Dermal Fillers

Dermal Filler FAQs

With a vast array of dermal filler injections, it can be overwhelming to decide which filler type is most suitable for your needs. 

At 111 Harley St., you will have a thorough consultation with one of our highly qualified Patient Coordinator, Kerstie, to discuss your concerns and the most appropriate filler type.

Types Of Dermal Filler Procedures

There are several types of dermal fillers that our Aesthetic Nurses use at 111 Harley St. Some fillers have a thinner consistency and are more pliable, making them useful for moulding such as when shaping the lips. In contrast, others have a thicker consistency and are ideal for treating hollow areas like the temples. Juvéderm fillers contain various molecular weights and textures, so the application and use can be adapted to different areas and requirements to achieve the most natural-looking results.

JUVEDERM VYCROSS, RESTYLANE & REDENSITY 2

These Dermal Fillers contain the naturally occurring substance hyaluronic acid, which provides immense hydration for the skin. The body’s hyaluronic acid levels deplete with age, contributing to the onset of wrinkles, dehydrated skin and loss of volume. Hyaluronic acid fillers can restore lost facial volume, smooth lines and plump facial hollows for a more youthful appearance.

Juvéderm Vycross fillers cross-links hyaluronic acid to make a smoother, longer-lasting filler type. The range includes Juvéderm Voluma, Juvéderm Volbella and Juvéderm Volift.

JUVÉDERM VOLUX
Best for: Restoring facial volume in the chin and jawline.

With a thicker consistency, the Dermal Filler can redefine the chin, cheeks and jawline.

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA
Best for: Lips and fine lines around the mouth.

Juvéderm Volbella is a smooth filler making it easier to fill thin areas of the skin such as the crow’s feet and to enhance and redefine the lips.

JUVÉDERM VOLIFT
Best for: Restoring facial volume in the forehead, chin, cheeks and jawline.

With a thicker consistency, the Dermal Filler can redefine the chin, cheeks and jawline. It’s also very effective for filling in hollow areas like the temples.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA
Best for: Lifting sagging cheeks, reshaping the nose & filling lines in the lower face.

Juvéderm Voluma is a cohesive filler that can act as a scaffolding to subtly lift the skin and restore volume. Due to its restructuring ability, it’s also very effective for reshaping the nose.

TEOXANE REDENSITY 2
Best for: Tear troughs.

Teoxane Redensity 2 is the only FDA approved filler for treating the delicate under-eye area.

RESTYLANE LYFT
Best for: Reshaping the nose, ageing hands, naso lines, and cheek enhancement.

Restylane Lyft is particularly effective for restoring lost volume in areas such as the hands and the cheeks.

RADIESSE
Best For: Moderate to deep lines, and reshaping the nose, chin and jaw.

Radiesse is a filler that is made of phosphate and calcium, both naturally occurring substances within the body. The filler is longer lasting than hyaluronic acid and can be more suitable for shaping the nose, chin and jaw, or filling moderate to severe folds like the nasolabial lines.

Botox vs. Dermal Fillers

There’s a lot of debate surrounding Botox and dermal fillers, and while the two are similar in some ways – both being injectables – their contents and the effects they produce are completely different.

With dermal filler injections – or with any soft tissue fillers – they are largely hyaluronic acid-based and, as a lot of people know, hyaluronic acid is an aesthetic and skincare hero. It is found in the body naturally and is famed in the industry for its plumping and supreme hydration retention abilities.

So, when injected into soft epidermal tissue (on the face and body), the hyaluronic acid attracts water molecules and can physically fill the space between wrinkles or in areas that have lost collagen and need more volume. This is why dermal fillers are extremely effective in facial sculpting and can help you achieve a more contoured, defined look.

Botox, on the other hand, contains a substance called botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin works by restricting the production of the neurotransmitter responsible for triggering muscle movement – temporarily weakening the muscles and smoothening any wrinkles or fine lines in the process. Botox, therefore, is better known as an anti wrinkle injection.

One similarity between botox and dermal fillers is that both are extremely versatile and able to target multiple concerns. However, if you’re looking for a re-volumizing, replenishing and sculping injectable then dermal filler injections are for you.
