How can I treat my aged and sunken face?

March 18th, 2013
Q.
Hi there,
I have got quite sunken cheeks and more lines on my face since loosing a lot of weight. Whilst my body look the best it ever has my face seems to have aged. I have tried a few creams and serums but they haven’t really made any difference to my face at all. I have been looking on the net at dermal fillers and things and I don’t really know very much about them or where to begin really. I just want my face to look younger, not a great change to to plump it out abit. Can you give me any advice about what creams to use and what fillers you think would help with my face?
A.
Hello there,
Although there are good creams to improve the tone and texture of the skin surface they will not replace lost volume or plump the skin. This is where hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers come in. They can not only subtly restore lost volume but can be used to provide a more widespread plumping and re-hydation of ageing skin. My personal preference is to use either Restylane or Emervel but there are other HA fillers. There are a number of ways in which HA fillers can be used to achieve this; you would have to discuss this with a reputable Cosmetic Doctor.

Is dermal filler the best treatment for furrow lines?

May 25th, 2012
Q.
Hi there

I am about to go ahead with dermal fillers for the furrow lines between my eye brows. The nurse has come round and given me advice as to the best treatment for this area (i was going to have botox but now it seems that the fillers will give a better result) the filler she is going to be using is Teosyal global, is this a good product?? does this have any increased side effects and is it as good as the gold standard restylane? I am only happy to go with a good product so this is a very important fact. Many Thanks

A.
Many thanks for your enquiry.

Generally, we would recommend botox to this area as it gives a more natural look.

We tend to recommend Botox first to this area followed by fillers as that gives the most natural results.

Please feel free to contact us on 01844 390110 or speak to your nurse.

Can I have dermal fillers after recovering from cancer or are there restrictions?

May 14th, 2012
Q.
Hey there Adrian, I’ve been quite ill over the last few years with Cancer, which has taken its toll on my skin, i have a lot of wrinkles! I have fully recovered now and am wanting to look great again! Is there any restrictions for people that have had cancer? Will it put me at more risk? I’d really like to have some treatments maybe juviderm, but not at the risk of my health. What would you advise? Look forward to hearing from you!
A.
Hi

Thank you very much for your enquiry.

No there are no more restrictioen for people who have cancer with Dermal Fillers and they are often used in people who have been unlikely enough to get this condition as they tend to lose volume for their face.

I think it would be best for you to book a consultation with a pratcitioner to dscuss the best way forward for you. We would be happyu to see you here at Aurora Clinics and if you would like to book a consultation please do not heistate to contact us on 01844 214362.

I have a few questions about Juvederm, Belotero, Sculptra and Fat Transfer. can you help?

April 25th, 2012
Q.
Tell me, please, which filler works for lips better : juvederm, belotero or another one? What is better for the face : juvederm or belotero? Which will look more natural, which will stay longer? Is the price for juvederm and for belotero the same? Which doctor works with boletero in Manhattan or Brooklyn (New York)? Is fat transfer better than fillers? What side effect can be from Sculptra, and Is there a different tecnique for Sculptra , than for another fillers. Thank you!
A.
Thank you for your enquiry.

You are right in that Dermal Fillers do only last normally up to six month in the lips.

There are longer lasting procedures such as Permalip which is a permanent procedure performed under a local anaethetic.

There are a number of different size available in Permalip. Please find more information on the procedure at www.aurora-clinics.co.uk.

Should you wish to book a consultation please call us on 01844 214362.

I’m on a budget but am looking for a non surgical treatment to improve the appearance of the deep wrinkles on my forehead, cheeks and nose?

April 25th, 2012
Q.
Hi I am currently on a budget but am looking for some non surgical treatments to improve my appearance. You see my husband recently left me and i have been enjoying a new lease of life and been keeping fit and have lost some weight and given up smoking. However one thing that is really getting me down is the appearance of my face. I am 42 years old and have developed deep wrinkles in my forehead that seem to be ingrained in and when i move my eyebrows makes them look ten times worse. I also have some deep lines between my cheeks and nose that i think didnt help with smoking. In general my skin tone is not too bad and have been having facial treatments at the salon but wanted something more dramatics. My only concern is cost and that i am going to be paying hundreds and hundreds of pounds every few months. And also if i stop having the treatment will the wrinkles and lines be worse after the effects wear off. Sorry for all the questions but this is something i am seriously considering once i know my budget and the procedure. with kind regards hoping to hear back
A.
Hi, Thank you for your enquiry and congratulations on giving up smoking.

You are right that some smoking can make lines on your face slightly deeper and it does sound as if you would benefit from Botox treatment and dermal fillers to the cheeks.

It may best to send a photos of yourself to info@aurora-clinics.co.uk and one of ou aesthetic nurses will be delighted to get back to you to discuss the best way forward.

Can you please ease my concerns about the potential side-effects of dermal fillers?

April 10th, 2012
Q.
Hi, i am considering having a dermal filler treatment for the lines between my nose and mouth and maybe one on my chin. I am a 24 year old man but having spent a lot of time in the sun i think its slowly starting to take its toll. I am concerned as the lines aren’t deep and i am sure they are way more noticeable to me than they are to other people as i have never had any comments on anything like that from people. I just want my skin to look like it did maybe two years ago when i had no issues with it at all and i have now realized how important it is to protect my skin when sunbathing so won’t be taking that risk in the future (i now use factor 15 and only live in Stoke on Trent, England so its hardly sun you get in Florida). Another issue i have is obviously been a man i need it to be subtle and not obvious i have had it done. I have looked around a few clinics and considered Harley Street Medical but having read their reviews i have opted for Botonics in London instead. I am not trying to get it done on the cheap and have considered this for at least a year so i am 100% i want the treatment now. I had botox for the forehead and took ages before deciding whether to go ahead so its not like i am rushing into a decision. I am thinking of having the treatment on the Tuesday and then returning to work on the Saturday as this is as long as i can have off work without putting my job at risk. Would four days be enough for any side effects to have gone? I am thinking of buying a product called lycogel which claims to dramatically speed up the healing after the treatment, have you any knowledge of this? The other issue i have which i would be embarrassed to ask a doctor is i have always had a sun tan and would like to use tanning products probably on the Saturday i returned to work, would this be ok? and when is it okay to sunbathe again after treatment? The main thing i was hoping you could help me with is when you hear of really bad side effects, how often is this? If you could please send me some statistics as to say if 100 treatments were performed how many of them ended up with the most serious side effects that would be ideal. Sorry to ask you so many questions but i really don’t have a great idea other than what i have read so far and i am not sure how much of that is true either. Please get back to me when you get chance. Thank you.
A.
Hi thanks for your question.

Essentially you should be fine to return to work within 24 hours of dermal filler treatments. You might have mild swelling but this is not usually too noticeable.

I have no experience of lycogel and a sun tan should not affect the results.

Out of 100 patients we would not expect to have any serious side effects with any of them.

I hope this helps
