Dermal Fillers

Fillers for the face can be used on a wide range of patients, and are primarily used for skin rejuvenation and the reduction of lines and wrinkles. They can also be used to treat scarring in some cases. Other suitable candidates are those seeking to add structure and volume to the face. There is no known risk to those who are pregnant or breast feeding, but we would advise against having treatment under these circumstances.

We believe that only medically trained clinicians should perform injectable treatments. The result of treatment is only as good as the practitioner. Not only has Dr Tapan performed 1000’s of treatments on a wide range of patient types, he has an artistic eye, bountiful experience, and teaches his advance skills to delegates internationally.

Crow’s Feet
These are wrinkles that form in the corner of the eyes. They can be caused by ageing, sun exposure, expressions and smoking.

Frown Lines
When we contract our forehead muscles, deep lines can materialise. Also referred to as an “11”, frown lines form in between your eyebrows. Over time, these lines start to linger and prove to be a bugbear for many.

Smoker’s Lines
The use of fillers can smooth and fill out these crepey lines, creating a much softer, younger-looking appearance.

Marionette Lines
Located just below the corners of the mouth, the marionette lines can make you look sad or angry when relaxing your face.

Lips
Thin lips are not necessarily a result of ageing; many men and women are born with thinner lips. If you would like to add volume, but avoid an exaggerated look, PHI Clinic can use the most advanced lip fillers to enhance your natural lip shape.

Nasolabial Fold
Also referred to as “smile lines”, these lines run down the sides of the nose to the corner of the mouth. Most of us notice these when smiling, laughing or talking, but over time they can develop into static lines.

Cheeks
Ageing usually contributes to volume loss. The round, full look diminishes as the fat pads in our cheeks gravitate downward. Cheek Fillers can be used to plump up the skin.

Décolletage
Inevitably, the skin loses its elasticity and firmness over time. Sun damage in particular can contribute to this aged look on the chest area, and the thinning of the skin can amplify the neck bands, adding years to your appearance.

Dark Eye Circles
In some cases, tear trough fillers can reduce the appearance of dark circles beneath the eyes.

With any injectable treatment, there can be some slight bruising or swelling that accompanies it. This should not persist much longer than a day, and is easily cover-able with makeup.

Tabloid newspapers and magazines love to sensationalise. Fact. Sadly, there are people out there who have have botched cosmetic work done, and as a result have exaggerated, excessive looks achieved by dermal fillers. In the past, facial fillers have contained harmful ingredients that are either too bulky and robust for the area they were used for, or had side-effects associated with them.

Being a relatively young industry, it is comparatively very advanced and forward-thinking to traditional medicine, which has taken hundreds of years to fine tune to the standard that it is today. In the last twenty years or so, the cosmetic industry have managed to develop new ways to treat patients for a whole range of indications and conditions, and have drastically improved the way patients are treated, the results that can be achieved, and how they come about.

Rest assured, if the clinician uses the correct type of product, and has the required skill-set needed to inject, results can appear natural and sophisticated.

While there are permanent fillers available on the market, we do not use them at PHI, nor do we believe in them.

We promote the use of temporary fillers, as patients should have the ultimate say on what they would like from their treatment. If permanent fillers are used, there runs the risk of the patient not liking the result achieved and not being able to reverse the effects of treatment.

With HA fillers, not only are the results temporary, they can also be reversed with a special product called hyalase. The majority of reverse work carried out at PHI is with patients who have had previous treatments elsewhere. We state to filler patients that it is reversible, and this work can be done at PHI, to add reassurance. You will always be in control of your results.

This is a possible side-effect to treatment, yes. Patients are not advised to massage the area themselves, as this may move the product. After a few weeks, your clinician will invite you back to make minor adjustments, if needed. They use a special massage technique which settles the product and what is left will be the final result.

9 times out of 10, family and friends won’t notice cosmetic treatment, instead recognising (especially with dermal fillers) a more youthful or refreshed look. At PHI Clinic, we aim to leave the patient with a look that enhances natural assets, rather than distorting them, and treat all patients with this in mind.

The most popular fillers we use are from the Juvéderm VYCROSS® range by Allergan.

Juvéderm Volbella
Volbella is designed specifically for the lip and mouth area. The gel fills in lip lines and wrinkles, augmenting the lips and perioral areas.

Juvéderm Voluma
Voluma is used to replenish lost volume, especially in the cheeks, and can improve the overall shape of your face.

Juvéderm Volift
Volift can be used on various areas, including the lips, the nasolabial folds and around the brow line. It is used to compliment the other products and elevate the features, reducing the appearance of medium to deep lines and depressions.

The price for Dermal Fillers treatments start from: £450
