Fillers

Hyaluronic acid is a substance which occurs naturally within the body and skin. It is involved with water in the skin to create volume. After the age of 25 the body slows down its production of hyaluramic acid and water is lost which leads to volume loss with the skin thereby creating facial lines, folds and wrinkles. Restylane is a non-animal based stabilised Hyaluronic acid which once administered by injections under the folds and wrinkles joins forces with the body’s own Hyaluronic acid to create volume and lift up the wrinkle. ie. it is a ‘filler’.

Restylane is available in three forms:- Restylane ‘Fine Touch’ for fine lines and wrinkles (around mouth areas), Restylane for laugh lines and enhancing lips and Perlane for very deep lines and for facial augmentation. For wrinkle treatment, no anaesthetic is required but when enhancing the lips an anaesthetic in the form of a nerve block is required. After treatment there will be slight swelling, redness and bruising which subsides after a few days. Restylane lasts between six and twelve months for wrinkles, but around the lips may only last up to six months. Dr. Sagoo has trained in advanced techniques of Restylane using new products Restylane Vital and Restylane Sub-Q for facial contouring and augmentation. These products should be administered by a trained doctor only.

Injectable Facial Rejuvenation

Radiesse is a new type of inject able product for treating facial lines and wrinkles, restoring volume in and around the cheeks and providing lip definition.

It contains hydroxyapetite a compound that is naturally found in the bones of the body and is non-animal based meaning no allergic reaction. It gives more volume than other fillers and has a matrix that acts like ‘scaffolding’ to hold up the skin.

It’s main advantage is that it lasts up to 2 years and can be used to treat jowls, nose reshaping, chin definition as well as fine lines and wrinkles. It does not volumise lips. Dr Sagoo administers the product and will review after each treatment.

Like all inject able fillers swelling or redness can occur with mild bruising which is temporary and resolves completely.

Dr Sagoo is trained to carry out a whole range of injectable fillers for lip enhancements and facial augmentation. As there are over 50 different types of inject able fillers available Dr Sagoo will discuss the appropriate one at the initial consultation.
