The older we get, the more time tells a story on our faces; our inherited genes, lifestyle, sun exposure and the good and bad times we’ve shared are clearly written on our faces for all to see. 

Ageing is a part of life but unsurprisingly we are all on the hunt for the magic secret to eliminating the effects it has on our appearance.

Well, the search is over as Thérapie Clinic can provide a quick and simple procedure which provides rejuvenation and youthful looking skin for up to 18 months. Dermal fillers are the popular choice for turning back the years to naturally looking young, smooth skin. Discover all you need to know with our complete guide to dermal fillers at Thérapie Clinic.

What are dermal fillers and how do they work?

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment performed by injecting tissue-friendly gel into an area, commonly the face, to fill lines and wrinkles and increase volume. 

The visible effects of ageing on the face, such as creases, fine lines and wrinkles are brought on by a decrease in the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen in the skin. At Thérapie Clinic we use Juvederm dermal fillers made from stabilised non-animal hyaluronic acid, which closely resembles the hyaluronic acid found naturally in the body. By boosting the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid, volume is added or created and the skin is visibly revitalised.

What can dermal fillers be used for?

Dermal filler can be used for treatments that focus on the face, specifically the lips, cheeks and the areas around the eyes and mouth. 

Dermal fillers are usually used to:

• Create volume in the lips

• Enhance or reconstruct facial contours

• Soften wrinkles and creases in the skin

• Improve the appearance of scars

How long do dermal fillers take to work?

A dermal filler injection procedure will take between 15 and 60 minutes depending on the area being treated and results will be visible almost immediately.

How long do dermal fillers last?

Dermal fillers will last between 6 and 18 months. 

The longevity of your fillers will depend on several factors including:

• Where the filler is used

• How much filler is injected within the procedure

• The speed it takes for your body to metabolise the filler material

You will notice a reduction in volume around the middle of the expected duration of the filler. We would recommend you get a touch-up at this point to sustain your results for longer.

Are dermal fillers safe?

Yes, dermal fillers are safe as long as they are carried out by trained and certified professionals. 

Dermal filler injections have grown in popularity due to their safety, minimal side effects and reactions. Our dermal fillers have been used in more than 15 million treatments worldwide for over 15 years. Using the world’s most tried and tested HA dermal fillers available, we can ensure that their safety and effects are clinically proven and supported by extensive clinical data.  

At Thérapie Clinic, we pride ourselves on the highest possible standards of safety. We have an exceptional team of highly trained professional staff who will only perform a treatment if they are completely secure in the knowledge that it is safe.

Are there any dermal filler side effects?

It is completely normal to experience temporary side effects such as redness, bruising and swelling at the injection site after your dermal filler procedure. 

During your treatment your doctor will lightly massage the treated area to ensure even distribution and minimise any swelling. 

In some cases reactions can occur and will normally arise immediately after the dermal filler procedure. Reactions can include itching, swelling, pain and tenderness. These reactions commonly subside shortly after injection and are usually resolved within a few days of the injection. 

Your doctor will go through everything during the consultation stage, but feel free to contact us at any time if you have any further questions about the safety and possible side effects of dermal fillers.

Are dermal fillers painful?

When injected with a dermal filler you may feel some discomfort but the procedure should not be painful. 

The Juvederm injections used at Thérapie Clinic contain a small amount of lidocaine, a pain reducing agent to minimise any pain or discomfort felt during the treatment. 

It is completely normal for the  treated area to be tender for 48 hours after your procedure.

How much do dermal fillers cost?

Juvederm dermal fillers at Thérapie Clinic start from £250/€295 per treatment.

Fancy looking instantly younger? Loss of volume in the face is one of the key signs of ageing. Reduce fine lines, wrinkles and add volume to enhance your natural beauty with Europe’s leading dermal filler and aesthetic treatment provider, Thérapie Clinic.

If you’re a first-time dermal filler patient, here’s what you need to know …

How do I prepare for my dermal filler appointment at Thérapie Clinic?

• Clear your schedule of any major events for at least three days or so after your injections. You may still have some swelling and bruising, especially if treated around the eyes or lips.

• Stop taking any blood thinning medications/supplements three days prior to treatment. These include: Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Aleve, fish oils and multivitamins.

