If you would like to find a way to boost your self-esteem and minimise the appearance of your scars, consider dermal fillers Stockwell. Your scars could soon be a distant memory thanks to the results of this incredible cosmetic treatment.

Patients can also opt to have fillers around their nose, on the lines around their mouth as well as on their cheeks and lower and upper lip area.

What is involved in having fillers and how do they work?

Dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid and are soft tissue fillers which help to plump up your skin to create a fuller, more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are an efficient way to fill in facial lines that may appear for a variety of reasons. The filler helps to restore volume and create a plumper exterior for patients, which in turn results in a more youthful glow.

The cosmetic solution is inserted directly into the patient’s skin on the appropriate area using a fine needle. The solution is injected into the muscle located just beneath the surface of the skin. The treatment is generally pain-free, but may result in minor discomfort. Most patients have been known to experience a slight stinging sensation which settles soon after the treatment is completed. Some patients with sensitive skin may experience bruising following the treatment, but this usually resolves itself within a couple of days.

Enjoy younger looking skin with a plumper exterior

It’s common for people to experience visible lines forming on their face and this could be a result of several factors. People who smoke tend to develop lines around their mouth while in other instances many develop wrinkles simply from ageing. As we grow older it’s common for people to begin to lose the amount of collagen in their face. This could result in your skin losing its plumpness. Dermal fillers offer an excellent way to combat the visible signs of ageing.

How soon can I see the results of the treatment?

One of the main advantages of having cosmetic treatments such as dermal fillers is that the patient is able to notice an immediate difference. The full effects of the treatment can best be seen around 14 days after the treatment has taken place and will last as long as 3 to 6 months.

We recommend to patients to have a follow-up treatment after they begin to notice any fine lines re-appearing in order to maintain their youthful glow. With no downtime and no major pain or side effects, dermal fillers offer patients a powerful way of turning the clock back on natural ageing.

A lot of people think that getting dermal fillers Stockwell will involve some sort of surgery. This treatment is completely non-surgical and non-invasive, allowing you to alter your appearance without worrying about recovery time or having to have anaesthetic. At SW9 Dental we want everyone to feel good about their appearance, which is why we offer this straightforward treatment. People opt to have this treatment for a variety of reasons, from reducing the appearance of wrinkles to contouring. It can be used to treat a wide range of areas around the face and neck, meaning you can tailor your treatment to your needs and choose the areas that you wish to target. If you are unsure of which areas you want to have treated then we recommend that you book a consultation appointment with one of our practitioners. They will be able to inform you of how this treatment could benefit you and listen to the concerns that you have about your current appearance.

Target areas that are specific to you

Certain areas of your face will show signs of ageing more than others. Areas around your eyes, mouth and cheeks can all start to get wrinkles and the skin can appear thinner here than in other places. That being said, these three areas are amongst many others than you can have treated with dermal fillers Stockwell. Some people will want to reduce the appearance of frown lines on their forehead, whilst other people may want to have every area treated to help prevent the signs of ageing from occurring in the first place. The substance that is used to achieve your desired look is called hyaluronic acid, which is something that your body has a natural supply of from birth. Over time though this supply starts to diminish, so having this treatment will increase the amount of hyaluronic acid that is within your skin. The results produced will last for around six months, so you do not need to worry about being back and forth from our practice to maintain your new look. If you are among the few who are not happy with their results, then you don’t need to panic as the hyaluronic acid will dissolve naturally over time and your appearance will return to how it originally was.

A simple, quick treatment that can easily fit into your schedule

When you make the decision to get dermal fillers Stockwell you do not need to worry about having to book any time off work in order to recover, as there is no recovery time needed. The treatment itself will take less than an hour to complete, so this can easily slot into your day without interrupting the rest of it. You will be able to notice the results by the time that you are leaving our practice, too. Whilst there is no recovery time there may be minimal swelling or slight redness in the areas that you have had treated, but this usually goes down within a couple of hours. The fact that this treatment is so straightforward and quick means that it is perfect if you have an extremely busy schedule or want to pop in for a quick appointment to freshen up your look before an important event.

For many patients looking to turn back the hands of time, dermal fillers in Stockwell can be the ultimate answer.

We consider dermal fillers in Stockwell as the ideal facial cosmetic treatment to enhance one’s appearance quickly without interrupting a busy schedule. Don’t let the appearance of fine lines or sagging facial skin hang over like a cloud, influencing the way you see or feel about yourself.

It is always surprising to us to find that many patients still have misconceptions about this popular cosmetic treatment. We answer some of the concerns we hear time and time again at our dental clinic.

What our patients want to know most about dermal fillers

• Is Botox the same as a dermal filler?

