What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers can help to restore lost volume, add structure and rehydrate the treated areas, creating a more smooth youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers (such as lip fillers) can help replace the hyaluronic acid that we lose as we get older – this is a naturally occurring sugar found in every part of our body. By replacing what we have lost, we can regain a youthful structure and glow. The main products we use are from the Juvéderm range, an award-winning brand that gives excellent results. All HA dermal fillers are temporary and usually last between 6-12 months, sometimes longer. Dermal filler results can last longer and be even more impressive when used in combination with anti-wrinkle injections (when indicated).

Results
Results visible immediately and will completely settle within 2 weeks. Fillers tend to last between 6-12 months.
What is the procedure?
The procedure itself, usually takes ten to twenty minutes to carry out and the discomfort is minimal as very fine needles are used. Also, no recovery time is involved and the results are noticed within 7-10 days.
The skin around the treated area will look smoother and less wrinkled. The upper third of the face is where the best results are obtained; the crow’s feet (around the eyes), the wrinkles and the frown lines between the brows and on the forehead. Due to the results of the treatment, many patients report that they are feeling more relaxed as frowning reduces. However, the results are not permanent; it is normal procedure to repeat the treatment every 3 – 4 months to maintain and build on the results.

Josh Walmsley2024-03-07 They have fixed me many times! Alex is a miracle worker naomi hadley2024-03-06 Had my 1st session with Rick yesterday after bodging my knee somehow. By the end of the session my pain was much lower and my rom was much improved. Very knowledgeable! Highly recommended by me! James Sprittles2024-03-06 I’ve had appointments with both Alex and Emily at Edgbaston/Moseley and have been amazed by the improvement since beginning with them. They have been able to both relieve muscle pain/tightness whilst giving me a bespoke training plan to improve my future health. I would certainly recommend them. Jagtar Marway2024-03-05 I have been having treatment from Jezzi for for a couple of years now for different issues. She is able to pinpoint the areas causing the issues and work on them with long term plans to prevent them from reappearing. I have seen different physios over many years but I have to say her treatment is the best for me. Rebecca Brennan2024-03-05 I have been going for physiotherapy at Achieve (Edgbaston) for over 4 years and continue to do so. I have seen Rickie, Jezzy and Mitzi. They are all great. Achieve was recommended to me and I have recommended them to others seeking out a physiotherapist. Definitely give them a try if you are looking for a physio. M Rai2024-03-05 I’ve been seeing Rick at Achieve Health over the past few months and he’s helped tremendously with my back pain. I highly recommend Achieve Health who provide a holistic assessment and a good mix of physical therapy with self-care advice to keep potential future issues at bay. Efe Okoro2024-03-05 ‘Highly recommending’ Achieve Health may be a massive understatement… I am currently seeing Rickie and Beth for Physiotherapy and deep tissue work and I am super impressed! Not only are they both immensely knowledge and professional, but the teamwork between them also means my sessions are specific, targeted and I am always aware of the steps needed in my rehabilitation, which I have not experienced at other physiotherapy establishments! Having a gym where they can show and watch my rehab exercises is also a massive plus for me! Thanks Achieve!!!! Manjinder Singh2024-03-04 Just over a year ago I decided to finally see a physio after 6months of back pain at 25! I couldn't stand up properly, sit down or lie down. I went to see Jezzie and she pretty quickly narrowed down the possibilities and got to work. Over the past year she's methodically brought me back to my best, something i've not felt for a few years, and offered plenty of exercises/workout plans to continue on my own. Now I go for maintenance appointments every quarter. Jezzie is conversational and knows her job and physiotherapy like the back of her hand, she has fountain of knowledge which puts me at ease as a client.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 239 reviews
