Dermal fillers are a gel substance that is injected into the skin to lift and soften lines and wrinkles.
I only use clinically safe, “Gold Standard” fillers that are mostly made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in our skin. They promote collagen and elastin rejuvenation, leaving the skin with a more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers can be used as an anti-ageing treatment in various areas on the face to replace lost volume, add extra volume and soften fine lines and wrinkles.
The injection of hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate the treated area as well as temporarily increase collagen production within the skin.

This is one of the most common questions I’m asked about dermal filler treatments. It’s usually asked in regards to the injecting of the product. I’d be lying if I said no but it’s more of a discomfort than a pain.
Below is a list of ways that I can make your dermal filler treatment as comfortable as possible:
The results are immediate however it can take up to two weeks for the full effects to be visible.
Results can vary depending on the product used, area treated, the skin quality and age of the patient. The hyaluronic acid fillers used are not permanent and generally last between four to eighteen months.
As with all medication unwanted side effects can occur.
It is expected that a slight discomfort will occur at the time of injection and that there is the possibility of redness, itching, swelling, bruising and/or tenderness after the injection; these should resolve within a couple of hours and up to a few days. Injections to the lip area may take slightly longer to settle.
Other potential side effects include infection, hypersensitive reaction, vessel occlusion, abscess formation and granuloma; however these side effects are not common.

TREATMENT CAUTIONS
My lips are AMAZING! So natural! My first client today said that my lower lines looked a lot less! And I didn’t even tell her i’d had dermal filler treatment! You are amazing lady x.
Mel cleverly corrected an imbalance in my lips with dermal filler. It looks incredibly natural and was just what I wanted. Mel listened carefully and advised. She is also incredibly patient as I am the biggest wimp ever.
Mel is not only meticulous and professional but also a lovely and caring lady. Her treatments are brilliant and I would recommend her services to anyone.
I had dermal filler treatment with Mel at Henley and I was extremely pleased with the results, which I could see straight away. I would recommend Mel as she was so friendly and professional. Definitely 5 stars.
