DERMAL FILLERS

Lip Augmentation

Lip Fillers, also known as Lip Augmentation or Lip Injections, are a popular treatment which addresses many lip concerns.

Creates bigger lips / increases fullness of thin lips.
Enhances lip definition
Creates a more defined smile
Give the mouth area a youthful, rejuvenated appearance

Dermal fillers are also effective for smoothing out 'Lipstick Lines' or 'Smokers Lines' around the mouth, as well as other troublesome areas on the face.

Nasolabial Fold

The nasolabial fold is the deep crease running from either side of the nose down towards the corners of the mouth. This crease becomes more noticeable as part of the natural ageing process. Fat is lost from the cheeks, reducing skin volume and making this fold appear deeper. Repeated smiling or having a “big smile” may result in permanent, deep creases in this area.

What can be done?

Deep nasolabial folds can be corrected through injections of dermal filler into the surrounding area, restoring the lost volume and softening the appearance of these creases. The goal of nasolabial fold injections is to even out the skin volume, leaving you with a smoother, refreshed-looking appearance.

Jaw Line/Chin Augmentation

Jawline and chin filler treatments can enhance the overall appearance of the jaw and chin area. Dermal Fillers are an excellent way to shape and adjust a more satisfactory profile.

An under formed or weak jawline and chin can be genetic and can pitch into a patient’s overall confidence. Dermal Filler can be used on these areas to stiffen the skin and define the chin and jowl area, lessening the weakness of a weak jawline and chin.

High-density dermal filler can be injected supramasateric and subcutaneous to create a defined and sharpened Jawline and mandibular angle.

Models may be asked to provide photos of the treatment area prior to treatment to assess your suitability for teaching purposes.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as a ‘liquid nose job’ or ’15-minute nose job,’ is a minimally invasive treatment that aims to alter the shape of the nose without needing surgery. Instead of making incisions and altering the bone or cartilage of the nose as in a traditional rhinoplasty, dermal filler is injected into the nose to achieve similar results

This treatment can correct a variety of concerns, including smoothing out bumps, lifting the tip of the nose, improving asymmetry, or enhancing the overall balance of the face.

Cheek Filler Augmentation

Over time the face loses fat, causing the cheeks to become flat and saggy, giving way to a sunken-in look. Although some are born with naturally high cheekbones, achieving the look of sculpted cheeks can be accomplished through both nonsurgical and surgical treatments that focus on restoring plumpness, volume and definition.

What can be done?

To restore volume to the midface and recreate youthful contours, we can use dermal fillers. Thick cross-linked hyaluronic acid injections can be placed directly above the cheekbones and moulded to define natural cheekbone structure. They can also lift areas lower down such as the nasolabial folds. Satisfaction among this procedure tends to be very high, and the fillers can last as long as 18 months.

TREATMENT GUIDE & FAQs

Before we carry out any treatment, we will ask you to book an initial consultation with our aesthetician. During this consultation, we’ll take a full medical history. We’ll also carry out a visual assessment of your skin and talk to you about your needs, hopes and expectations. We’ll find out a bit more about lifestyle factors that might not only affect your skin, but also what type of treatment would be most suitable. Having gathered all this valuable information, we’ll have a better understanding of which dermal filler you need and where they should be injected to give you the best outcome. We’ll create a bespoke treatment plan that is entirely focused on you as an individual

As with any injectable treatment there are associated side effects such as bruising and swelling. With certain dermal fillers we would expect some swelling which can last for a few days. Bruising can happen (although not expected) so we prefer on the side of caution and schedule your appointment where you have some time afterwards just in case, especially if it’s your first treatment. To reduce this it’s best to avoid drinking alcohol and taking omega-3 supplements for a couple of days beforehand as both can thin your blood. If you’re prone to bruising it might be wise to take some arnica tablets before and afterwards to minimise the risk but its not essential. If you look online there are some scary stories where necrosis has happened. This complication is where product has been misplaced and injected directly into a vein. This is extremely rare and highlights the importance of seeing someone who has sound facial anatomy knowledge. At Kris Beauty Aesthetics we have never had a case of this but know how to manage it should it arise by dissolving the dermal filler.