• Don’t drink alcohol for at least two days before your treatment. The blood-thinning effects of alcohol may cause you to bruise. Red wine is usually the culprit!

• Avoid exercise the day of your appointment. This could cause more swelling and potentially affect the outcome of your treatment.

What happens during the treatment?
At Thérapie Clinic, we always conduct a thorough consultation with you prior to any procedure to make treatment recommendations to meet your cosmetic needs, review your medical and past cosmetic history, discuss treatment options, expected recovery, longevity of results, and go over any risks involved with the procedure.

If we have decided that dermal fillers are the best option for you, we will prepare your skin for the treatment. The injections themselves are quick, taking anywhere from 10-25 minutes to complete.

Once the treatment is completed, we will pass you a mirror to admire your results! Results from dermal fillers are instant, however results will continue to improve weeks after the treatment once the filler has had time to settle. We will then go over expectations for healing (if any), post-care instructions, and make recommendations for any addition appointments or follow ups.
 
What should I do after getting dermal fillers?
For the most part, recovery after the dermal fillers is simple. Many people resume their usual activities within 24 hours. You might notice that there is some bruising or swelling in the injected area, which is expected after an injectable treatment. However, typically the bruising is minimal and can be covered up with makeup within 24-48 hours.

Thérapie Clinic recommends that you have dermal fillers two weeks before any big events (weddings, presentations, photo shoots, etc,) so that all healing is complete and results have enough time to settle to ensure you look and feel your best for your big day!

How long will the results last?
One of the great advantages of Dermal Fillers is that the effects are long lasting but not permanent. Duration depends on many factors, such as the individual’s skin type, lifestyle and age. After the initial treatment, follow-up sessions are normally recommended around every 6 to 12 months depending on the individual and the treatment. A treatment of the lips lasts from 3 to 6 months. Your doctor will give you more information during your consultation.

Fillers can seem rather daunting if you’re new to the game – but facial contour, a type of procedure offered by several aesthetic clinics can transform your appearance in a matter of minutes and has zero downtime.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are a bulking agent successfully used to wage war on wrinkles and to recreate volume. Loss of volume in the face is one of the key culprits of ageing. As we grow older, our facial muscles and connecting tissue begin to sag, often resulting in sunken cheeks and temples. Hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in the body, is synthetically produced as a pure product and used as a filling agent for various parts of the face. Dermal fillers will help to smooth lines, enhance lips and restore cheeks to give you a more youthful and fresh-faced look.
Thérapie Clinic’s preferred dermal filler is the world-renowned Juvederm.
What is facial contouring and how do dermal fillers play a role?
Facial contouring is the name given when a combination of different dermal filler procedures are used together in order to create a natural-looking contour to the face. The areas are typically the cheeks, chin and jawline but not every case will need all three done and the amount of filler needed for each person can vary completely.
Facial contouring is a non-surgical way to enhance and define the natural angles, outlines and facial structure to give a fresher, streamlined look and to beautify facial features. Typically, cheek filler is usually injected with a small needle in three separate marks on the highest part of the cheekbone in order to lift the face and give the appearance of naturally contoured cheekbones. Jawline filler is placed along where the natural jawline is (or would be, as some don’t have a strong jawline at all) typically with a cannula, and gets rid of the appearance of a round, undefined face.

3. Before leaving the clinic, we provide all our clients with comprehensive post-treatment care advice.
Am I suitable for dermal fillers?
Do not use dermal fillers if you are pregnant, breast feeding or bruise easily. If you’re unsure of your suitability our doctors will advise you further at the consultation.

The post Dermal fillers – contour your chin, cheeks and more without makeup appeared first on Therapie Clinic.

Our highly trained therapists apply this ethos when carrying out all treatments at Thérapie Clinic, like our signature lip fillers. As the appeal of lip enhancement showing no sign of waning, here’s everything you should know before booking in for your consultation …

Lip fillers are long-lasting, but not permanent.
Lip enhancement – also know as lip augmentation – is an aesthetic procedure designed to give you fuller, plumper lips. A dermal filler, a naturally occurring sugar found within the skin called hyaluronic acid, is injected with a very fine needle into the lips. The results are lips that are more contoured, more enhanced. Dermal fillers can both enhance a younger lip and volumise the ageing lip.

