Skin Fillers
What is Dermal Filler?
Dermal fillers are Hyaluronic based and are used to soften and
contour lines, folds, and wrinkles. The solution is injected into
the skin to add volume and create a more youthful appearance.
Are There Many Different Types of Dermal Fillers?
At Enhance UK we only use the best dermal fillers sourced from
Allergan, a world leader in facial aesthetics.
The JUVÉDERM® family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers
provides a smooth, long-lasting correction of moderate to severe
facial wrinkles and folds.
JUVÉDERM® is the first smooth consistency gel formulation
and only hyaluronic acid dermal filler approved by the FDA to
last up to one year from initial treatment.1 JUVÉDERM®
is developed using the proprietary HYLACROSS™ technology,
an advanced manufacturing process that results in a malleable,
smooth gel that flows easily and consistently into the skin and
provides a predictable result. All other hyaluronic acid dermal
fillers currently on the market have a granular consistency gel.
These granules can be seen under 2.4x magnification as opposed
to the smooth consistency gel of the JUVÉDERM® dermal
fillers.
In 2010, the FDA approved JUVÉDERM® XC formulated
with the local anesthetic lidocaine to provide patients with a
more comfortable injection experience when compared to the non-lidocaine
formulation, and potentially less time spent in the physician’s
office. JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC and JUVÉDERM®
Ultra Plus XC contain 0.3% preservative-free lidocaine and numb
the treatment area within seconds, potentially reducing the need
for an additional anesthetic. JUVÉDERM® XC products
provide the same smooth, long-lasting results as demonstrated
with existing JUVÉDERM® products.
To provide physicians with the flexibility to tailor each treatment
to the specific needs of the patient, the JUVÉDERM®
family of dermal fillers include JUVÉDERM® Ultra and
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC with lidocaine, highly cross-linked
formulations for more versatility in contouring and volumizing
of facial wrinkles and folds; and JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus
and JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC with lidocaine, more highly
cross-linked robust formulations for volumizing and correction
of deeper folds and wrinkles.
Ask your doctor if JUVÉDERM® is right for you.
Is the procedure painful?
There is some discomfort. The product is injected into the skin
with a very fine needle and patients are treated with a topical
aesthetic to numb the area to be injected.
Can I have the treatment and go back to work?
Yes. Some patients may experience some redness and swelling which
can be minimized with cover-up makeup.
Can something go wrong?
The most commonly reported side effects are temporary injection-site
redness, swelling, pain/tenderness, firmness, lumps/bumps, and
bruising. Most side effects are mild or moderate in nature, and
their duration is short lasting (7 days or less).
How much does the procedure cost?
Treatments start at £250. Most treatments cost approximately
£250 to £300, it is dependent on the amount of filler
required.
