Dermal Fillers - Overview
Before 15 Minutes Later!
Dermal fillers are a safe and instant treatment to reduce facial lines and wrinkles. These lines and creases typically begin to appear after the age of 25 and are caused by the natural breakdown of collagen and elastin fibres as we age. This natural breakdown is accelerated by factors such as smoking, sun exposure, stress and poor diet.
Dermal filler treatment is available in the UK from botonics at our prestigous Harley Street clinic, in the heart of London's private medical district.
Cosmetic fillers have grown to be one of the most popular anti-ageing/beauty treatments available today because they result in an instant and natural looking beauty lift with very little down-time (typically a day or so of mild redness and swelling). Most popular areas to treat are the nose-to-mouth lines (i.e. nasolabial folds), lips, around mouth, cheeks and between the eyebrows (i.e. glabella).
Today's wrinkle reduction treatments have come a long way from the first-generation collagen injections. Using products such as hyaluronic acid based fillers, there is virtually no risk of allergic reaction and the results are much longer lasting.

Brands of Dermal Filler
There are a huge variety of fillers on the market today. At botonics, we usually use the most popular brands, but if there is something specific you'd prefer please let us know and we will probably be able to use it for you.
Most fillers used today are Hyaluranic Acid derived because these are very safe with virtually no risk of allergic reaction. HA fillers typically last from 5 to 12 months, depending on the product used, where it is injected and your own metabolism.
The most popular brands of fillers we use include:
-
Restylane and Restylane Lido with Hyaluronic Acid from Q-Med,
-
Perlane and Perlane Lido with Hyaluronic Acid from Q-Med,
-
Restylane Sub-Q with Hyaluronic Acid from Q-Med,
-
-
Radiesse with Calcium Hydroxylapatite from Bioform Medical,
New fillers are launched all the time, and we are often involved in their clinical trials so if there's something new you'd like to try, chances are we've got experience in using it.
The Dermal Filler Treatment
At your free consultation, the doctor will review your detailed medical history and advise whether Dermal filler treatment is appropriate for you. Most people are keen to get their lines and wrinkles reduced as soon as possible. We are usually able to do the treatment on the same day as your consultation if you wish to proceed.
A topical anaesthetic is applied, and we wait for it to take full effect (about 30 minutes). The Dermal filler gels is then injected into the skin under the lines and wrinkles. There is only a mild discomfort because of the anaesthetic, especially if we're using one of fillers that include an additional anaesthetic within the product (e.g. Restylane Lido, Perlane Lido, Juvederm Ultra Sensitive). The injections only take about 10 - 20 minutes.
The wrinkle filler generally lasts about 5 - 12 months with Hylauronic Acid fillers and about 18 - 24 months with Calcium Hydroxylapatite fillers. The filler is gradually broken down over time and safely eliminated through the body's natural metabolic processes.