One of the huge benefits of this treatment is that the results are long lasting but not permanent. Your lips can be altered over time in order to maintain the desired appearance. On average each treatment lasts 6 months. Duration depends on many factors, such as the individual’s skin type, lifestyle and age. After the initial treatment, follow-up sessions are normally recommended around every 6 to 12 months depending on the individual and the treatment. Your doctor will give you more information during your consultation.

How it will feel
At Thérapie Clinic patient care is always to the forefront of all of our procedures and we will ensure that your treatment is as comfortable as possible. Our lip fillers contain a local anaesthetic however; during the procedure itself clients may experience some mild discomfort. This is only temporary, and your doctor will advise you on how to minimalize this discomfort.

You’ll be in and out in a flash
The whole thing was done and dusted in around ten minutes or so. After the treatment some common injection-related reactions might occur, such as swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve spontaneously within 2 to 10 days. The use of anti-inflammatory drugs or aspirin will almost always cause bleeding or increased bruising at the injection site. No exercise except for walking for 24 hours after the procedure. Your doctor will advise you fully of post-treatment advice at your consultation.

What will they look like after?
This is obviously going to depend person-to-person, but you can expect to see an immediate difference in volume and shape. As the swelling goes down – and provided you follow your doctor’s post-treatment instructions – you’ll be left with natural-looking lips to complement your smile.

Thérapie Clinic’s prices are seriously competitive
Half a ml starts at €195, while 1ml will set you back €295.

Why Thérapie Clinic is the place for you
At Thérapie Clinic we understand our clients’ need to trust in the safe hands of the professionals. That is why our highly trained and skilled team is led by surgeon Paul Reddy. He ensures that all our procedures are carried out in an environment that are as exacting as a surgical theatre.

Lip fillers aren’t going anywhere! The American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ 2016 report indicated a 50 per cent increase in lip augmentations in the 18 to 55-plus age range between 2000 and 2016 – and that figure only looks set to increase. All over Ireland, people are leaving the stigma surrounding aesthetics behind, and putting themselves first.
Are you thinking of doing the same? Here’s 5 reasons why you won’t look back after getting lip fillers at Thérapie Clinic …
They can help you look younger for less
Unfortunately, the lips can be the first area of the face to give in to the ageing process. When we look at someone’s face, along with the eyes, we tend to focus on the lip and mouth area when speaking with one another. A thin lip area can exacerbate the ageing process as we associate plump and hydrated lips with that of a young person.
The use of dermal fillers in the lip area will increase volume, hydration and remove unwanted wrinkles, improving the overall look of the face. At Thérapie Clinic, it’s more affordable than ever, with prices starting from €195 for 0.5ml.
They can help you shape your smile
If anti-aging isn’t a concern, but a loss of volume and shape is, lip fillers are a good fix. Some patients find that a thin lip area can mean the facial features are unbalanced and would like to improve this area in order to have a more full-looking pout.

It’s a super safe procedure!
At Thérapie Clinic – Europe’s number 1 aesthetics clinic – safety comes first, above everything else. Our highly trained and skilled team is led by surgeon Paul Reddy, who ensures that all our procedures are carried out in an environment that are as exacting as a surgical theatre.
At Thérapie Clinic we use the worlds most tried and tested dermal filler, Juvederm. This product has been rigorously tested through clinical trials over the past 15 years and its records for safety and efficiency are outstanding. Juvederm has been used in 15 million treatments worldwide.
The medical professionals at Thérapie Clinic will be able to advise you on the treatment needed to cater to your specific concerns, helping to achieve natural, beautiful results.
You can get the treatment done in a flash
Getting lip fillers is an extremely quick process, with the administration process taking around 10 minutes. All our treatments begin with a private consultation that includes a full facial assessment by our professional team. If treatment is deemed suitable, the client’s areas of concern are discussed, options explored, and a personal treatment plan decided.
Immediately after the consultation, the treatment can commence. The procedure itself is quite straightforward and takes only minutes. A fine needle is used to inject the targeted facial muscle.
Before leaving the clinic, we provide all our clients with comprehensive post-treatment care advice. We also provide an optional follow up appointment for assessment two weeks after treatment.
And if you’re not happy with your results …
You can reverse them! Unlike lots of other cosmetic treatments, lip fillers give long-lasting results, while being completely reversible (though this is a very rare occurrence as the doctors at Thérapie Clinic will use their expertise in consultation and treatment, in order to give you the desired look and result you wish to achieve).
Dermal fillers do disperse naturally in the human body over time and this usually takes around 6 to 8 months.

