Dermal Fillers

Due to the unique formulation of the Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products, which includes an added anaesthetic, you'll enjoy the most comfortable treatment experience possible, in addition to immediate, lasting results!

After treatment, the lines on your face should appear minimised and smoothed out. If your treatment plan included lip enhancement, you'll notice that your lips appear fuller and more defined. If your plan included adding volume to your cheeks, you will notice that your cheeks look plumper, and your face looks younger. And, your results will last—the effects of treatment with the Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products have been shown to last up to 12 months!
The Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products is a new generation of hyaluronic acid fillers from ALLERGAN, a world leader in surgical and non-surgical aesthetic products. They use a specially formulated type of hyaluronic acid (HA) that exists naturally in your skin. It's a natural, biodegradable gel that flows easily and smoothly into your skin, instantly filling out those troublesome lines leaving a smooth and natural look and feel. So, you'll notice an immediate difference after just one treatment.

How does the Juvéderm® ULTRA line of products work to achieve its results?
Your skin is constantly under attack. Wind, sun, cold, pollution, fatigue, emotional changes, hormonal swings, and the simple passage of time all combine to wear away at its structure. And if that's not enough, your skin's natural moisture-retaining HA inevitably declines with age. This inevitable moisture loss creates lines around your lips and nose and reduces fullness around your cheek, jaw and lips, giving us an older, more tired look.

Fortunately, the The Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products can replace your skin's lost HA, moisturising your skin from the inside and helping to give it elasticity and tone. It can quickly restore your skin's lost volume and smooth away those facial lines. And, with its added anaesthetic, you'll have the most comfortable treatment experience possible.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What's the difference between Juvéderm® ULTRA and wrinkle-relaxing treatments?

The Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products and wrinkle-relaxing treatments (botulinum toxin type A) work in different ways.

The Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products mimics the hydrating and lifting effect of your skin’s natural hyaluronic acid (HA), which keeps the skin hydrated and elastic. It fills in and smoothes away facial lines and acne scars, other skin contour deficiencies, and lost volume. The most appropriate lines to treat with the Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products are those that are described as static—this means the deep facial lines you can see when your face is still. Static lines are due to lack of elasticity of the skin caused by sun damage, smoking, and unfortunately genetics. Wrinkle-relaxing treatments work in a targeted way to relax the tiny muscles that cause frown lines, smoothing out wrinkles for 4 months or longer.

What's the difference between the Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products and collagen injections?

Juvéderm® ULTRA is made of a substance called hyaluronic acid (HA), which is found naturally in the skin, alongside collagen. These two components of skin, along with some others, tend to break down over time, letting the tell tale signs of ageing show.

Collagen injections have been used for some time as dermal fillers to fill out the loss of skin volume, removing wrinkles and restoring volume to the face. HA fillers, such as the Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products have now become more popular because they last longer—in the case of the Juvéderm® family, up to 1 year whereas most collagen injections tended to wear off after around 4 months.

Because they play different roles in restoring your skin's natural look, the Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products may be used in combination with collagen to create the

What makes the Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products so special?

The Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products is the only line of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that offers customisable results proven to last up to 12 months. It's currently the only HA filler to include an anaesthetic that makes the experience more comfortable for you. It is also very smooth and natural looking, meaning that although people may notice a difference, they won't know you’ve had anything done!

What exactly is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found in the body that helps to hydrate and add volume to our skin. Natural hyaluronic acid is broken down by the body in one or two days so is constantly replaced—as we age this replacement mechanism diminishes so the moisturising and plumping effects of hyaluronic acid decrease. Hyaluronic acid is used for aesthetic treatments, and has been used by doctors for injection into arthritic joints to aid movement as well as eye surgery.

How long is an appointment?
The injection process takes a mere 15-30 minutes, you’ll also need to allow time to discuss what you are hoping to achieve with your medical practitioner before treatment.

Will the procedure hurt?
The smooth consistency of the Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products allows your medical practitioner to administer it easily and smoothly. It also contains 0.3% lidocaine to reduce injection pain for a more comfortable experience.

Will I notice the difference right away?
Yes, the aesthetic results are immediate. You'll see the results as soon as your appointment is over—and no one else needs to know!

Will I need to take time off work?
Absolutely not! You can have an appointment in your lunch hour then get right back to your normal routine.

Are there any side effects?
Following injection, you may experience slight redness, swelling or bruising at the injected area. Your medical practitioner must advise on this. Please be assured that these side effects should not last and, after waiting 12 hours following treatment, can be easily covered up with your usual makeup. However, do not hesitate to get in touch with your medical practitioner in the unlikely event that these reactions last longer than a week or if you experience other side effects. All skin injection procedures carry a small risk of infection.

How long will the effects last?
This depends on a number of factors including

Age
The area you have had treated
Quantity of Juvéderm® ULTRA injected
Quality of skin
Lifestyle
Healthiness

However, the Juvéderm® ULTRA range of products is the only line of HA fillers proven to last up to one year in nose to mouth lines.

Is there anything I need to know before I have the treatment?
We advise you to avoid using aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs a couple of days before your treatment (unless they are taken for chronic medical conditions). Avoiding these medications will reduce the risk of bruising and bleeding at the point of injection. Ask your medical practitioner if you have any concerns.

How much does treatment cost?
This is entirely dependent on what treatment you are having done, who is doing it and how much product is required. It is best to discuss this with an aesthetic medical practitioner. Alternatively see our price list page.
