FULL - FACE REJUVENATION WITH DERMAL FILLERS

In the delicate art of facial rejuvenation, dermal fillers stand out for their ability to restore volume and vitality with precision. My practice embraces this technique as a means to sculpt, define, and enhance your natural contours. By carefully placing these fillers, we can address areas that have lost their fullness over time, creating a harmonious and youthful appearance.

Full-face rejuvenations involve the injection of dermal fillers to revolumise the face and restore definition. In some cases the simultaneous use of muscle-relaxing injections to thin larger muscles (i.e. the masseters) may be performed to allow us to create a more youthful overall face shape.

Because the needs of the face change as we mature, it’s important that these age-related changes are tackled in an expert and bespoke fashion that respects the individuals anatomy.

During your detailed consultation we will thoroughly assess your face and take time to understand your aspirations, before recommending a bespoke treatment plan that will best empower you to achieve your goal.

What is full-face rejuvenation with dermal fillers?

Full-face rejuvenation with dermal fillers is a treatment designed to restore volume, definition, and youthfulness to the face. Dermal fillers are strategically injected to replenish areas that have lost fullness over time, enhancing natural contours and providing a harmonious, rejuvenated appearance.
Dermal fillers work by adding volume to areas of the face that have experienced sagging or a loss of fullness. These injections help sculpt and define the facial features, restoring a more youthful look. In some cases, muscle-relaxing injections may be used alongside fillers to address larger muscles, such as the masseters, for a more balanced face shape.
This treatment is suitable for individuals looking to restore volume and definition to their face as they age. During your consultation, we’ll assess your facial structure and listen to your goals to develop a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
The treatment typically takes around 30-45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Results can last anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on the type of dermal filler used and the individual’s skin and metabolism.
There is minimal downtime after the procedure. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately, though there may be some mild swelling or bruising in the treated areas, which typically resolves within a few days.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty involves expertly injecting filler into specific areas of the nose, subtly re-contouring its shape and smoothing out lumps and bumps.
