Skin naturally produces hyaluronic acid (HA) in high quantities in youth, which declines with age.
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. At Dr Melissa Clinic, our fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. Dermal fillers are carefully injected into specific areas of the face to address wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss due to aging or other factors.
They work by attracting and retaining moisture, plumping up the skin and adding volume to areas that have lost elasticity and firmness over time. Dermal fillers are versatile and can be used to enhance features such as lips, cheeks, chin, and jawline, providing natural-looking results with minimal downtime. They are a popular choice for individuals seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation and enhancement.
Here at Dr Melissa Clinic, we strive to ensure all the procedures we perform in are as fast and painless as possible. At our clinic, we prioritise patient comfort. For most treatments a local anaesthetic will be used in form of a dental block, or mixed with the products to make sure you have a pleasant treatment experience. This may mean that you feel a little numb after a procedure for an hour or so until things get back to normal, contributing to a more comfortable experience.
The practitioners at Dr Melissa Clinic use dermal fillers to treat areas of lines and wrinkles to the face and neck area to carefully achieve dramatic results. Every patient will receive a bespoke consultation before any treatment is undertaken to explain how to get the results that are best for you.
Effects are instant, but usually fully settled within 6 weeks depending on the area treated. These normally last a minimum of 9- 12 months but to be maintained may need a top up at intervals over time.
