Fillers 

Fillers are usually made of Hyaluronic Acid.
This is a natural material present in our skin.

Its function is to keep humidity in the skin and give the skin its shining fresh look.

As we grow older we lose the hyaluronic acid from our skin and by the age of 35 we lose about 30% - 40% of the Hyaluronic Acid and by the age of 50, we lose more than 50%. This will result in dry, thinner skin and wrinkles start to appear.
Other factors which lead to the look of an aging face is downward pull of facial tissues by gravity. 

Atrophy of the bony structures and soft tissues plays an important role in facial aging.
 

Benefits of Using Fillers: 

1. Fillers will rejuvenate the skin by treating the static wrinkles and increasing the humidity in the skin and giving more thickness to the atrophic thin skin.

2. Fillers can replace the lost volume in the cheeks, chin and jawlines, giving a lifting effect to the face and neck.

3. As we grow older the lips lose volume, become thinner and the contour becomes less obvious. Fine vertical lines will also appear on the lips. All this can be treated with Hyaluronic Acid Fillers.

4. Fillers can be given to deep glabellar lines (deep lines at the root of the nose) and under the eyes to fill the tear trough which softens the appearance of lower lids bags.

5. Fillers can also be used to fill forehead lines, nasolabial folds and fill temporal depressions.

6. In certain cases it can be used on the nose to hide a hump or lift the tip or correct a deviated nose (Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty).

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers lasts in the face for 6 months (as in the lips) and 18-24 months (as in the cheeks). This depends on the type of the filler and the site injected.

This filler can be dissolved by using Hyaluronidase Enzyme Injections.

Permanent fillers should not be used, as they will lead to permanent problems which are very difficult to treat.

PRP ( Platelet Rich Plasma )

PRP is a process where the patient’s blood is withdrawn and then centrifuged to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. This plasma rich in platelet is then injected into the patient’s skin. The platelets become activated and they release growth factors, that enhances skin cells and new collagen formation.

Areas treated are:

• The face.
• Back of the hands.
• Decolletage area.

Where the PRP minimizes fine lines giving a fresher younger appearance.

PRP can also be used to stimulate hair growth in patients with thinning hair.

PRP can be repeated every month for 3 months then once every 6 months after that to maintain the improvement.

Fat Injections

In this process fat is removed from areas with excess fat such as the abdomen and thighs. It is then injected into areas lacking volume like the face, hands, breasts and buttocks.

This procedure can be done either under general anaesthesia when a large amount of fat is needed as in buttocks filling (Brazilian butt) OR it can be performed under local anaesthesia if a small amount of fat is needed, for the face or the hands.

Part of the fat injected is absorbed by the body and is lost while the majority of the fat injected will survive.

This procedure can be repeated several times to reach the desired result.
