dermal filler

As we age, the natural process of collagen and fat loss in our skin can lead to the formation of lines, folds, and wrinkles. Dermal fillers have become an effective option to address these common signs of aging. This treatment involves the injection of a gel-like substance into the skin to soften and contour lines, folds, and wrinkles. At our clinic, our experienced practitioners use dermal fillers to revitalize skin, restoring a more youthful and radiant appearance.

At Naomi Waite Aesthetics, we offer a range of dermal filler treatments that can address various areas of concern. These include sunken cheeks, deep lines from the mouth to the nasal area, thin lips, and sagging skin around the jowl area. Our clinicians use only the highest quality dermal fillers that have been approved for use in the UK. These fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the skin that helps to provide structure and volume. By injecting injectable HA filler into the skin, we can temporarily replace the lost hyaluronic acid and add subtle volume, lift, and plumpness to the treated areas.

It is worth noting that dermal fillers provide temporary results with effects lasting between 6 months to 18 months. The duration of the treatment depends on various factors, including the type of filler used, the treated area, and individual factors such as age, lifestyle, and genetics. After the filler has been absorbed back into the body, a top-up treatment may be necessary to maintain the desired results. During your consultation, our practitioners will guide you on the most suitable treatment for your goals and help you manage your expectations. We believe in transparency and honesty, and will always give you a realistic idea of what to expect from the treatment.

Dermal Filler Treatment

 Discover the transformative power of dermal fillers, enabling you to enhance, restore, and define your natural features. From plumping lips to accentuating cheeks, our range of fillers offers a customisable solution for a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Experience the lifting, tightening, and hydrating benefits of these treatments, bringing out your inner radiance.

Explore the following types of dermal filler treatments we provide:

Cheek fillers 

Over time, our skin naturally loses facial volume and elasticity, resulting in a tired and less youthful appearance. This is due to a decrease in hyaluronic acid within the skin.

However, there is a solution – cheek fillers. These fillers help restore lost volume and bring back a youthful curve to your cheeks, enhancing your facial contours. By injecting filler into the desired areas, cheek fillers not only provide a subtle lifting effect, but also deliver natural-looking results.

With the help of dermal fillers and specifically formulated cheek fillers, individuals looking for fuller cheeks can now enjoy a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance.

Lip fillers 

Lip fillers are a popular cosmetic procedure that can enhance the appearance of your lips, giving them a juicy, hydrated, and fuller look. This is achieved through a series of injections using dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid, which not only adds volume to the lips but also smoothes out wrinkles.

One of the benefits of lip fillers is their ability to create a more symmetrical appearance or achieve a desired lip shape. For instance, they can add fullness to the top lip or create a distinct cupid’s bow. Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a more noticeable change, lip fillers offer a versatile solution to help you achieve your desired look.

Nasolabial and marionette lines

Dermal fillers are commonly used to tackle nasolabial and marionette lines, making it one of the most popular treatments in this category. This fantastic procedure effectively plumps the jowl lines and provides a lifting effect to the sides of the mouth. By opting for this treatment, you can literally take years off your face, rejuvenating your appearance.

Jawline & Chin Fillers 

For those who are looking to contour their faces and achieve a more defined profile, jawline fillers are the ideal choice. The product is strategically injected along your jawline and chin area to create smoother lines and have a chiseled look. With this treatment, you can finally get rid of that double-chin without going through surgery or any other invasive technique.

Tear Trough Fillers

As we age, it’s common to notice changes in our appearance, such as dark circles under the eyes and bags that seem to worsen over time. These changes occur due to the thinning of the skin and soft tissue around the eye area.

The tear trough, located below the eye, can make us appear tired even when we’re well-rested if it appears hollow. But don’t worry, we have a solution! Our tear trough treatment is a fantastic way to address this issue and leave you looking fresher and more youthful. You’ll be amazed by the almost immediate improvement you’ll see, with a reduction in the depth and width of the tear trough itself. Say hello to a rejuvenated look!

                                           

ADVANCED DERMAL FILLER TREATMENT

CANNULA FILLER

For utmost safety during your treatment, we prioritise the cannula method whenever possible. Here’s how it works: a small introducer needle creates an entry point for the cannula. The cannula is then carefully inserted into the puncture site and moved along the natural planes of skin tissue. This technique allows for placing the dermal filler across a larger area through a single entry point, resulting in a smoother and more flawless appearance.

