough to know what you’re doing, but still youthful and energetic look or you want the outside to reflect how you feel on the inside as there can sometimes be a disconnect between the two.

Depending on the quality of the filler injected and your bodies reaction to it, fillers can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months.
We use  Juvederm at Premier Laser as it is made from a higher concentration of hyaluronic acids than other brands like Restylane.
This mean it tends to last longer. Juvederm Voluma can last up to between 18-24 months making it the longest lasting temporary dermal filler available on the market today (June 2020)

Are fillers dangerous?

All treatments carry a degree of risk with fillers being minimally invasive.

Your fillers should be done by a medical professional who has undergone specialist training. Side effects can include

  • Bruising
  • Itching
  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Tenderness

The above should fade within 48 hours.  Swelling is worse within the first 24 hours while any bruising can take 7 to 10 days to improve.

How much do fillers cost?

Prices can range from £150 to several hundred pounds depending on the area treated and where you have your treatment done. You are charged for the amount of filler used. This can be from 0.5ml to a full syringe.

A Harley street clinic would charge a lot more then someone operating without a clinic and word of mouth advertising.

Of course we would only recommend you visit a reputable clinic for your treatment.

How much face filler do I need?

Depending on the area treated it is usually between 1-3ml. This depends on your goals and results you want to achieve. If you have previously had filler and are looking to top up with a maintenance plan, then less would be required then if it was your first time.

Fillers for Contouring

Who doesn’t want to turn back the hands of time? To lift sagging jaw lines, plump sunken cheeks, erase wrinkles, creases and fine lines, add volume to the lips? The problem is that, traditionally, the only viable solution was surgery. With advanced technology and techniques, though, that is all changing. Dermal Fillers can create contouring magic.

Anti-Ageing Injectables: They’ve Come a Long Way, Baby!

In the earlier days of injectables, the immediate results were… well, shall we say, noticeable? As in, you certainly noticed the lack of facial movements and “frozen” type appearance. Luckily, though, today’s most advanced treatments work to contour and lift your features to deliver subtle, natural and superb results.

What can you expect from dermafillers?

  • Softening of deep facial creases and wrinkles.
  • Plumbing of the cheeks.
  • Definition of the lips and mouth area.
  • Enhancing of shallow contours.
  • A youthful, revitalised appearance.

The Power of Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is one of the buzziest trends in the skin care world – and for good reason. “Trends” is misleading though: hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring humectant (i.e. a substance that helps the skin retain moisture). A critical ingredient in our fillers, hyaluronic acid keeps the plump, supple, firm and younger looking.

Babies have high levels of this element, which is why they have “baby soft” skin. As we age, particularly after 40, our levels decrease. An injection of this youthful humectant – which is suitable and safe for all skin types – is just what you need to erase visible signs of ageing.

Dermal Fillers allow you to achieve results and then get back to your day with no fuss, no muss – and wonderful results! Schedule your consult to find out more.

How Fillers Can Transform Your Lips

Thanks to celebrities from the Jenners/Kardashians and Angelina Jolie to Chloe Ferry and Michelle Keegan, as well as countless Instagram pages, luscious lips have become the focus of intense attention – and desire. Lip injections have seen a tremendous rise in popularity, among people of all ages. How do they transform your lips?

Achieve the Look You Want

In the past, lip injections were typically only offered to those seeing changes in their face due to age. Today, that still applies, but more young people (primarily women) want the full look as well. Here’s what fillers can do:

  • Define your cupid’s bow. The two peaks and valley of your upper lip form your “cupid’s bow.” This is very subtle in some people;
  • fillers can be applied to specific areas (in this case, the peaks) rather than the entire lip to help you get that defined bow.
  • Help volumise and plump. You can opt for injections that create an all over look of plumpness and fullness.
  • Even out asymmetrical lips. No one’s perfect – but why not get a bit of help to get as close as possible! Symmetry is an important component of aesthetic beauty, and fillers help even out lips that, for example, appear fuller on one side.
  • Build volume at the sides of the lip. This gives your lips a more defined, pronounced appearance. It an also correct drooping or sagging in the corners.
  • Reverse an upside-down mouth. Turn that frown upside down! Injections can lift the corners of the mouth, creating a more open look.
  • Banish lines around the mouth. Marionette lines, smoker’s lines and other vertical lines can be treated effectively with lip fillers. Look years younger!

Lip Fillers: Everything you need to know

Full, plump lips – it’s certainly a sign of beauty, but not everyone has them naturally. Products like lipstick and lip liner can help, but they wear off, and they don’t always offer you the results you really want. If you’re sick of fighting your lips for real results and wasting your money on over-the-counter treatments that can only go so far, it’s time to book your lip filler treatment with us.

What Is Lip Filler?

We use hyaluronic acid to help fill out your lips; our chosen filler is a natural gel that helps flow gently into your skin and instantly offer you the fill you want. It means real definition and very little downtime. You’ll get that perfect natural look within just a few weeks.

What Can I Expect?

If you book one of our lip filler treatments, we’ll schedule an assessment appointment before the actual procedure. On the day of your procedure, we’ll clean and numb the area, then gently inject the filler into the area(s) that need the most help. While you may see some bruising within the first few days of the procedure, it will subside quickly, and you’ll be left with the look you want most.
