Are Dermal fillers right for you?

What are Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our bodies which gives our skin volume and elasticity. Dermal Filler also includes lidocaine – a local anaesthetic, that helps to make the procedure more comfortable.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are temporary and can help to restore our youthful features. As we age, volume loss occurs due to fat, bone and other biological factors. Fillers are frequently used to enhance lips, replace volume
loss in cheeks, soften the nasolabial, marionette and smoker’s lines.

Dermal filler can also be used to create new facial contours. FaceUp works with harmony & balance in mind, to ensure that any augmentation will complement your unique face.
Injected in small amounts it will restore lost volume and enhance your facial shape.
The effect is immediate and will typically last from 6 to 24 months depending on the area of the face treated and type of dermal filler used. As hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved, unwanted results can be corrected.

What is Micro Needling will it work for me?

BOOK NOW

How does Micro Needling work?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Collagen is the protein that gives our skin its strength and structure.

These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which can improve the skin’s texture and appearance.

The 16 fine needles in the device cause micro injuries to the upper layers while gliding over the surface of your skin.

Microneedling (Dermal needling or Collagen Induction Therapy) is the perfect treatment for skin rejuvenation, reducing fine lines, pore size, improving skin texture and a more even skin tone. Microneedling has minimal downtime and is safe for all skin types and colours.

It’s a great treatment for acne-prone skin and acne scarring, reducing hyperpigmentation and skin discolouration. It can reduce the appearance of vessels beneath the skin and overall redness.

An excellent add on to your treatment is topical insulin which is known to have wound-healing properties. When applied topically, especially with micro needling, it can stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts, enhance collagen synthesis, and accelerate the healing process. Great long term results have been seen in the treatment of scarring when topical insulin is used.

Key benefits of Micro Needling include

Collagen Production

Microneedling stimulates the production of collagen, a crucial protein that provides structural support to the skin. This can lead to improved skin elasticity and firmness.

Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines

The increased collagen production helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in smoother and more youthful-looking skin.

Scar Reduction

Microneedling can be effective in reducing the appearance of scars, including those caused by acne, surgery, or injury. The process encourages the formation of new, healthier tissue.

Texture Improvement

Microneedling can enhance the overall texture of the skin by addressing issues such as roughness, large pores, and uneven skin tone.

Reduced Hyperpigmentation

Microneedling may help reduce hyperpigmentation issues, such as sunspots or melasma, by promoting a more even distribution of melanin in the skin.

Minimally Invasive

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that doesn’t require surgery. It is suitable for various skin types and can be performed on different areas of the body.
