Dermal Fillers

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar chain molecule found in all skin and soft tissues throughout the body, identical across species. It attracts and binds water in the skin, providing volume and hydration, but also ‘cushioning’ and supporting collagen and elastin fibers and providing a medium, or carrier, for chemical messages between the cells.

Dermal fillers are manufactured, usually through fermentation and cross linking with proteins to produce a clear, sterile gel for injection into the skin. In the UK, there are over 160 brands on the market due in some part to weak regulation. Not all hyaluronic acids are the same, each brand has a range of ‘tissue tailored’ products designed for specific results.

One size does not fit all. At this clinic, we use only tried and tested brands. If you have a particular brand you prefer, please discuss it with us. Leading and well-established brands include Juvederm & Jeunesse.

Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers are a clear sterile gel in a syringe for injection into the skin providing an instant correction.

Used to Treat

To correct or enhance facial contours; cheeks, temples, jawline, nose, chin.
To define, correct or enhance lips.
To soften and correct facial wrinkles or folds.
To restore lost volume in hands to reduce the appearance of veins and tendons.
To improve the tone, texture, and hydration of the skin.

Most leading brands also contain a local anesthetic and we will apply a topical anesthetic cream, or ice, prior to treatment to numb the skin. Treatment need not be painful.

Longevity does vary between products, and between individuals, but most will last between 6 months and 18 months.

Dermal fillers are safe, but not risk-free, the nurse practitioner will discuss all the risks and benefits with you at the consultation and again prior to treatment.

The practitioner will take a detailed medical history to ensure you have no conditions that might increase the risk of unwanted side effects, consultation is also important to discuss your expectations and whether or not this treatment is able to meet them.

BEFORE TREATMENTS

All makeup will need to be removed prior to treatment, so please come ‘fresh-faced’ if possible. Alcohol, aspirin, Ibuprofen and a range of dietary supplements including; St. Johns Wort, fish oils, Gingko Biloba, Vitamins C, and E may all contribute to bruising and are best avoided 24 hours before treatment.

Treatment cannot be administered if there is an active skin infection, including acne or cold sores or if you are unwell- including colds, coughs, sore throats, etc.

Do contact the clinic to discuss any illness or new medicines prior to attending.

AFTERCARE

Most people are able to continue with normal activities with immediate improvement in their appearance. Some will have some redness, pinprick marks, possibly swelling- particularly in the lips. Possibly bruising. Any swelling and bruising may be more apparent the next day.
Make-up should not be worn for 12 hours.
You are advised to avoid alcohol, vigorous exercise, sunbathing, and extremes of heat or cold for 14 days post-treatment. These activities have been found to increase and prolong swelling.
Swelling may worsen in the first 24 hours and then should settle within the first few days. Cold packs can be helpful in reducing swelling. As a consequence of swelling, the product may feel harder or lumpy and you may notice some asymmetry. The final result may be judged at 2 weeks.
Athletes should be aware of some ingredients in the product may show a positive in ‘anti-dope tests’
Bruising may take a few days to appear, arnica can be helpful in clearing bruising. It is advisable to avoid aspirin and alcohol for 12-48 hours after treatment. Tenderness should settle as swelling goes down.
Please contact your practitioner if redness, tenderness, itching or swelling worsens after 3 days, rather than settling.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns.

I’ve been using their services 7months now and definitely I can say they are great! I started with groupon voucher and I thought this is a single promotion but no, they have plenty offers on place. I was very pleasant surprised when Christina offer me the Summer offer laser hair removal for whole body on amazing price and I bought it . Now in autumn time they have new offers and I used them too because they worth it. My therapist is Christina and I’m happy with her. She is always in a good mood and we always have a good chat during my session . She definitely knows what to do and I can see results. I would definitely recommend her and this place .

I have booked 3 sessions of laser hair removal at Moda Donna Beauty clinic, I’m very satisfied of my first treatment. My therapist Laura was very skilful and delicate. The whole process was almost pain free! I tried laser hair removal in other places before and I definitely can see the difference here. Highly recommend.

I had a fibroblast treatment here recently and I was very happy with the whole experience. They insist on a patch test first which many places don't and Laura explained everything very carefully and was professional and pleasant during the treatment. I wish I had understood that if I had added on more 'areas' on the day of my treatment that the price would be less than if I booked again later. The offers they have are really very good.

This salon is something special. Really well located if you work in Canary Wharf - just get on the D8 towards CrossHarbour and get off at Harbour Exchange Square. The salon is really clean and the staff are friendly and professional. The therapist also keeps you well informed during your treatment. I would highly recommend Moda Donna Canary Wharf.

Is i could give this Clinic' management a zero, I would. There's been some misunderstanding and instead of resolving the issue in a constructive manner, the lady manager actually made the situation worse and has lost a repeat client.. Ah well, and claiming we are the best in the area for the price and quality services is not the most professional thing to say.However, despite that I must thank Victoria for her services. A very honest and conscientious worker, you are too good for that place.
