Dermal Filler Injections
Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic injectable treatment frequently used to correct scarring, wrinkles and other skin depressions at our clinics.
Dermal fillers can also enhance cheekbones, plump up the lips or smooth the contour of an uneven nose.
The area of injectable dermal fillers is unregulated. At LA we have identified individual practitioners with established track records and experience outside of the hospital setting.
Frequently asked questions
How do they work?
By introducing a HA under the skin, volume which has been lost through ageing will re-appear creating a smoother, youthful appearance. The HA will attract water to it further bringing hydration to the area leading to fresh, revitalized skin.
Who can prescribe and administer Dermal Fillers?
Currently Dermal Fillers do not have to be prescribed but this is likely to change in the near future for health and safety reasons. However they should always be administered by a practitioner with appropriate training, knowledge and experience.
Who can have Dermal Filler Injections?
Any adult who is clinically indicated and deemed fit to make an informed decision about the treatment and its associated risks.
Who can't have dermal filler injections?
Anyone with a previous allergic reaction to a Dermal Filler or someone with a allergy to Lidocaine (often added to fillers for the comfort of client). Pregnant or breast feeding mothers are also contraindicated to treatment.
