Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers are gels that are injected in order to restore volume to certain areas of the face. Many contain a substance that replicates naturally occurring sugar molecules which attract and hold water from your own body to assist with skin hydration. These Fillers are injected under the skins surface to provide a youthful and smoother appearance to your skin.
Fillers add volume and plump small areas such as lips and add extra volume to larger areas such as cheeks. Fillers can be used in conjunction with anti wrinkle injections to relax facial muscles which in turn subtly restores a youthful appearance.
Areas that are treated:
- Cheeks
- Lips
Dermal Fillers are injected into areas that have lost plumpness and volume.
Q. What is involved in the treatment?
Dermal Fillers are injected with a very fine needle. Some Dermal Fillers have a local anaesthetic in the filler which makes treatment more comfortable.
​
Dermal Fillers last between 12 - 18 months depending on skin type, lifestyle choices and skin care regime.
Q. Is treatment safe?
At Liquid Beauty only proven and tested Fillers are used. These Fillers can be reversed if needed.

- If you suffer from certain medical conditions or on certain types of medications
- If pregnant or breast feeding
It is vital during your consultation you inform us of and past or present medical issues or concerns no matter how minor or irrelevant they may seem. Medications and any alternative therapies need to also be mentioned to ensure they do not react adversely post treatment.
It is important to bear in mind that these solutions are injected directly into the skin, therefor there is a chance minor side effects may occur. These include, redness, bruising and swelling. These usually subside within 24-48 hours, although some moderate bruising may last as long as 10 -14 days.
