Soft Tissue Fillers
Nurse-led treatment for lost facial volume in Finchampstead, Berkshire.
About Soft Tissue Fillers
What it is and how it works.
As we age, the face gradually loses bone, fat, collagen and elasticity, so areas such as the cheeks, lips and jawline can look flatter or less defined.
At Tanton Brown Skin Clinic, Isabel, an NMC-registered Independent Nurse Prescriber, offers soft tissue fillers, also known as dermal fillers, made from hyaluronic acid to replace lost volume and support facial contours. Her approach aims to restore balance subtly, so you still look like yourself.
How it works
Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in the skin. It is injected with a fine needle or cannula to support areas where volume has been lost, and is gradually broken down by the body over time.
Benefits include
- Restores volume in areas such as the cheeks, lips, chin and jawline
- Softens the look of folds such as nasolabial and marionette lines
- Results are visible straight away
- Aims for a balanced, natural-looking result
Subtle volume restored where it's been lost, so you still look like you, just refreshed.
