Face Treatment

Facial Fillers

Facial Fillers are a great way to reduce wrinkles and facial depressions and can give your skin a fresher, more youthful appearance. A number of factors are involved in the development of wrinkles to the skin, including: ageing, sun exposure, poor lifestyle choices, gravity and genetics. As we get older, collagen, elastin and natural hydrating properties diminish and the skin becomes weaker and less supported by its internal structure. As a result skin laxity and volume loss alters the natural contouring of the face and the features appear less defined.

At Nassif MedSpa Manchester, we recognise that every patient has a unique look and facial structure that requires a personalised approach to achieve the appearance they desire. By attending a comprehensive pre-treatment consultation, our team of highly skilled professionals can put together a treatment plan that is suited to meet your exact needs, according to your individual concerns.

The purpose of dermal fillers is to lift, sculpt, contour and plump areas of the face and neck where a reduction in tissue density and loose skin are causing a wrinkled or flattened look. When small amounts are administered to specific areas, they can restore and rejuvenate the facial appearance when added volume helps to smooth the texture of the skin. A high concentration of hyaluronic acid is contained within dermal fillers, helping to increase hydration for a more radiant complexion.

Although dermal fillers are a popular anti-ageing solution for both men and women, their effects can be used to remodel a feature that appears weaker or unbalanced in comparison to the rest of the face. A popular example of this is facial contouring. Dermal fillers can successfully add volume to the cheeks or lips, around the jawline or on specific areas of the nose; working to improve the shape and create a sharper, stronger and more symmetrical appearance. When acne has left behind scarring that leaves depressions in the skin or an uneven texture, dermal fillers can help to create a smoother complexion.

Dermal Fillers vs Skin Boosters

Dermal fillers and skin boosters are often confused, but they work in different ways. Dermal fillers add
volume beneath the skin to restore lost structure, define features such as the cheeks or jawline, and
smooth deeper lines. Skin boosters, such as Profhilo, work more broadly across the skin's surface to
improve hydration, tone and overall radiance rather than adding shape or volume to a specific area.
Many patients benefit from a combination of both, tailored to their individual goals — this will be
discussed in detail at your consultation.

Please note: Any injectable procedure will only be undertaken after your face to face consultation with one of our doctors, during which a full assessment will be carried out and full list of cautions and contraindications discussed.
