We provide a range of volumetric filling agents to re-establish more youthful contours. Facial fillers such as Belotero ® , Restylane ® and Sculptra ® are used in the mid face typically, where aging is principally characterized by a loss of tissue volume. Fillers are also used to enhance lips that may have lost their definition as a result of ageing.

A session usually lasts from 30-45 minutes. Facial injections generally don’t require anaesthesia, whereas lip enhancement usually does. Treatment entails the injection of tiny amounts of a crystal clear gel into the skin via a very thin needle. The gel integrates with the surrounding tissue, resulting in a smooth and natural look. The effect of facial fillers is dependent on the individual in question, but usually they will last for between 6-12 months.

Side effects of facial fillers include swelling, bruising, redness, discomfort and inflammation, all of which typically resolve quickly. A very small number of patients have experienced localised reactions in the form of subcutaneous papules.
