Temporary dermal fillers have been used for a number of years to restore a more youthful appearance by softening and contouring lines, folds and wrinkles. There are many different types of dermal fillers in the market – Wimpole Aesthetics only use products which demonstrate predictable, long term results and which have achieved outstanding safety results.

Dermal fillers are produced in different consistencies and produce different effects. Thicker dermal fillers are injected deeper into the dermis to replace volume; they are often used to restore the contours of the cheek or fill the hollows at the temple. Deeper fillers can also be used to fill scars and other facial blemishes. Deep folds between the nose and mouth, known as the nasolabial lines, also respond very well to dermal fillers.

The most commonly used dermal fillers are collagen-based or composed of hyaluronic acid. There are many different types of dermal fillers in the market but only a few dermal fillers have demonstrated predictable results, long term results, minimal swelling and redness after treatment and outstanding safety results.

Below are some of the brand names of dermal filler we use in our clinic; these products have consistently demonstrated predictability and safety.

Restylane and Perlane are brand names for non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Hyaluronic Acid is a polysaccride that is found in the connective tissue of our dermis. Hyaluronic acid in combination with collagen fibres and elastin fibres give the face form, shape and hydration. Restylane is the most popular dermal filler used to contour the face and the product comes in three formulations and we can advise you on which is the best produce depending on your skin type and ageing concern.

Juvederm is the other gold standard dermal filler treatment. It is also composed of a form of non-animal hyaluronic acid and works in the same way as Restylane.

BOOK A CONSULTATION

Is a dermal filler treatment painful?

There is some discomfort but again this is very patient dependent and the area that is being treated; the lips and nose area can be particularly sensitive. Topical anaesthetic can be used to numb the treatment area and these products also contain lidocaine to make the procedures as comfortable as possible for the patient.

Is there any downtime after a dermal filler treatment?

You may experience some tenderness, redness and swelling immediately afterwards but this can be covered by make-up and should subside within a few hours. There may be some bruising that appears at the injection points, but this should resolve itself very quickly.

Most patients find they can return to work or regular activities immediately afterwards although we would discourage vigorous exercise for the next day or two.

Are dermal fillers safe?

Dermal fillers have been well tested and temporary hyaluronic acid brands Restylane and Juvederm are very safe. There are some risks, but these are minimal and will be discussed in full during your consultation.

How long will the dermal filler results last?

The longevity of your dermal fillers depends on the individual patient and also the area where the product is injected. It will gradually be absorbed by the body and it’s perfectly safe to have repeat treatments to maintain your results.

I have been living with scarring above my upper lip, as a result of electrolysis treatment 25 years ago, in the form of a deep vertical line and small indentations in the skin. I sought help from Wimpole Aesthetics, and from the moment that I entered the small, personal clinic I was totally put at ease and welcomed by the extremely professional and friendly team. I received a course of Mesotherapy and Dermapen treatment and am absolutely delighted with the results. I had almost given up on ever having smooth line-free skin above my upper lip again. I highly recommend letting Wimpole Aesthetics take care of you.

Sally, KentMesotherapy and Dermapen Treatment

Having lived in Australia for over 10 years, my skin had suffered mild sun-damage and had developed a lot of discolouration on my face in particular. Also, as I approached the age of 40, I noticed a lot of wrinkles appearing! I decided to have Microdermabrasion treatment and the improvements after just 3 treatments were extremely encouraging. I have booked a further 2 treatments in coming months and I am so excited about seeing further benefits to the look and texture of my skin.

Roseanne, West LondonMicrodermabrasion treatment

I have nothing but praise for the team at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre in London. I had been very nervous about having my Smart Lipo treatment last year, however, Dr Berkowitz was highly professional at all times and provided me with great advice and treatment. I was delighted with the results that were achieved during the procedure and it has left me feeling so much more confident about my body. I would certainly recommend the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre to anybody considering this procedure or a similar aesthetic treatment.

Samantha, West LondonSmart Lipo fat reduction treatment

I had read about Thermage Skin Rejuvenation in a beauty magazine and decided to do some additional research on the internet. I found the website for Wimpole Aesthetics and contacted them discreetly via their online forms. Within a matter of minutes, I had a response from the receptionist at the clinic and she explained a little more about the procedure. I decided to book a private consultation to see Doctor Berkowitz and a few weeks later I had my skin tightening treatment. It was a great success and I’m so much happier with the general appearance and feel of my skin. The wrinkling around my eyes and on my neck is much improved and, as clichéd as it sounds, I feel years younger.

After years of worry about my “saddlebags”, I found Dr Berkowitz at Wimpole Aesthetics. He was extremely professional, but at the same time extremely friendly and answered all of my questions about the Vaser Lipo procedure. It has been 6 weeks since the procedure and I am so happy with how my body is looking. I also cannot forget to mention his wife Carol and nurses Jackie and Christina – they are brilliant!

Tina, LondonVaser Lipo fat reduction treatment

I read about the new Vaser Lipo treatment in a men’s magazine and was instantly interested. As Dr Berkowitz was one of the only specialists in the country providing the treatment, it was a natural progression to visit him for a consultation at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre. I found his advice and knowledge first-class and his staff made me feel very at ease. As such, I went ahead with the treatment and, in the end, a combination of the Vaser Lipo and Smart Lipo techniques were used to treat me. There has been no looking back since and my dream of having a six-pack has finally come true!

Ricardo Portland, Dulwich, LondonVaser Lipo body contouring treatment

I recently had Vaser Lipo on several areas of my body… my stomach, arms and chin. I found the entire process painfree and I am thoroughly enjoying the remarkable improvements to my body shape.

Charlotte Cole, FarnboroughVaser Lipo body contouring treatment

I found that no matter how often I trained or how strictly I dieted, I could not shift the layer of fat around the bottom of my stomach – therefore leaving me with a bulge which I found most unattractive. Not keen on liposuction, I had spent a lot of time researching alternative methods of getting rid of my unwanted fat, and by chance, I stumbled across Vaser Lipo. I booked in for a free consultation with Dr Berkowitz at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre in London and after a friendly and honest assessment, I went ahead with the treatment. I saw instant results, however, the real changes occurred in the 4 – 12 weeks following the procedure. A huge thanks to all of the staff at the clinic for enabling me to achieve the look and body that I have always wanted!
