Dermal Fillers

At The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic we have an enormous experience in the use of fillers. In Europe there are about 100 various products available. The regulations covering these new products are fairly lax compared to those in the USA. We only use products with a proven safety record that are licensed by the FDA in the USA.

Injectable Fillers are used in a variety of ways. They can pump up thin lips, soften facial creases, improve contours and are used for a variety of other enhancements.  Injectable fillers soften skin and decrease the visible signs of aging and damage caused by exposure to the sun.  

There is now an excellent range of products available that can soften facial lines. The newer products are more effective and last longer.

 

We use the following fillers:

Juvederm

JUVEDERM, VOLUMA, HYDRATE are all manufactured by Allergan and are extremely effective and safe. The choice of product is dictated by the type of lines.  

Hydrate

HYDRATE is used as a rejuvenating agent in the skin of the décolletage or hands where there is a network of very fine lines.

Restylane

RESTYLANE, manufactured by Qmed is also available and again the choice of product is dictated on the type of line.   

All of the above products are various forms of Hyaluronic Acid which is a synthetic compound closely related to our own natural Collagen. The all have a temporary effect although they can last for more than 1 year.
