What are Dermal Fillers?
Over time our skin loses hydration which results in the loss of elasticity forming lines and wrinkles, this is ever more noticeable when we reach middle age. Skin plumpers, also called dermal fillers, are an effective skin treatment for treating deeper lines and wrinkles. Finer lines, thinner looking crepey skin that develop around the eye, neck and backs of hands are some of the problematic areas which can be treated by skin
At Nu, we use the most advanced dermal filler products available. The new generation of fillers is of a thinner consistency than traditional fillers, giving a more natural appearance. It can treat larger areas effectively per injection. This of course means less discomfort for the client and an all together better outcome. We mainly use two types of filler- for the cheeks and to add volume to older skin we use Radiesse®, for deeper lines and wrinkles, we use Juvederm ®. Other products may be available on request.
Treatable Areas
Most areas of the face can be treated with skin plumpers. The most popular are:
– Cheeks
– Nose to mouth lines
– Around the eyes
– Deeper forehead lines
– Lines between the eyes on the forehead
– Décolletage lines
– Around the mouth
– Mouth to chin lines (Marionette lines)

The Procedure
After your consultation with the practitioner, a number of small injections are made along the area to be treated. The area is then massaged to ensure an even distribution of the filler. The process takes approximately 15-20 minutes depending on the area.
We have been successfully referring patients to top Cosmetic surgeons for over a decade. They have decades of experience and proven track record of best practice standards in the field of cosmetic surgery.
Later Progress
Mild swelling and a slight redness to the skin immediately post procedure may occur, but this should leave between 12 hours to three days. Saunas, sunbeds and direct heat should be avoided for at least 8 hours following treatment, as this can cause a throbbing sensation.
You will see a noticeable change in the skin’s condition, usually be seen after just one treatment. Your fillers will normally last between 9 and 12 months depending on your skin condition, the area of treatment and the number of times you have had the treatment before (we find that when clients have had the treatment a number of times, the treatments last longer).

How long does the procedure take?
Depending on the areas being treated, the procedure normally takes 20-40 minutes.
How long do the results last?
The effects of dermal fillers vary depending on the condition of your skin, area being treated and product used. As a very general rule of thumb, you can expert the results of dermal fillers to last 6-12 months.
Will the procedure hurt?
The procedure can be uncomfortable, so local anaesthetic is sometimes used in the area.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients only require one session to achieve the desired results. Some people choose to have occasional top-ups to maintain the look.
When can I go back to normal day-to-day activities?
You can go back to normal activities the same day. Though we recommend you avoid excessive heat for about two weeks after (e.g. sunbathing, sunbeds, saunas). There may be some bruising in the area so you may want to consider this if you are planning trips away or special days.
Are there any alternatives to this procedure?
Depending on the problem you are trying to solve, alternative treatments may be available. You can discuss this with your friendly co-ordinator or non-surgical practitioner who will be able to guide you as to the best treatments.
Can I combine this procedure with other procedures?
Yes, many clients choose to have other procedures at the same time.

Charles
Charles is a 38 year old Journalist from Glasgow, Scotland. In July he started to undergo a series of “facial rejuvenation” procedures with Nu Cosmetic clinic at their Liverpool branch.
“I was the wrong side of thirty, and although I was happy with the rest of my appearance, I had ´tell-tale´ lines forming around my forehead, but more importantly, the two vertical lines between my eye brows were making me look older (and angry). I did not want a dramatic change, just to freshen up my skin, but more importantly, to minimise these lines.”
Previously, Charles had attempted glycolic peels, and most of the high end skin moisturising treatments. It was when a friend commented on how these lines were “making him look angry” that he chose to have them more professionally dealt with. “I was aware of Nu Cosmetic, as a friend had her lips done. I also saw that they were shortlisted for the Juice FM style awards. After looking at their website, and reading the positive feedback, I decided to meet with the consultant for more information.”
Any form of cosmetic enhancement is very personal, so prices are bespoke dependent on your individual needs.
A definitive price for your procedure will be given at your free consultation with your cosmetic surgeon or relevant specialist practitioner.
