What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, mainly made from hyaluronic acid - which is naturally found in the skin - injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours.

They're fantastic for rejuvenating areas like lips, cheeks, balancing profiles and erasing stubborn lines.

What can dermal fillers do?

Dermal fillers are the ultimate injectable multitaskers. They can work wonders, smoothing out deep-set lines, plumping lips, and restoring lost volume to areas like cheeks and temples.

They're fantastic for softening lines around the mouth and eyes, giving you that refreshed, but natural look you've been craving.

Whether you're aiming to enhance your natural features or turn back the clock a bit, dermal fillers offer a versatile solution tailored to your unique beauty goals.

What are the risks with fillers?

While dermal fillers are generally safe, like any aesthetic procedure, they do carry some potential risks.

These can include temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. In rare cases, more serious complications like infection, allergic reactions, or vascular occlusion (blockage of blood vessels) can occur.

However, these risks are minimised at Lyon Medical Beauty Clinic, as all filler treatments are performed by Charlotte, a skilled and experienced practitioner, in a clinical environment.

It's crucial to discuss your medical history and any concerns with Charlotte beforehand to ensure the safest possible experience.

Are fillers right for me?

Deciding if dermal fillers are right for you depends on your individual goals, concerns, and medical history. If you're seeking to address signs of aging, restore lost volume, or enhance specific facial features, dermal fillers could be an excellent option.

However, it's essential to have realistic expectations and have a thorough consultation with Charlotte, who can assess your suitability for treatment.

During your consultation, Charlotte will discuss your desired goals, evaluate your skin, and address any questions or concerns you may have. Together, you can determine if dermal fillers align with your aesthetic goals and if they're the right choice for you.

Ultimately, the decision to undergo dermal filler treatment should be a well-informed one, made in collaboration with Charlotte.

Where can I have fillers?

Dermal filler treatments can be performed in various areas of the face to address specific concerns and enhance natural beauty. Some common areas for dermal filler injections include:

1. Temples: To replenish lost volume and reduce the appearance of hollowing in the temple area.

2. Under eyes (tear troughs): To minimise the appearance of dark circles, hollows, and under-eye bags.

3. Cheeks: To restore lost volume, lift sagging skin, and create youthful contours

4. Nose: For evening out lumps and bumps.

5. Nasolabial folds: The lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, which can be softened with filler to reduce their appearance.

6. Lips: For plumping and defining the lips, enhancing symmetry, and reducing fine lines around the mouth.

7. Marionette lines: The lines that extend downward from the corners of the mouth, which can be filled to restore a more youthful expression.

8. Jawline: For contouring and definition, creating a more sculpted appearance.

9. Chin: To enhance projection, improve symmetry, and define the jawline.
