Volume Restoration – for facial rejuvenation
Ageing is a natural, gradual process that results in changes that are both superficial (such as wrinkles and pigmentation) and deeper, involving the different layers of our facial structure.
One of the first areas we notice the appearance of ageing is the mid face region and this is because our perception of attractiveness is based on the synergy between our eyes, nose and cheeks.
The cheeks in particular begin to loose their volume and smoothness resulting in a fold that runs from the edge of our nose to the corner of our mouth (the nasolabial fold). Cheeks that are no longer voluminous can also result in the formation of deep tear troughs, what most of us register as the sudden appearance of dark circles that no amount of sleep seems to redress!
This loss of volume is the result of reduced soft tissue, a slowing down in the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin and the loss of tissue directly under the skin.
This volume loss can be reversed non-surgically here at Skin Renu using the latest in Dermal Fillers specifically designed to restore volume and return the mid face area to a more youthful appearance. With just one visit the cheeks are restored to give a natural lift that lasts up to approximately two years.
What is involved?
The treatment is a non-surgical procedure. Using a very fine needle or cannula the Dermal Filler is injected by a fully trainer medical professional deep below the skin’s surface to provide the support and structure needed to add natural looking volume and restore youthful contours. Cheeks become rounder and more youthful. Jawlines lift and become smoother. Topical and local anesthetic is available to minimize discomfort. Most people return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are generally temporary and related to the injection sites these are temporary and can include redness, discomfort,firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching or discolouration.
