Dermal Fillers
At Persona in Bexley we have been creating youthful looks for many years, always delighting our dermal fillers clients who come from Bexley, Sidcup, Dartford, Swanley, Gravesend, Orpington, Bromley, and from further into Kent. We also have clients who come from many parts of London, Surrey, and Essex.
The fillers we use at Persona have been specifically chosen for their clinical proven versatility, safety and efficacy and we only use approved brands such as Restylane, Juvederm Ultra, Radiesse and Belotero with prices starting from as little as £225.
Our chosen range of fillers allows you the choice to have as much or as little treatment as you wish, ranging from a specific area through to your whole face. Your skin will look plumper and firmer, resulting in a younger looking and more radiant you – but no-one will quite know why!
How Dermal fillers help you
Youthful skin is naturally rich in hyaluronic acid and collagen, but as we age, production of these substances becomes less efficient. This leads to loss of support and firmness in the skin, and the appearance of lines. Dermal fillers work by replacing these lost substances, hence filling lines, restoring volume and rejuvenating your skin, giving it a youthful, plumper and more radiant appearance.
Studies have shown that having dermal filler procedures can actually increase your own natural collagen production, slowing down the ageing process. This is why our clients return to us time after time.
Dermal filler procedures are hugely popular worldwide and at Persona we use them to treat the following concerns:
FACE
- Lines & wrinkles
- Jowels
- Lips
- Sculpting & volumising
- Eyes (eyelids & eye bags)
- Sagging skin
BODY
- Chest
- Hands
Further information about dermal fillers
The choice of fillers available at Persona includes the following brands:
- Restylane®
- Juvedérm®
- Belotero
- Radiesse
The fillers Restylane, Juvederm and Belotero are made up of hyaluronic acid, a product that is naturally found in the skin and is naturally broken down by the body. Results from these types of fillers last between 6-10 months depending on the treatment area and the individuals ability to break down product. All fillers are painlessly injected into the skin via very fine needles and produce immediate results. We offer a range of fillers to enable us to choose the correct product for the right indication to target your specific needs.
The aesthetic outcome as well as longevity can be improved through regular treatment and results can be further enhanced when used in combination with other treatments.
The dermal fillers Restylane, Juvederm Ultra & Belotero can be used to:
- Smooth frown and forehead lines
- Elevate and shape the brow
- Rejuvenate the under eye area
- Reshape the nose
- Plump and fill facial lines, wrinkles and creases
- Improve lip shape and definition
- Add natural fullness to lips
- Enhance facial and lips symmetry
- Lift and plump facial contours
- Define the chin and jaw line
RADIESSE : For a natural, youthful look!
The ideal way to achieve wrinkle reduction is by replenishing lost volume. With RADIESSE wrinkle filler, you welcome back your own natural collagen to smooth out the signs of ageing. That's because RADIESSE wrinkle filler's unique formulation stimulates collagenesis – the production of new collagen – which results in increased volume for natural-looking wrinkle correction that may last a year or more in many patients. It's also why more and more cosmetic surgeons, aestheticians, and other medical professionals are choosing RADIESSE wrinkle filler for long-lasting facial rejuvenation.
Here are some of the many reasons to choose Radiesse dermal filler – the innovative injectable that:
- Restores a youthful look in less than an hour
- Is 100% biocompatible; no allergy testing needed
- Gives immediate results, requiring little or no recovery time
- Stimulates own collagen production; so results last longer
- Feels soft and looks natural
- Lasts 12 months or longer in many patients
- Is 100% biodegradable, and absorbed naturally by the body
- Is very effective and safe
- Has received high satisfaction scores from current users
- Allows an easy and convenient procedure
FAQ’s
A. Dermal fillers are sterile gels used to plump up areas of the skin, helping them look firmer and restoring the skin’s former youthful appearance.
A. Treatments take about 20 minutes.
A. This will depend on the type of filler used and the structure of your skin, plus factors such as lifestyle and age etc. Hyaluronic acid products such as Restylane and Juvederm typically last 6-12 months and Radiesse typically lasts 12-18 months. Additional touch-up treatments can be performed at any time after the initial treatment.
A. The filler is injected with a very fine needle under the skin surface.
A. An anaesthetic cream is applied to the area for 30 minutes prior to your treatment. Any discomfort is therefore minimal. For lip treatments, an anaesthetic nerve block is used, which is similar to a dental injection.
A. Dermal fillers produce instant results and although you may experience some redness and swelling at the sites of injection, these will subside within 24 - 48 hours. With any injectable procedure there is always a possibility of some temporary bruising.
A. All clients will attend an initial consultation at which your medical aesthetic practitioner will advise whether you are suitable for treatment. Anyone who is pregnant or breast feeding is not suitable for treatment.
