Dermal Fillers

Treatments with Glow can turn back the clock and make you feel good again…

Subtle changes in our appearance can have a huge impact on the way we look and feel about ourselves.  When we feel good about ourselves we `glow` on the inside.   This shows on the outside too. 

Specially formulated products rejuvenate your skin from the inside and helping to give it elasticity and tone.  They can quickly restore your skin’s lost volume and smooth away those facial lines.

Your skin is constantly under attack from the elements; wind, UVA, cold, pollution, stress, hormones, and the natural ageing process all contribute to wear away at its structure and weaken it.  Inevitable loss of moisture and strength creates lines around your face and in particular areas that have more movement such as the eyes and mouth.  Fullness is reduced around cheeks and jaws giving us an older, more tired look.

What are dermal fillers?

At Glow we use a range of products that can replace your skin’s own natural moisturiser – hyularonic acid. 

Hyularonic Acid is a crystal clear gel which is injected into the skin to plump it up, make it firmer and smooth out lines and wrinkles. It is a natural beauty product similar to the body’s own that does not affect facial expression or movement.  It has the unique ability of drawing in moisture to create a new freshness and elasticity to the skin.

Pre treatment

Treatments are tailored to your needs; each person will be seen individually by our expert Glow consultant and will receive a full consultation.  

At your consultation the Glow consultant will discuss your treatment plan and the amount of filler that you would need to get the results you want.  The cost of treatment will be confirmed once all of this has been decided by you.

A treatment with hyularonic acid will generally last 4-18 months depending on the area to be treated.  Suitable products will be carefully selected depending whether the lines are fine or deep or whether you want to plump cheeks or lips. 

Are dermal fillers safe?

There are many types of dermal fillers on the market but at Glow, we only use non-animal products consisting of hyaluronic acid which is a universal and natural ingredient already found in our skin.   No pre testing is needed as it is so pure.   The results of a treatment are long-lasting, without being permanent, giving you the freedom of choice to maintain the effect.

Together with your Glow consultant you will decide which product is suitable for your needs. Before treatment, your Glow consultant will discuss pain relief with you. As every person has different preferences and sensitivity. Depending on which area you will have treated you will have a choice of anesthesia, such as anesthetic cream or dental injection.

After treatment

Your Glow consultant will spend time advising you on how best to look after your skin while it heals and ensure you are given full a post treatment advice sheet to take away, with contact details should you have any queries.

It is normal to experience some  slight post-treatment discomfort, such as redness, swelling, pain, itching, bruising or tenderness at the treatment site. This typically subsides after a few days but can last up to one to two weeks. It is advisable to return for a top-up treatment within 6 months to achieve optimal and lasting results.
