Thankfully, modern aesthetic treatments offer a range of solutions to combat these changes and help restore and enhance your facial profile. One of the most popular and effective treatments is the use of dermal fillers, a treatment that The LUXE Clinique specialises in.

Ageing and facial features

As we age, several key changes occur in our face. Understanding these changes is essential to appreciate how dermal fillers can restore individual features to rejuvenate the appearance of your facial profile:

Cheeks

As we age, the volume of natural fat pads in our cheeks begins to break down causing a sunken appearance that diminishes the V shape associated with youth.

This volume loss can make the face look tired and aged. Additionally, the skin loses its elasticity, leading to sagging, laxity and the enhancement of nasolabial folds (lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth).

Dermal Fillers Solution:

Dermal fillers can be used to restore lost volume to the cheeks by providing structural support.

Through the application of strategic injections into the outer and middle portion of the face, fillers can re-establish the slender contour along your cheekbones, reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds and lift the natural tissues.

When applied alongside other treatments, cheek enhancement can result in a more balanced facial shape.

Temples

The temples are often overlooked in discussions about ageing, but they too experience volume loss over time. Often, this results in a hollow or sunken appearance that is distinct from other indicators of tiredness.

Volume loss in the temples can also affect the overall harmony of the face, as the transition between the forehead and the rest of the face becomes less smooth.

Dermal Fillers Solution

Injecting dermal fillers into the temples can restore lost volume, creating a smoother and more youthful shape. This subtle enhancement can significantly improve the overall balance and proportion of the face. The procedure can also help lift the outer corners of the eyebrows and reduce crow’s feet, providing a more open and refreshed appearance to the eyes.

Jawline

The jawline is impacted by many complex changes throughout the process of ageing including bone loss, fat redistribution and skin laxity. Many people believe that the loss of volume in this area combined with the laxity to be the most devastating difference in their appearance.

A defined jawline is often associated with a youthful contoured face, and dermal fillers can be used to both restore and enhance this facial feature to allow you to feel more confident.

Dermal Fillers Solution

Dermal fillers can be used to sculpt and contour the jawline. By injecting fillers along the jawline, medical practitioners can create sharpness, reducing the appearance of sagging skin and jowls.

Jawline contouring can likewise be applied to add definition and structure if you are unhappy with the natural shape of your jaw.

AtThe LUXE Clinique, we provide Jawline Contouring that is achieved through accurate placement of an appropriately selected hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler at the angle of the jaw, to generate a balanced facial profile from all angles.

Nose

The nose can undergo several changes with age, including a loss of definition, the appearance of bumps or indentations, and a downward shift of the nasal tip. These changes can affect the overall harmony of the face and make other signs of ageing more pronounced.

Dermal Fillers Solution

Dermal fillers offer a safe and effective way to address minor imperfections in the nose without the need for surgery. Fillers can be used to smooth out bumps, enhance the bridge, and create a more symmetrical and balanced appearance.

This procedure can significantly reduce imbalances in the facial features, providing a more attractive and youthful look.

Chin

A weak chin refers to a chin that is set back into the face which is not desirable in a female facial profile. This can be caused by many factors including genetics and the effects of a traumatic injury or surgical intervention.

Volume loss and skin laxity can further exacerbate a weak chin.

Dermal Fillers Solution

Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the projection and shape of the chin, providing better facial symmetry. By strategically injecting fillers into the chin area, practitioners can create a more proportional profile. This enhancement can complement other facial features, and naturally boost the appearance of the lips and cheeks.

However, if a weak chin is caused by a significant change to bone structure of your jaw, then it may be more appropriate to seek  surgery before consulting a non-surgical doctor about dermal fillers.

Lips

It is widely acknowledged that lips have been the object of desire throughout history and, as such, thin or ageing lips can decrease confidence and a simple non-surgical filler in this area can lift the entire appearance of the face.

Unfortunately, lips are particularly susceptible to thinning over time as well as the development of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.

Dermal Fillers Solution

Dermal fillers can add volume and definition to the lips creating fullness and restoring their youthful appearance if ageing is your primary concern. Additionally, fillers can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, resulting in a more rejuvenated and attractive look.

The Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers offer numerous benefits for individuals looking to enhance their facial features and combat the signs of ageing.

Here are some of the key advantages of seeking a professional doctor for dermal fillers:

1. Non-Surgical:

Dermal fillers provide a non-surgical option for facial enhancement, allowing individuals to achieve significant improvements without the need for invasive procedures or lengthy recovery times. To ensure you achieve the balanced outcome you desire and to manage any potential complications, you need an experienced medical practitioner.

2. Quick Procedure:

Dermal filler treatments are relatively quick and convenient, often taking only 30 minutes to an hour to complete depending on the number of injections required. This makes them an ideal option for individuals with busy schedules.

3. Natural-Looking Results:

When performed by skilled practitioners, dermal filler treatments can provide natural-looking results that enhance the individual’s unique features without appearing overdone or artificial.

