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).

FAQs:
Are Dermal Fillers safe?
As long as dermal fillers are done by a trained and registered practitioner they are very safe. All our practitioners are HCPC and GMC registered and have all completed training with the award winning Derma Institute
Do Dermal Fillers hurt?
Dermal fillers are much less invasive than alternative surgical facial rejuvenation procedures such as face lifts or implants. They require no incisions or stitches and so recovery is much quicker.
Will I look unnatural?
No. At Achieve Aesthetics we always aim for a natural and subtle result, enhancing your natural features rather than creating the ‘fake’ appearance.
