Fillers

Overview
Dermal Fillers - injections given into the skin of Hyaluronic Acid (e.g. Juvaderm, Juvaderm Ultra, Restylane, Hydrafill) or collagen (e.g. Evolence) to plump up wrinkles and folds in the skin

A popular method to reduce wrinkles uses injectable fillers to smooth and plump out wrinkles, crows feet, laughter lines, some types of sunken scars, cheeks and lips. The filler is injected using a fine needle, until your facial lines and wrinkles are filled out. Different substances are used as fillers.

Hyaluronic acid is the most commonly used dermal filler. It is used under the common brand names Restylane, Hydrafill and Juvaderm. Mr Nduka and his team of specialist nurses perform Restylane, Hydrafill and Juvaderm treatments at his clinics in London, Brighton, East Grinstead, Worthing and Guildford.

Mr Nduka favours using temporary fillers as he feels that permanent fillers can leave the face looking inharmonious in the future - lips of a 30 year-old will not be appropriate at 60. A more natural alternative is fat transfer for deeper folds and wrinkles, but this may require a general anaesthetic.
