Dermal Filler

What is Dermal Filler?

As we age, the levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin decrease. These injectables can help replace this loss. Our most common dermal treatments include lip filler and cheek filler.

Dermal filler (or just ‘filler’) restores volume, improves facial contours, smooths lines, and softens creases. Most commonly, they are used to replace the volume lost through the aging process, restoring a more youthful look. However, they can also enhance areas in individuals who naturally lack volume (e.g., those with genetically thin lips). It is a very common treatment, with more than a million people per year choosing this minor procedure.

While there are many different types of filler, the most common is hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a clear, soft, gel. HA is naturally produced by the body and found widely throughout the skin and body. HA retains water improving the hydration and appearance of skin making it an essential ingredient in numerous cosmetic creams.

Because HA is a natural substance, allergic reactions are very rare. HA fillers look and feel natural when injected and have a very long safety record. They are also reversible, so if issues do arise, they can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.

Fillers also often include lignocaine (a local anaesthetic) to make treatment more comfortable.

How does Dermal Filler Work?

As we age, many areas of the body thin out (atrophy) including fat, skin, and muscles. This results in a loss of volume of the structures of the face, including the lips. Volume loss subsequently leads to sagging, hollowed-out areas and wrinkles.

Strategically placed filler by an Anue Artisan can restore this volume in a natural way, restoring a fresh look without distortion. The result is an instant plumping that reduces lines, folds, and wrinkles.

The different types of filler

At Anue, we don’t just use a single brand of filler. Different brands have differing benefits and down sides. Having a range of products at Anue means that we can use the correct product for your needs.

What are the Dermal Filler Treatment Areas?

Lip Filler

While perfect pouts have taken over pop culture, full, luscious, and symmetrical lips are a timeless defining feature.

Genetically thin lips, lifestyle choices, and the natural aging process can all contribute to a loss of volume within our lips. Fine lines and wrinkles can cause a reduced projection of the cupid’s bow and a lack of definition.

Lip filler not only increases the size of your lips can enhance symmetry and shape. Anue’s Artisans harness our “less is more” approach during for lip treatments. This helps to create a stunning definition that looks natural, youthful, and refreshed.

Cheek Bones

Volumising the cheek bones can have a lifting effect on the whole cheek. This can reverse the sagging effect that occurs with aging.

Cheek Filler

Cheek filler can be used to define and enhance the cheekbones. It is also commonly used to volumise and plump the cheeks, smoothing out lines and wrinkles to create a more youthful appearance.

Nasolabial fold

The nasolabial folds, also known as the smile lines extend from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth. They become more prominent with age and sun damage.

Filler in the nasolabial folds restores volume while smoothing out creases.

Marionettes

The marionette lines extend from the corners of your mouth to your chin and creates a depression as we age.

Filling this depression lifts the corners of the mouth producing a naturally happier look.

Chin and jaw Filler

With age, we lose bone mass, and combined with other signs of aging, softens the jawline and causes the chin to recede. Others feel their chins are too pointy, square, round, short, or angular.

Filler can define the jawline while lengthening and projecting the chin. This can add dimension, depth, and structure to the face. It can also be used to shape the chin, whether it is to create a more angular or round profile.

What is the Treatment Process?

We strongly recommend a consultation before your treatment. This allows you to consider your options without feeling pressured into treatment.

At your first appointment, our experienced care team will discuss your concerns and treatment goals. They will then undertake a comprehensive assessment of your skin and provide their expert recommendations. Together, you will develop a treatment plan to achieve what you want.

During the treatment session, your provider will proceed with the agreed-upon plan. We design our treatment rooms for a stress-free environment, featuring calming music, fresh walls, and a comfortable environment.

At Anue, we offer routine follow-up care to ensure you are not left unsupported. We also recommend a two-week appointment to assess the results, ensure you have no concerns, and discuss the ongoing treatment plan (if appropriate).