By no means. While they both help to restore a youthful look, these are two different types of anti-ageing treatments. The key difference is what they are designed to do. The aim of Botox treatment is to target the movement of facial muscles that are responsible for creating wrinkles. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, work to plump up the volume of skin from below the skin’s surface to iron out wrinkles.

• At what age can one start receiving treatment?

There seems to be a variety of opinions on the age a patient can receive treatment, as this really depends on when an individual sees a reduction in collagen and elastin production. The typical intake of our patients starts from the age of 25.

• Do I need a registered medical professional to administer treatment?

A medical professional such as a dental practitioner is preferred for safe and effective treatments that provide the best results. Beauty salons, unlike dental clinics, are not regulated and there is no sure way to determine standards of practice.

A dentist has all the required knowledge and competencies needed to perform injectable treatments and to avoid exposing patients to risks that are greatly increased due to inexperience and lack of approved professional training. These risks can include scarring, infection and other types of damage to facial structures.

• What areas can the treatment be used on?

There are a number of facial areas that can be augmented with dermal filler treatments. These areas include lips, cheeks, under the eyes and areas around the mouth.

The cost of treatment will depend on the type of treatment plan a patient wants. Patients should consider the number of treatment areas and how much product is required for desired results.

Why choose SW9 Dental for your facial aesthetic treatments? We ensure that we only use market-leading products that provide our patients with the best results for their anti-ageing goals.

The first rule of the facial aesthetics club is that you don’t talk about facial aesthetics club, and your face must not give your secret away either. No one wants anyone to know that they’ve had ‘work’ done. Your treatment must be effective and yet so subtle and enhancing that people just think you must have had lots of great sleep and kale smoothies.

That’s the look we go for when you come to us at SW9 Dental for dermal fillers. It’s also why, as dentists, we are far more likely to be able to create a youthful look. Our years of experience with careful injections, plus our in-depth knowledge of the anatomy of the face, head and neck mean that we will create a natural, youthful look for you. There’s no danger of us being so heavy-handed with the fillers that you look like a hamster with a hearty meal stored in its cheeks.

What are dermal fillers?

Most people have heard of dermal fillers, but may not know exactly what they are made of or how they work. Here at SW9 Dental in Stockwell, we use dermal fillers that contain hyaluronic acid as their active ingredient. This is an acid that is naturally produced in the body. Its function is to retain moisture in cells, giving the skin that plumped out, dewy look. Unfortunately, we produce less and less hyaluronic acid after around the age of 30 and its loss is one reason why the skin becomes papery as we age.

Dermal fillers plump out wrinkles on the face, neck and also the back of the hands, making you look more youthful. Areas on the face that respond really well include around the eyes and also lines between the nose and the mouth and the mouth and the chin. Lips can also be plumped up, as they tend to flatten out as we age.

Dermal fillers are not a permanent treatment. They tend to last around a year, although only about 6 months for the lips. This means you can give them a try and, if you don’t like them, they will fade away. If you do, you can top up your treatments.

If you are longing to get away from the UK winter and regain a healthy glow instead of looking tired out, but you can’t afford the time off, a great solution is to lift your spirits by smoothing out wrinkles and deep lines with dermal fillers.

If you live in Stockwell, dermal fillers are available on your doorstep, at SW9 Dental. Why not pop into for an instant pick-me-up? You could be in and out and looking fabulous in no time.

Unlike Botox, which takes effect over about a week, dermal fillers are an instant facial aesthetics treatment. You walk into see SW9 Dental, and shortly afterwards walk out again looking like you’ve just had a really great holiday.

There are several brands of dermal fillers available, and we use one that delivers hyaluronic acid by injected, controlled doses to just under the surface of skin to fill out the sunken areas and lines and so achieve a firmer, smoother, refreshed appearance. The results can last from six months to two years, depending on the type of dermal filler used.

What happens during a treatment with dermal fillers?

Our qualified practitioners inject your dermal fillers directly into the skin using an ultrafine needle. Before the injections, we clean the area and prepare it with a numbing cream to ensure that you experience only minor discomfort.

Using dermal fillers helps to plump up the skin, smoothing out lines and wrinkles. If you are having your lips or facial contours treated, the filler gives a fuller, fresher appearance by adding volume and restoring shape.

Treatment with dermal fillers normally takes no more than half an hour, depending on the area treated, and you can leave the clinic as soon as you feel ready and get on with your day.

After your treatment, you may experience a minor amount of swelling. This is normal and will quickly dissipate, taking no longer than 48 hours.

Depending on the type of dermal fillers you use, the results will last between six months and two years. And top up treatments can maintain your new, youthful appearance.
