Treatments

Our surgeons have expert knowledge of facial anatomy and the strategic use of dermal fillers, whether alone or alongside surgical procedures. We prioritise safety, using non-permanent hyaluronic acid-based products like Juvederm to achieve natural-looking results. Treatments can address wrinkles, folds, and volume loss, including lip enhancement, nasolabial folds, jawline refinement, and cheek augmentation, with each plan tailored to your features and goals for subtle, precise, and confidence-boosting results.

Dermal Fillers Aftercare

After your dermal filler treatment, it’s important to protect your skin and allow the filler to settle for the best results. Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas, and keep hands clean to reduce the risk of infection. Refrain from applying makeup for at least 12 hours, and avoid vigorous exercise, extreme temperatures, or other facial procedures such as facials, chemical peels, or laser treatments for at least two weeks. Following these guidelines helps ensure optimal healing and natural-looking, long-lasting results.
