Dermal Fillers in Brentwood

Dermal filler treatment is a cosmetic procedure that plumps up facial lines and wrinkles to make the skin look more youthful. Fillers usually consist of sterile hyaluronic acid gels made from non-animal sources. As we age, the skin's natural hyaluronic acid is lost, giving rise to the appearance of lines, wrinkles and folds. Fillers are also used for lip enhancement and for shaping facial, hand and neck contours.

Here is how dermal filler treatment works:

1. Local anaesthetic is first administered to the area to prevent any discomfort.
2. The dermal filler is then injected, which only takes a few minutes.
3. The effect of the treatment is visible immediately.
4. Depending on the area treated, skin type and the injection technique, the filler effect can last between 6 and 12 months (usually six months for lips)
5. Follow-up treatments will help to maintain the plumped up look over time.
