What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, designed to rejuvenate facial skin by restoring lost volume, smoothing lines, and enhancing facial contours. As a natural component of the skin, hyaluronic acid plays a crucial role in maintaining moisture, ensuring that the skin remains hydrated and voluminous. With age, the natural hyaluronic acid levels in our skin decrease, leading to the formation of wrinkles and a loss of facial volume. Dermal fillers effectively counteract these signs of ageing by reintroducing hyaluronic acid beneath the skin, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Facial Volume Loss

Many visible signs of ageing can be traced back to volume loss. As facial tissues thin out, lines become etched around the nose and mouth. Cheeks can start to look a little hollow. Dermal fillers can replace lost volume to help smooth wrinkles. A youthful midface is characterised by an upside-down triangle featuring high cheekbones,full cheeks, and a firm jawline.

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, typically made up of hyaluronic acid, and are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases. Sometimes they are used to enhance facial contours. The main function of dermal fillers is to retain water to keep the tissues well lubricated and moist.

How Can Dermal Fillers Enhance My Appearance?

While dermal fillers are casually known as “wrinkle fillers,” they can do much more than just smooth out wrinkles, although they are excellent at this!

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are a versatile treatment suitable for adults seeking to address various signs of ageing or enhance facial contours. You might be a good candidate if you:

  • Are looking to restore lost facial volume in areas like the cheeks or temples.
  • Wish to soften facial lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds or marionette lines.
  • Desire to enhance features like lips or improve the definition of your jawline or nose.
  • Are in good general health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes.
  • Understand the temporary nature of fillers and be prepared for maintenance treatments.

 

Dermal fillers may not be suitable for individuals with specific allergies (especially to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine, if present in the filler), active skin infections in the treatment area, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. To determine your suitability, Dr. Yousri will take a complete medical history during your consultation.

The Dermal Fillers Process

Your journey to rejuvenation is a collaborative process handled with the utmost care and professionalism at our Harley Street clinic.

1. Initial Consultation & Bespoke Assessment:

Your experience begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr Nadia Yousri. During this session, she will:

  • Listen carefully to your concerns and aesthetic goals.
  • Conduct a thorough assessment of your facial structure, skin quality, and areas of volume loss.
  • Discuss the most suitable type of dermal filler for your needs, explaining the benefits and any potential risks or side effects.
  • Answer all your questions comprehensively.

This vital step ensures we create a bespoke treatment plan tailored to achieve harmonious, natural-looking results that align with your expectations. We will also review your medical history to ensure dermal fillers are a safe option for you.

2. The Treatment Session:

The treatment itself is performed with precision and care in our clinical environment:

  • The targeted area will be cleaned, and a topical anaesthetic cream may be applied to enhance your comfort.
  • Dr. Yousri administers the dermal fillers using advanced, precise injection techniques, focusing on strategic placement for optimal lift and contouring.
  • The procedure is minimally invasive and typically completed within 30-60 minutes, depending on the treated areas. With minimal downtime, you can expect to return to most of your daily activities shortly after.

3. Aftercare and Follow-Up:

Post-treatment care is crucial for maximising your results and ensuring a smooth recovery. We provide:

  • Comprehensive aftercare instructions include skincare advice, what to avoid (e.g., strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure immediately post-treatment), and managing any temporary side effects like mild swelling or bruising.
  • A follow-up appointment is scheduled to assess your results and ensure your satisfaction. Regular maintenance sessions, typically every 6-18 months, depending on the filler and area treated, are recommended to sustain your revitalised appearance.

What can dermal fillers help with?

Lip Fillers in London

Plump, youthful lips are in growing demand but the ageing process can leave them looking thin and lined.
Lip augmentation with dermal fillers is a safe and effective treatment that
can enhance and balance the lips and surrounding area for a radiant and symmetric smile.

There are many types of dermal fillers that can be injected in your lips and around
your mouth. The commonly used products contain substances containing
hyaluronic acid. It is a natural substance found in the body which has the ability to attract water to keep the skin hydrated.

Lip filler can address the following issues:

  • Restore volume to thin or ageing lips
  • Smooth vertical lip lines
  • Improve symmetry between the upper and lower lip
  • Refine the shape of thin or flat lips

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (Nose Filler) in London

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty with injectable dermal fillers has become an increasingly popular alternative to surgical procedures because of its convenience, low risk, rapid recovery, and low cost.

The nose is a key feature to the balance of the face. It’s shape and size can have significant influence in the physical appearance. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a fantastic and affordable solution that can address the imbalance. The procedure is minimally invasive, and involves injecting fillers, most commonly containing hyaluronic acid.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty can help with:

  • A slightly crooked nose
  • Mild to moderate drooping nasal tip
  • A Small nose that needs building up
  • A Hook shaped nose
  • Amild to moderate bump on the bridge of the nose
  • Adding height,definition and a nose tip.

What to Expect During and After Your Treatment

During the Procedure:

Most patients find dermal filler treatments very tolerable. A topical numbing cream is often applied beforehand to minimise discomfort. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure as the filler is injected. Dr. Yousri prioritises your comfort throughout the session.

Immediately After:

You may experience some redness, swelling, or mild bruising at the injection sites. This is normal and typically subsides within a few days. You can usually resume most daily activities immediately, though we advise avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat (like saunas), and alcohol for the first 24-48 hours to minimise swelling.

Results:

You will often see an immediate improvement, with full results appearing once the swelling has settled, usually within 1-2 weeks. The longevity of your results will depend on the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual factors like your metabolism, typically lasting from 6 to 18 months.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While dermal fillers are generally considered safe when administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional like Dr Nadia Yousri, it’s essential to be aware of potential risks and side effects. Most are temporary and mild:

  • Common side effects: Bruising, swelling, redness, tenderness, or itching at the injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days to a week.
  • Less common side effects: Lumps or bumps under the skin (which can often be massaged or dissolved), asymmetry, or infection.
  • Rare complications: Allergic reactions and vascular occlusion (blockage of a blood vessel) require immediate medical attention. Dr. Yousri is trained to manage such complications.

During your consultation, Dr Yousri will discuss all potential risks and benefits in detail, ensuring you can make an informed decision. We take every precaution to minimise risks, including using high-quality, MHRA-approved products and sterile techniques.
