In recent years, the field of aesthetic medicine has witnessed remarkable advancements, particularly in the realm of aesthetic fillers. These non-surgical procedures offer individuals the opportunity to enhance their natural features while maintaining a youthful appearance. From cheek augmentation to tear trough filler, the range of aesthetic fillers available today provides a solution for almost every facial concern.
As with any cosmetic procedure, it is important to consider both the positive effects and potential side effects. In this blog, we will explore some common aesthetic fillers and shed light on their benefits along with potential side effects. If you’re interested in any of our filler treatments here at Manor Health, this blog may help you decide what treatment is right for you.
Cheek Augmentation
Cheek augmentation is a popular dermal filler procedure that involves enhancing the volume and shape of the cheeks. The results can provide a more youthful and defined appearance, helping to restore the lost volume due to natural ageing or hereditary factors. Positive effects include improved facial contours, heightened cheekbones, and enhanced facial harmony. Common side effects may include minor swelling, bruising, or tenderness, which typically subside within a few days.
Tear Trough Filler
Tear trough fillers are used to address under-eye hollows and dark circles, creating a well-rested and rejuvenated look. This procedure can significantly reduce the appearance of tired eyes, making individuals feel more confident and refreshed.
Positive effects include a reduction in the appearance of hollows, softened under-eye bags, and a more youthful overall appearance. Side effects may include temporary mild swelling, bruising, or redness that typically resolves within a week. If a cannula is used then these side effects are almost diminished.
Nose Augmentation
Nose augmentation through fillers provides an excellent non-surgical alternative to rhinoplasty. This procedure can help correct minor imperfections, such as a dorsal hump or nasal asymmetry. Positive effects of nose augmentation include enhanced symmetry, improved nasal contours, and a more balanced profile. Side effects might include swelling, bruising, or tenderness, which usually subsides within a few days.
Upper Lip Line Filler
Upper lip line fillers address vertical lip lines, also known as smoker’s lines, by plumping and smoothing the area. Positive effects include a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the upper lip, resulting in a softer and more youthful smile. Side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising. If a cannula is used then these side effects are decreased significantly.
Lip fillers
Lip fillers have gained immense popularity for their ability to enhance lip volume, definition, and symmetry. Positive effects include fuller lips, improved lip shape, and a more sensuous appearance. Common side effects may include swelling, tenderness, or bruising, usually resolved within a week. An experienced practitioner will select the most appropriate filler for the overall look you require be that natural or a fuller lip.
Pre-jowl Contouring
Pre-jowl contouring focuses on reducing the appearance of jowls and increases jawline definition. Positive effects include a more defined jawline and a rejuvenated lower face.
Marionette Line Filler
Marionette line fillers target the lines that run from the corners of the mouth towards the chin, softening their appearance. Positive effects include reduced marionette lines, a lifted mouth corner, and an overall rejuvenated appearance.
Nasolabial Fold Filler
Nasolabial fold fillers improve the appearance of deep lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, resulting in a youthful and smoother complexion. Positive effects include softened nasolabial folds, improved facial symmetry, and enhanced overall appearance.
Chin & Jawline Augmentation
Chin and jawline augmentation through fillers can provide better facial proportions, balance facial features, and strengthen the jawline. Positive effects include an improved chin projection and a more defined lower face.
Skin Boosters & Profhilo
There are many skin boosters on the market that will hydrate and improve the overall skin tone and texture whilst slowing down the overall ageing process. At Manor Health, our preferred skin booster is Profhilo.
Profhilo is a brand name for a type of hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable treatment that is used for skin rejuvenation and tightening. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain moisture and elasticity in the skin.
When injected, Profhilo works by stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving skin hydration and texture, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It is commonly used to address signs of ageing, such as sagging and dull skin. Positive effects include glowing, hydrated and younger-looking skin.
Plenhyage and Polynucleotides – The latest in injectable in skin rejuvenation!
Plenhyage is a revolutionary skincare treatment that has been gaining popularity for its incredible benefits. Plenhyage is a polymerised, polynucleotide-based injectable gel, that aims to help repair tissue by stimulating fibroblasts, encouraging cell turnover, improving elasticity, boosting collagen production, and hydrating the skin.
A clinical study involving 15 patients highlighted a 115% increase in hydration levels and a 38% improvement in elasticity after 20 weeks of a Plenhyage XL treatment.
The versatility of Plenhyage allows a practitioner to treat ageing skin anywhere on the face or body. Popular areas include upper, mid and lower face, neck, décollete, inner arms, thighs and knees. It can also be used for acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea.
Patients can expect to see results after three weeks which will last six to nine months. Three to four sessions are required for optimal results.
