Dermal Filler FAQs
How Much are Dermal Filler Packages?
We offer a range of Dermal Filler Packages that can cost anywhere between £250 and £600. However, the actual price of the Face Filler Package will depend on your requirements and the treatment plan that is agreed upon consultation with one of our experienced practitioners. During the consultation, our practitioner will evaluate your specific needs and goals, and determine the amount of dermal filler that will be applied to the area to achieve the desired outcome. Based on this evaluation, our practitioner will then discuss the various Filler Packages that are available and the cost.
Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
Dermal filler treatments are a commonly used cosmetic treatment, and when administered by one of our qualified and experienced medical professionals, they are considered a safe and an effective option for restoring volume and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The majority of patients who receive dermal fillers experience minimal side effects, which are typically mild and temporary, such as slight swelling or bruising at the injection site. Overall, dermal fillers are a safe and widely used treatment for achieving a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Is Having Dermal Filler Painful?
The experience of receiving face filler injections can vary from person to person and the area of the face treated. Some individuals may experience only mild discomfort, while others may feel more intense pain or discomfort during the procedure. However, our practitioners use a numbing cream or local anaesthetic to help minimise any pain or discomfort that you may feel during the treatment. The needles used for face filler injections are very fine and cause minimal trauma to the skin, which can further reduce discomfort.
How Long Do Fillers Last?
The duration of the effects of facial fillers can vary depending on the type of filler used and the areas treated, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle habits. Most fillers last between 6-18 months before the body naturally metabolises and absorbs them. However, some fillers can last up to two years or more. The duration of the effects can also be influenced by the volume of filler used, as larger amounts may last longer than smaller amounts. To maintain the results of fillers, touch-up treatments may be required periodically. Our team of qualified practitioners can provide more specific information about the expected duration of results for the type of filler used during the initial consultation.
What is right for me, Dermal Fillers or Anti-wrinkle Injections?
Dermal fillers are typically used to add volume to the face, while anti-wrinkle injections are used to relax muscles and reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repetitive facial feature movements. At our bespoke consultation our practitioners will discuss patient expectations and offer the most suitable treatment.
PRP Facial FAQs
What Can I Expect During & After The PRP Facial Procedure?
During the PRP Facial treatment procedure, a small amount of blood will be drawn and then processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. The PRP is then injected into the skin using a fine needle. The procedure takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area. After the PRP Facial, you may experience some redness, swelling, and bruising in the treated area. These side effects are usually mild and temporary and typically resolve within a few days. You can resume normal activities immediately following the procedure, although it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for a few days.
How Long Does It Take for PRP Facial to Heal?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial is a cosmetic treatment that involves injecting your own plasma into the skin to improve its texture and appearance. The healing time after a PRP facial can vary depending on the individual, their skin type, and the extent of the treatment. Typically, you can expect some redness, swelling, and bruising for a few days after the procedure. The full healing process may take a week or two, during which time you are advised to avoid direct sunlight and use gentle skin care products. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our healthcare professionals who perform the procedure to ensure optimal healing and results.
Is PRP better than having anti-wrinkle injections?
PRP and anti-wrinkle injections are both cosmetic treatments for improving skin appearance, but they have different approaches. PRP involves injecting your own plasma to stimulate collagen production, while anti-wrinkle injections relax muscles to reduce wrinkles. The choice depends on your goals, with PRP being a more natural and long-lasting solution, while is the results from anti-wrinkle injections are temporary and need repeated applications. Our healthcare professionals can help determine which treatment is best for you.
What Will My Face Look Like After PRP?
After a PRP facial, expect some redness, swelling, and bruising in the treated areas. However, this is generally mild and resolves within a few days. Some patients also report a slight tingling or tightness sensation in the skin, which is a normal response to the treatment. Over time, the skin should begin to look brighter, smoother, and more youthful as the PRP stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our healthcare professionals who perform the procedure to ensure optimal healing and results. The full effects of the treatment may take a few weeks to become apparent.
How Often Should You Have a PRP Facial?
The frequency of PRP Facial treatment sessions varies from person to person and depends on individual goals and skin conditions. In general, three to four treatments are required about four weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every six to twelve months.
