Dermal fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid, which occurs naturally in the human body, especially in the skin. It is essential for water retention, wound healing and tissue repair, and is one of the main components responsible for that plump, smooth, youthful look in young skin.
At Glen Dental, Dr. Lina Kotecha uses smooth, non-granular and additive-free fillers from the Restylane range made by Galderma and the Juvederm range by Allergan. Dr. Lina Kotecha uses them for a range of facial rejuvenation treatments including:
Our dermal fillers start working instantly, and the effect will last between 6 and 18 months. The fillers include a local anaesthetic, but additional local anaesthetic will be given before treatment to ensure the procedure is entirely pain-free. Dr. Lina Kotecha uses only the latest techniques to administer treatment. Further information on:
Dermal fillers are very safe and suitable for most patients. However, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are susceptible to keloid scarring, this treatment should be avoided. In addition, some medications may mean you are unsuitable for treatment, which is why we take a full medical and drug history as part of your assessment appointment to ensure that treatment is safe for you.
We offer a free consultation for facial aesthetics, so, if you are considering this treatment with Dr. Lina Kotecha and would like to find out more, please call us on 0116 2593386 today to book.
