Dermal Enhancements
At Island Glow Aesthetics in Cowes, our patients are increasingly turning to dermal enhancements as a transformative solution for overall facial rejuvenation. But what exactly are dermal enhancements, and why are they so popular?
What Are Dermal Enhancements?
Dermal enhancements are injectable gel-like substances formulated to replenish lost volume, soften creases, and restore youthful contours to the face. Typically composed of hyaluronic acid, these fillers are strategically injected beneath the skin’s surface to address various aesthetic concerns such as volume loss, skin laxity and facial contour changes.
The benefits of Dermal enhancements:
The appeal of dermal enhancements in Cowes lies in their versatility and effectiveness. These treatments offer numerous benefits, including:
- Enhanced facial volume: Dermal enhancements restore lost volume, providing a plump and youthful appearance to the skin.
- Reduced wrinkles and fine lines/folds: They can effectively diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, offering a smoother, more rejuvenated look.
- Customisable: Dermal enhancement treatment can be tailored to your individual needs. Dermal enhancements can target specific areas, such as lips, cheeks, temples, and jawline, for a personalised enhancement depending on your concern.
- Natural-looking results: At Island Glow Aesthetics in Cowes, our skilled nurses’ goal lies in enhancing your individual appearance, aiming to harmonise facial contours for a natural-looking result.
What can we treat with Dermal enhancements?
Dermal enhancements are incredibly versatile and can be used to address various facial areas, including:
- Lips: Enhance lip volume and shape for a fuller, more defined look.
- Cheeks: Restores volume to the cheeks, providing a lifted and youthful appearance.
- Tear Troughs (under-eye) and Temples: Reduce the appearance of dark circles, hollowness, and eyebrow droopiness.
- Nasolabial Folds and Marionettes: Soften creases around the mouth and nose.
- Jawline and Chin: Define and contour these areas for improved facial harmony.
Methods of Treatment: Needle vs. Cannula
The administration of dermal enhancements can be performed using either a needle or a cannula. Both methods have their advantages and our skilled nurses here at Island Glow Aesthetics in Cowes may use either or both depending on the area of treatment. Using a needle is a traditional method involving using a fine needle for precise injections. It allows for targeted treatment in specific areas with great accuracy. A cannula is a blunt-tipped, flexible tube that can be threaded beneath the skin, pushing the tissues out of the way rather than penetrating them. This technique may be employed for its reduced risk of bruising, making it suitable for sensitive and advanced treatment areas.
The Dermal Enhancement Procedure Process:
Before the procedure, a thorough consultation is conducted to discuss aesthetic goals and assess the facial structure. The actual treatment involves the following steps:
- Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied depending on the area treated to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- Injection: Using either a needle or cannula, the filler is meticulously injected into the targeted areas following the previously discussed treatment plan.
- Massage and Assessment: Post-injection, the practitioner may gently massage the treated areas to ensure even distribution of the filler. The results are assessed to ensure satisfaction.
- Recovery: Patients can typically resume their daily activities immediately while ensuring they stick to the appropriate aftercare discussed during the consultation. Patients may experience mild swelling or bruising, which usually resolves within a few days.
