Dermal Filler products used by The Fountain Clinic in Lytham St. Annes
As you get older you tend to lose both structure and volume in the face. There are 2 main important substances in the skin that have a role in keeping the skin looking smooth and young;
Dermal fillers are a versatile product that is injected into the dermis of the skin and contains a synthetic non animal based version of hyaluronic acid. It is precisely placed into specific areas of the face to replace lost volume or to enhance your natural shape in areas such as the lips.
To prevent the filler from being broken down too quickly, the hyaluronic acid is stabilised into a gel by cross linking the molecules. Over time however the fillers are naturally absorbed by the body. This generally occurs over a period of 6-12 months depending on the area treated.
Popular areas for treatment are smile/laugh lines (nasolabial folds from the nose to the corner of the mouth), marionette lines (vertical lines from the corners of the mouth down towards the ground) and lip augmentation.
There are a number of different dermal filler products on the market (e.g. Juvederm®, Restylane, Teosyal, Emervel). Here at the Fountain Clinic however we only use Juvederm® produced by Allergan as we believe it to be the safest and most reliable product to achieve the best results for our clients.
At your free consultation you will spend time with nurse Leyla, who will discuss the look you wish to achieve, ask about your medical history, previous aesthetic treatments and lifestyle and will briefly examine your face and skin. We will make recommendations on the best treatments for you to achieve your goals. The details of treatment will be explained to you along with the possible side effects. This will all be entirely confidential and there is absolutely no obligation to proceed with treatment. Here at The Fountain Clinic we only want to treat people who are certain that they are getting the right treatment by the right people at the right time.
If you do wish to proceed however we would be happy to perform the treatment after the consultation or at a time in the future to best suit you.
After cleansing your skin, the area to be treated will be carefully assessed. Using a very fine needle the filler injections will be placed directly into the areas that you have decided to have treated. The area will then be smoothed and massaged. A small amount of discomfort may be experienced by some clients during filler injections. We will do all we can to minimise this, topical anaesthetic cream is available and most of our filler injections contain local anaesthetic to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. Depending on the treatment areas you have chosen you should expect to be with us for around 15-30 mins.