4. Minimal Downtime:

Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after a dermal filler treatment. There may be some minor swelling or bruising, but these side effects are usually temporary and resolve quickly.

Customisable Treatments:

Dermal fillers can be tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual. Whether you are looking to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, or enhance facial contours, dermal fillers can be customised to achieve your desired results.

At The LUXE Clinique, we offer a number of dermal filler treatments to enhance individual or multiple facial features to enhance your facial profile. Your safety and wellbeing is our top priority which is why every treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your needs and medical background.

The post Your Facial Profile: How Dermal Fillers Can Enhance Your Features first appeared on The LUXE Clinique.

Filler treatments, whilst perfectly safe if administered correctly, are not regulated and can be injected by anyone. This can lead to life-altering complications that are entirely avoidable. At The LUXE Clinique, we are passionate about the positive effects that fillers can have on our patients, which is why we’ve created this guide on why filler must always be injected by a registered professional to achieve the best results.

1/ Fillers can be offered by people without sufficient training

Demand for dermal fillers has increased over the past decade. Unlike Botox, you don’t have to be medically qualified to legally carry out dermal filler treatments. This means that anyone can access and offer the service if they wish to.

With such high demand for the service, there are unqualified practitioners who have begun to offer it without having received sufficient training on how to correctly inject dermal fillers. Beauticians are likewise not governed by regulatory bodies who set standards of practice, therefore don’t need to provide the quality of service that is required of a doctor.

Seeking filler treatments from someone who has not been trained to do so can be unsafe and lead to unflattering results.

It is therefore vital to ensure that your treatment is being administered by a professional.

Our Medical Director Dr Robby Bajaj has over 12 years experience in aesthetic medicine, having performed thousands of dermal filler treatments with full accreditation and training.

2/ Quality and genuinity of products

Just as anyone can inject filler treatments, you don’t have to be a medical professional to order dermal fillers online. Without the correct training, it is unlikely that anyone would be able to source high quality products for their services.

When you receive filler treatments, you have every right to know exactly what is in the product. Dermal fillers are made using Hyaluronic acid, a substance that exists naturally within skin and muscle tissue, meaning it should be harmless if injected properly.

Medical professionals have access to the best products available which lead to the best results, with minimal side effects.

3/ Less chance of complications

Non-aesthetic treatments are administered by injecting substances into the body. This can come with complications if not carried out by a trained professional.

Avoidable complications of filler can include:

• Allergic reactions
• Asymmetrical finish
• Infection
• Damage to the skin
• Lumps
• Ulceration
• Rashes/redness
• Undercorrection/overcorrection of lines

These complications are rare, and unlikely to occur if your filler is injected by a medical professional. If you seek a medically trained doctor for your procedure, you should only experience mild redness, swelling and bruising that will disappear within a few days.

Their training also enables them to manage any adverse reactions to the treatment with confidence, so that you continue to receive the highest quality of treatment following your appointment.

4/ Quality of care

When receiving any non-surgical aesthetic treatment, your quality of care will always be at the forefront of a qualified professional’s mind.

Dermal fillers can be an incredibly personal procedure, and the delicacy of the patient’s frame of mind must be accounted for during every step of the process. Professional medical practitioners are required to make you as comfortable as possible whilst adhering to the standard of treatment outlined by the Department of Health.

All Dermal Filler procedures atThe LUXE Clinique are carried out by Dr. Robby Bajaj who will ensure your safety and wellbeing are his top priority, whilst remaining fully transparent about your chosen treatment.

5/ Access to Indemnity Insurance

Aesthetic practitioners are required to have medical indemnity insurance cover which reputable insurance providers will not give to beauticians, and non-medically qualified therapists or practitioners.

If your practitioner does not have indemnity insurance, you could be at risk if you experience complications with your treatment.

6/ Beautiful results

Fully trained doctors, nurses and other medical professionals are familiar with facial anatomy and are able to sculpt your appearance to create the beautiful results you envision.

Dermal Fillers are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments available because of the stunning finish they can achieve for your face and other areas of the body. Whether it is your desire to have more contoured cheekbones, a softer complexion or restore lost volume in your face and hands, your needs will be in safe hands when you contact a trained professional.

Choosing a professional

Before you book a consultation, always ask your practitioner:

1. To see your practitioners qualifications and experience
2. Which product they plan to use and where it’s made
3. If there are any side effects to the treatment
4. If you are covered if anything goes wrong with your treatment

This will prevent any unwanted complications and ensure that all products used are safe and of the highest quality.

Dr Robby Bajaj has over 20 years experience providing highly skilled treatments that begin with a consultation to establish your needs. As a fully registered member of the General Medical Council, he puts the health, safety and wellbeing of every patient at the heart of each procedure.

At The LUXE Clinique, your care is a top priority which is why every treatment begins with a free consultation to discuss your needs and medical condition. We will also make sure that you are fully informed and comfortable with your chosen treatment before it goes ahead.

