Dermalux is a non-invasive treatment that uses the most clinically proven wavelengths to energise cells and trigger the skins natural rejuvenating and healing processes to treat a wide range of conditions.

There is no risk of irritation, side effects or down time that may be associated with more invasive procedures.

Yes. Dermalux has one of the highest safety profiles of any skin care treatment. It does not generate heat or UV wavelengths so cannot damage skin tissue or create photosensitivity. It is clinically proven to be safe for all skin types and the most sensitive skin conditions.

Dermalux is a relaxing, pain free experience with evidenced wellbeing effects. The treatment does not generate heat but a feeling of natural warmth is common due to the increase in blood circulation.

The number of treatments required for optimum results is subject to a number of factors including indication and severity, age and lifestyle. An initial course of 8 to 12 sessions is generally recommended for all conditions. Treatments taken in quick succession will generally achieve faster results.

Results can last for several months following a course of Dermalux treatments subject to the indication. However, regular maintenance treatments are advised to extend results as part of an on-going skin health programme.

Treatments with facial fillers (also referred to as dermal fillers) are a great way to restore lost volume, shape and definition. By truly understanding the detailed anatomy of the face and the changes that effect us with age, we are able to expertly inject facial fillers to reverse volume loss and add definition to create an overall more youthful appearance.

In younger individuals, facial fillers can be used to add natural-looking contouring and shape in a way that harmonises the face and creates a more classically attractive result.

Facial fillers are a copy of a naturally occurring substance (hyaluronic acid) that normally lies within the skin and helps to keep the skin hydrated and healthy looking. As the face ages, as well as undergoing changes to the skin, we also experience loss of volume in the deep fat layer and the bones of the face as well. This combined effect leads to loss of support and sagging of facial tissues which makes the face look tired with more prominent shadows and grooves that we associated with an older appearance. By expertly injecting hyaluronic acid fillers into the anatomical areas of volume loss, we are able to reverse the effect of these changes and as a result create an overall more rejuvenated, naturally-looking face.

Before carrying out the procedure we apply an anaesthetic cream onto the surface of the skin/lip to numb the area and reduce any pain. Depending upon the treatment, we then either use fine needles or blunt cannulas to expertly inject the hyaluronic acid fillers. Whilst particular treatments areas may be more sensitive i.e. the lips and tip of the nose, the majority of filler treatments can be tolerated with minimal discomfort. Furthermore, the majority of facial fillers will contain local anaesthetics, thus making the treatment even more comfortable.

As with any injectable treatment there are potential (albeit rare) risks that are associated with injection of hyaluronic acid fillers (compression/blockage of a blood vessel and blindness) these will be thoroughly explained to you during your consultation. These risks can be minimised by having an expert knowledge of the facia anatomy and latest injection techniques. Hyaluronic acid facial fillers are used by our experts as this allows the desired results to be achieved but importantly the use of a substance that occurs naturally in the skin, means that the risk of reaction is extremely low and also we are able to dissolve the product in the rare occurrence of a serious complication.