Compared to traditional needles, the cannula approach offers several advantages. First and foremost, it is less painful as it involves fewer entry points. Additionally, the risk of bleeding, bruising, and swelling is significantly reduced. Unlike needles that can potentially penetrate a vein or artery, cannulas have blunt tips that generally push these obstacles aside, minimising the chances of complications. The decreased swelling and bruising also contribute to a faster recovery time, allowing patients to resume their normal routine immediately after treatment.

By opting for the cannula method, we strive to provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible. The use of cannulas not only ensures a smoother and more flawless appearance but also minimizes discomfort and potential risks associated with traditional needles. The reduced number of entry points, along with the blunt tips of cannulas, leads to less pain, bleeding, bruising, and swelling. With minimal recovery time, our patients can quickly return to their daily activities without interruption.

RUSSIAN LIP FILLER TECHNIQUE

The Russian lip technique has become the latest trend in lip augmentation, offering a modern and contemporary look to the lips without compromising volume and lift. Unlike traditional techniques, the Russian lip technique focuses on injecting tiny droplets of filler vertically into the lip, giving it a fuller and plump appearance. This innovative approach avoids the risk of migration and overfilling, resulting in a beautifully balanced side profile.

If you haven’t had previous lip filler treatments, the Russian lip technique is highly recommended. It allows for natural or structured results, widening, lifting, and opening the lip body without compromising projection. However, for those who have had previous filler treatments, we suggest dissolving the previous filler before the Russian Lip treatment. Our experts will discuss the best course of action during your consultation visit, ensuring optimal results. If you decide to remove the previous filler, we advise doing so at least two weeks before the Russian lip treatment.

It’s important to note that the Russian lip technique requires more time and precision during the injection process. This attention to detail promotes seamless results, although there may be slightly more downtime compared to a usual lip filler treatment due to swelling and bruising. Rest assured that these temporary side effects will settle down without any concerns. Additionally, the longevity of Russian lip fillers is similar to that of traditional lip fillers, as the difference lies solely in the technique used.

LIQUID RHINOPLASTY

Liquid Rhinoplasty is a non-surgical procedure that offers a solution for individuals unhappy with the shape, minor bumps, or drooping tip of their nose. Unlike traditional Rhinoplasty surgery, Liquid Rhinoplasty involves the use of injectable fillers to correct minor deformities, such as saddle nose or prominent humps, and address issues with proportions.

Using the utmost safety and effectiveness, liquid fillers are skillfully injected to shape and sculpt the patient’s nose, resulting in a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The procedure is not only minimally invasive but also requires virtually no downtime, making it a convenient option for those seeking to enhance their nasal features.

If you have made the decision to have dermal filler treatment at Naomi Waite Aesthetics, congratulations on taking the first step towards achieving the youthful and radiant appearance you desire. We understand that every client wants to ensure they get the best possible results from their treatment. That’s why we suggest following these pre care guidelines to help ensure optimal results and comfort during and after your visit.

1. Consultation: Before any treatments are carried out, we recommend that you book a consultation with us. This is to ensure that we fully understand your needs, expectations, and that we can tailor the treatment to your unique needs.

  • Inform Your Practitioner:
    Please inform your practitioner of any medications, allergies, or pre-existing conditions you may have. This will ensure that your practitioner is aware of any potential risks and can adapt your treatment accordingly.

2. Preparation: Prior to your treatment, please follow any instructions given in the pre-treatment letter you will receive from us. This may include drinking water before the procedure or avoiding certain medications and supplements.

3. Clean Skin: Please ensure that your skin is clean and free of any makeup prior to treatment as this allows for easy access and optimal results.

2. Avoid Blood Thinners: It is advised that you avoid taking blood thinners (such as aspirin) for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. This helps to reduce the risk of bruising.

3. Prepare Your Skin: On the day before, you should avoid using harsh scrubs or exfoliators in the area where the dermal filler will be injected. This is to avoid irritation and sensitivity on the skin.

4. Hydration: Keeping your skin hydrated is vital before and after the treatment. Drinking plenty of water before your appointment can help to keep your skin supple and ensure that the filler is distributed evenly.

5. Avoid alcohol: It is vital to avoid alcohol consumption in the 24 hours before your appointment as this can increase your risk of bruising and swelling.
