With the appropriate use of dermal filler, all of the effects of ageing due to volume loss are improved or corrected without the need for invasive surgery. Fillers help keep soft tissues plump and well-contoured. They can be used to enhance lips, noses and under-eye bags as well as improve radiance, fill folds and wrinkles, and provide volume and definition for facial contouring.
Evening and weekend appointments are available for facial aesthetic treatments.

This results in a much narrower forehead, and you lose the youthful convex curve; this, in addition, also causes the eyebrows to droop into the hollows as the structural support is lost. This gives the face a sunken/gaunt appearance.
Treatment of the temples restores volume loss and restores fullness of the upper face, giving a smooth transition from the forehead down to the eye. This gives support to the eyebrows, giving them a softer, lifted appearance as well as supporting the cheeks.
There is a different approach to males and females when treating this area. As we age, the bone of our maxilla, which supports our cheeks, undergoes resorption (bone loss). This has an impact on the overlying structures, such as the muscles and the fat that sit on the bone.
As the structural support is lost and due to gravity, we have downward movement of the overlying structures; this also forms the deep groove from our nose to mouth, and you have an exaggeration of the nasolabial fold. Restoring the cheeks gives fullness to the area again and also provides support for the muscles and fat that sit on top.
This area deepens as we age due to the maxilla bone loss, widening of the piriform fossa (bone loss around the nose) and loss of volume in the middle cheek fat. Restoring this area will give fullness and prevent the signs of ageing.
This helps to make a rounded chin more square in males, elongate a shorter chin, mask a double chin, and define the chin. This works well in combination with jaw filler as it defines the whole area of the lower face and gives it a smooth transition.
As we age, the mandible undergoes bone loss, the chin becomes shorter and more anterior, the jawline begins to sag, and the muscle in our chin becomes more active, and this causes the chin to rotate forward and, as a result, deepening the horizontal groove and giving the chin a more dimpled appearance.
Due to ageing, we have a loss of the lower jaw height, the jaw angle becomes more obtuse, the jowl fat starts to droop down, and the pre-jowl fat decreases, giving it a less smooth transition.
Lips can be treated for beautification purposes or to treat the ageing process. With ageing, there is a loss of elasticity and subcutaneous fat as well as thinning of the skin, which all contribute to the ageing appearance of the lips; we have thinning of the lips, the lower lip turns inward at the sides, and the corners of the mouth turn downwards, constant contraction of the lips leads to the development of the perioral wrinkles.
When we have tooth loss, we have bone loss in the area, and as a result, our lips start to sink inwards due to the loss of support.
This helps to diminish the fine lines, giving a smooth transition to the lips.
As we age, we have a loss of fat in the undereye area, which reveals the bony anatomy below. This starts as early as the 30s. The tone and texture changes, and all of this results in a sunken and sullen appearance.
This treatment works well alongside the treatment of the midface cheek area to give it a smooth transition, as well as the cheek filler being able to support the tear trough filler in a better manner.
