Designed to help rejuvenate the skin and minimise the signs of ageing, dermal fillers are just one of the facial aesthetic treatments we offer at Ringway Dental.
Dermal fillers are a treatment that uses a substance called hyaluronic acid to help the skin appear firmer and more plump, while improving elasticity. They are a popular, non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to rejuvenate and enhance the contours of the face. They are ideal for those looking to reduce the signs of aging or improve facial symmetry. These injectable treatments provide immediate and impressive results, with minimal downtime.
Dermal fillers can smooth out wrinkles, restore lost volume, and sculpt facial features – offering a fresher, more youthful appearance. The fillers include substances that mimic the body’s natural compounds, such as hyaluronic acid. This means dermal fillers are safely absorbed over time, offering temporary yet long-lasting enhancements. There are different locations dermal fillers are often applied to:
Cheek fillers are a popular option as they offer a variety of appearance-altering effects. They can be used to restore lost volume within the face that may have depleted due to the impact of aging. They can also work to enhance your existing facial contours, creating an overall more youthful look.
Cheek fillers are ideal for those who have noticed the effects of aging within their face. As we age, our cheeks can lose some of their natural fullness, which leads to a sunken or flat appearance. Strategically placed fillers can lift and volumise the face and cheeks, enhancing symmetry and giving you a more pronounced cheekbone structure. As an added benefit, cheek fillers can help reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds and other wrinkles.
Lip fillers are designed to add volume and re-define the shape and symmetry of the lips. They can correct thin or uneven lips, providing a fuller, more defined appearance. Beyond just adding volume, lip fillers can also smooth out wrinkles around the mouth. This means they contribute to a more youthful appearance too.
The lip filling procedure allows for personalised results, as the application will be based on the existing shape of your lips and the specific aesthetic goals you’re aiming for. You could opt for a more full top lip to even out and match a plumper bottom lip, or decide you’d like to have a more defined cupid’s bow. From subtle enhancements to more dramatic volume increases, the application of lip fillers is specially tailored to work with and enhance your lips.
Jawline and chin fillers are used to sculpt and define the lower face. They are often an ideal non-surgical alternative to the intense surgeries used to correct jawline and chin issues. Jawline and chin fillers can work wonders – enhancing a weak jawline, improving the balance of facial features, and even reducing the appearance of a double chin.
For those seeking a more defined or masculine jawline, or a more proportionate chin, fillers provide a non-surgical and non-permanent solution. Following jaw surgery, many patients find their entire facial structure shifts, and some wish to reverse the procedure. Jawline and chin fillers are also a great way to test out some alterations to your face without making that irreversible commitment. They can also be used to correct asymmetries along the jawline or chin, helping you feel more confident with your appearance.
Tear trough fillers target the hollows that can appear under the eyes. They can happen for a range of reasons, from natural aging processes to genetics. As we age, the skin becomes thinner and therefore more translucent. Dark circles therefore often occur around the under-eye area, as the gradual loss of fat and supportive tissue leads to a sunken, darker appearance. These hollows can make people look especially tired, or much older than they are. Being genetically predisposed to having tear troughs or dark circles under the eyes can mean some patients develop them from a young age.
Dermal fillers in this area are used to reduce the appearance of under-eye bags and dark circles, plumping up the area and leading to a more rested look. The procedure must be performed with precision, considering the delicate nature of the under-eye skin. Properly administered, tear trough fillers can dramatically brighten the eye area and contribute to a more youthful appearance.
Marionette line fillers work to address the lines that run downwards from the corners of the mouth. These appear due to the loss of elasticity in the face and skin as we age, often giving us a downturned or unhappy expression. Fillers can be used to soften these unwanted lines, restoring a more neutral or positive resting expression.
By adding volume to this area, the skin appears smoother, and the lower face looks more harmonious and lifted. This treatment can significantly impact overall facial aesthetics, contributing to a happier and younger-looking appearance.
Nasolabial fold fillers target the two lines that run from the sides of the nose down to the corners of the mouth. Not everybody has nasolabial folds, as they can become more pronounced with age. As they become more defined, this can contribute to a tired or aged appearance.
Dermal fillers can be used to carefully smooth out these lines, restoring the lower face with a more refreshed and full appearance. The procedure involves the strategic application of precise injections along the folds, adding volume and reducing the depth of the creases. After the treatment, you’ll have a much smoother face around the treated area.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that our skin produces to keep it hydrated, and therefore firmer and fresher. A common ingredient in various skincare products, the skin stops producing hyaluronic acid as we age, which can contribute to the visible signs of ageing, such as sagging, and fine lines and wrinkles.
Common areas to focus on with dermal fillers include the cheeks, and around the nose and mouth. It can also be used under the eyes in a tear trough treatment and to improve marionette or smile lines. During your consultation, we can advise on the placement of the filler.
This non-surgical facial aesthetic treatment takes around 30 mins in the chair.
Most patients report the results from their dermal fillers lasting around 12 months on average.
