Who shouldn’t be treated with the Dermal Filler range of anti-ageing treatments? There is no upper or lower age limit for anti-ageing treatment with the Dermal Filler range of products (except for children), but those patients with very thin skin will need different treatment than those with thicker skin. Dermal Fillers are colourless gels injected into the skin. Your medical cosmetic practitioner will be able to advise on whether you are well-suited for treatment, and which product is best for which indication.

The treatment will be carried out by Kevin Loughlin D.C., BSc (Hons), BSc (Chiro), RGN, a Medically Certified Cosmetic Practitioner. He has over 22 years experience working in both the NHS and Private Practice.

Kevin has the relevant training and experience required to ensure that you receive the very best of care and attention. As well as administering treatments, he is also highly qualified to advise on what is the most appropriate treatment plan for each of his patients.

You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment. You will receive verbal and written after care information relating to how best to look after the treated area.

Because Juvederm Ultra and Restylane gels both contain anaesthetic agents they keep discomfort to a minimum. A topical (applied to skin) anaesthetic cream will also be used to further improve comfort during the treatment.

Restylane and Juvederm Ultra gels are the most popular facial fillers used in the world today and more than 10 million treatments have been carried out since the launch of Restylane in 1996.

Both Juvederm Ultra and Restylane are Hyaluronic Acid (HA) gels. HA naturally occurs throughout the human body in the connective tissue of our skin and along with collagen forms the building blocks of healthy tissues but is quickly used and resorbed. Juvederm Ultra and Restylane HA’s have been stabilized and are known as NASHA gels (non animal sterilized hyalinuronic acid gels). With a safety profile of less than 1:20,000 patients experiencing a hypersensitivity, Restylane and Juverderm Ultra HA’s are regarded worldwide as the global benchmark of proven quality, efficacy and safety with 10 million treatments as further testimony to their pedigree.

Possible side effects:

• Occasionally there may be some bruising at the site of injection, normally this clears several days after treatment.
• If you are prone to cold sores then it is advisable to use a relevant cold sore cream for 1 week before treatment.