The post Why Filler Needs to be Injected by a Professional first appeared on The LUXE Clinique.

The LUXE Clinique is passionate about the positive impact injectable fillers can have on beauty and self esteem as well as recognising the associated risks with aesthetic treatment. We want you to experience the full benefits of your procedure in the safest hands possible, which is why we’ve created this safe guide on injectable fillers.

How can dermal fillers enhance my appearance?

As your skin ages, it loses the natural structure that shapes it.

Dermal Fillers are the perfect way of restoring lost volume to your face, but the benefits don’t stop there:

1. Enhances natural contour to cheeks, temples, jawline, nose and chin
2. Immediately restores facial volume
3. Softens and corrects lines and wrinkles
4. Defines and amplifies the appearance of lips
5. Rejuvenates hollow and tired eyes
6. Restores volume in hands
7. Improves tone and texture of skin
8. Adds hydration

What are fillers made of?

The most commonly used facial fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a sugar molecule that occurs naturally in the skin and other tissues. Hyaluronic acid binds water in the skin giving it important hydrating functions in the body.

Hyaluronic acid has been used in medical procedures for many years. When injected, it safely breaks down into the body for natural, subtle and effective results.

What filler do I need?

There are many types of filler that are suited to different procedures and produce different results. Whether you desire fuller lips, voluminous cheekbones or reduction in the appearance of line and wrinkles, the treatment you desire will differ.

Facial contouring and profile

Facial contouring aims to restore volume in your face as a whole by taking the time to understand your facial profile. By appreciating the full face, facial contouring creates natural structure that reverses the signs of ageing.

Line and wrinkle reduction

Line and wrinkle reduction reduces the appearance of ageing caused by both environmental and genetic factors such as changes to skin, bone and volume. Injectable fillers such as Juvederm dermal fillers can be used to slow down the development of lines and wrinkles, after the cause of ageing has been identified.

Lip enhancement

Lip enhancement treatments are restorative and can be used to increase fullness, create a more defined cupid’s bow and accentuate the natural lip line. As you age, your lips can become thinner and lose definition but lip augmentation can redefine their youthful appearance.

Lip augmentation is one of the most popular filler treatments.

Non-surgical facelift

Volume loss in the cheekbones and around the eyes is a natural part of ageing but can create dark shadows and sagging. Non-surgical facelifts lift your features and are a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures such as liquid facelifts.

Skin revitalisation/skin boosters

This revitalising treatment is tailored to your needs and designed to be injected over larger areas of the face. Skin boosters restore your face’s lost volume from within to leave your skin looking firmer, smoother and hydrated.

Choosing a professional

Dermal filler treatments are unregulated and can therefore be administered by anyone, which is why it is vital to seek a fully trained medical professional for your procedure. This will prevent any unwanted complications and ensure that all products used are safe and of the highest quality.

Before you book a consultation, make sure you ask:

1. To see your practitioners qualifications and experience
2. Which product they plan to use and where it’s made
3. If there are any side effects to the treatment
4. If you are covered if anything goes wrong with your treatment

Dr Robby Bajaj has over 20 years experience providing highly skilled treatments that begin with a consultation to establish your needs. As a fully registered member of the General Medical Council, he puts the health, safety and wellbeing of every patient at the heart of each procedure.

What to watch out for

If you choose a fully qualified practitioner then you shouldn’t experience any adverse reactions to your treatment. However, it is still important to watch out for any side effects that may occur.

These include:

1. Lumpy appearance under the skin as this could be evidence of infection or unexpected allergy
2. The filler moving away from the treated area
3. Clogged blood vessels in the treated area

If you choose a safe practitioner, these side effects should not occur.

What to expect during treatment

Your treatment will begin with a consultation, where you will discuss with your practitioner what you want the effects of your injectable filler to be, as well as determine whether filler is a safe option for you. Your practitioner will then be able to advise you on the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.

Injectable filler procedures can last from 30-90 minutes depending on the type of filler and number of injections you require.

Injectable fillers can be uncomfortable but are not usually painful. This is because most injectable fillers contain anaesthetic and are administered using non-invasive needles.

Dr Robby Bajaj aims to do everything he can to make your experience as comfortable as possible, and can apply numbing cream to treated areas wherever required.

Aftercare advice

The results of injectable fillers should appear within 2-3 weeks after the procedure as it takes some time for them to settle into your facial tissues. However, in most cases, you could return to work the very next day as the healing time is minimal.

For 24 hours after the treatment, you should avoid:

• Engaging in exercise or any activity that could cause excessive sweating
• Touching or rubbing treated areas
• Consuming alcohol or large amounts of caffeine

Depending on the condition of your skin and your medical history, we may provide additional aftercare advice to help your injectable fillers settle naturally.

At The LUXE Clinique, your safety and wellbeing is a top priority which is why every treatment begins with a free consultation to discuss your needs and medical condition. We will also make sure that you are fully informed and comfortable with your chosen treatment before it goes ahead.
