If you want to look younger, more refreshed and less tired, you might like to try facial fillers. This safe, cosmetic treatment has the ability to turn back the clock by several years and give you a new found confidence in your facial appearance. Facial fillers have been used for cosmetic purposes since the 1980s, although the material used 30 years ago was less long lasting and less predictable, giving the skin an uneven appearance.

Thanks to modern techniques, facial filler treatment is now far more controlled. Invasive fat-transfer fillers require some downtime. They use poly-y-lactic acid which is extremely subtle, but firm, popular favourites remain the hyaluronic acid-based gel fillers we use here at the Aesthetics Lab.

You will get the look and results you’ve discussed with our experienced practitioner prior to treatment at our St Johns Wood clinic. You will look subtly more youthful and you’ll find your friends will inevitably comment on how ‘well’ you look.

What do facial fillers do?

Unlike wrinkle injections, facial fillers will not stop your muscles from contracting. Instead, they thicken areas of skin, where collagen levels have decreased, with the aim of making these areas look beautiful again. Sunken areas under the eyes can be plumped up to provide a more even facial contour, cheekbones can be enhanced with added volume, wrinkles and fine lines will be filled in to provide smoother skin, and thinning lips can be boosted and shaped.

With their ability to subtly alter the shape and contour of your face, as well as reduce skin laxity, facial fillers in the St Johns Wood area are being increasingly used instead of a more invasive surgical facelift procedure, to provide similar results.

Smooth facial lines

Fillers contain hyaluronic acid. When injected into the skin, they will soak up water from the body in order to plump up the skin from below. The local anaesthetic is applied to the injection site, prior to you receiving the filler, to ensure it is as pain-free as possible. Afterwards, you’ll be able to go straight back to work. There is no downtime. You may have a little redness, swelling or bruising, but this settles down very quickly.

As the hyaluronic acid-based facial fillers contain very small particles, they’re highly suitable for lips and delicate areas that require a large degree of control over the quantity administered, in order to avoid over-stuffing. Lips and cheekbones will be subtly but significantly highlighted. Their enhancement will be entirely natural looking.

Another additional benefit of hyaluronic acid-based facial fillers, such as those we administer here at the Aesthetics Lab clinic in St Johns Wood, is the non-invasive nature of the application. We are not taking fat from one area of your body to transfer it to another, as required by some filler procedures. We are simply giving you an injection in a clinical environment. It will take 10 minutes. The results will make you look rejuvenated in a natural way and last for six months.
