At Tempus Belgravia, our London clinic offers a range of non-surgical treatments to address the visible signs of ageing. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are a popular choice for their ability to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for natural-looking results.
What are Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in our bodies, primarily in the skin. It acts as a humectant, attracting and retaining moisture, which keeps our skin hydrated and plump. HA fillers are gel-like substances that, when injected, replenish the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid, instantly adding volume and smoothing wrinkles.
Benefits of HA Fillers
- Reduce Wrinkles and Fine Lines: HA fillers effectively smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the mouth, nose, and eyes.
- Restore Lost Volume: As we age, we lose facial volume, resulting in a hollowed or sunken appearance. HA fillers restore volume to the cheeks, temples, and other areas, creating a more youthful contour.
- Enhance Facial Features: HA fillers can be used to subtly enhance facial features like the lips, chin, and jawline for improved definition and balance.
- Hydrate the Skin: The hyaluronic acid in the fillers attracts moisture, helping to hydrate and improve the skin’s overall texture.
- Natural-Looking Results: HA fillers, when administered by our skilled practitioners, provide natural-looking results that enhance your natural beauty.
Am I Suitable for HA Fillers?
HA fillers are generally safe for most individuals seeking to address the visible signs of ageing. However, it’s essential to schedule a consultation if you:
- Have a history of allergic reactions to dermal fillers
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have certain medical conditions
During your consultation, our practitioners will assess your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the most suitable treatment plan for you.