The post 5 reasons why you should invest in lip fillers appeared first on Therapie Clinic.

Lip fillers are fast becoming one of the most popular and sought after non-surgical treatment in the aesthetic market today. If you search the hastag “Lips” on Instagram, you’ll be faced with just under 4 million results. The demand for lip fillers at Thérapie Clinic has tripled, with clients looking to enhance their smile and replenish lost volume, while still maintaining a natural look.
The days of an over pronounced Hollywood lip job are gone, with most people favouring a natural look over the infamous Kylie Jenner trout pout. At Thérapie Clinic, we favour a less is more approach, ensuring the results are natural, while still enhancing your smile and helping to create the best version of you!
How do lip fillers work?
Lip fillers, are a non-surgical treatment, where the lips are injected with a very fine needle with a naturally occurring substance found within the skin called Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid, often referred to as a miracle ingredient for the skin, is a naturally occurring molecule that attracts and binds water. It is capable of holding up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. By capturing water, it plays a very important role in keeping skin smooth, plump and hydrated. Our skin is rich with Hyaluronic Acid, and our body readily produces it, but with age and sun exposure, our skin cells produce less Hyaluronic Acid. The result is drier, less elastic skin and this goes for our lips too, which can become thinner as we age. Because Hyaluronic Acid has plumping effects, it works extremely well as a lip filler, giving lips a more contoured and volumised look.
At Thérapie Clinic we use the worlds most tried and tested dermal filler, Juvederm. This FDA approved product has been rigorously tested through clinical trials over the past 15 years and its records for safety and efficiency are outstanding. Juvederm has been used in 15 million treatments worldwide!


Is the treatment painful?
At Thérapie Clinic patient care is always to the forefront of all of our procedures and we will ensure that your treatment is as comfortable as possible. All treatments are carried out by experienced doctors, who have a deep understanding of facial aesthetics and symmetry, ensuring you are in safe hands. All of our lip filler treatments are carried out using a numbing cream. Once the lips are numbed, you’ll feel a little prick and slight pressure and you may experience some mild discomfort. This is only temporary, and your doctor will advise you on how to minimalize this discomfort. Once the injections have been administered your doctor will then massage your lips to ensure the filler is distributed evenly, this is to prevent any lumps and bumps. The treatment will take less than 10 minutes and you can then go about your day!

What should I do before and after the treatment?
Before your treatment you should avoid any medication that thins the blood (e.g. aspirin or ibuprofen). Thinner blood will make the area more prone to bruising and bleeding, so 10 days prior, stop taking painkillers fish oil, and vitamin E—and, yes, even alcohol. If you have a history of cold sores, you should take prevention medication two days before the procedure, because unfortunately it could trigger a flare-up. You can take Arnica tablets a couple of days before your treatment to reduce post-filler bruising and inflammation.
After your treatment you will probably experience some swelling, which is completely normal, but you’ll see the effects of the fillers pretty quickly. It is advisable not to have the treatment right before an event or occasion as the lips may still be swollen. You may also experience some common injection-related reactions such as redness, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness at the injection site, but these will subside after a couple of days. You can take an antihistamine, to help with the swelling for the first 24 hours. Most of the swelling will subside in a day, but it will generally take about 3-5 days for your lips to fully settle. If needed, you can apply Arnica cream to help with any bruising. You should also avoid any exercise, apart from walking for 24 hours after treatment.

How long do lip fillers last?
Lip Fillers are not permanent, and any injected Hyaluronic Acid will be naturally absorbed into the body after a few months. How long your lips stay plump and how quickly the filler breaks down really depend on your body’s metabolism. Duration also depends on factors, such as the individual’s skin type, lifestyle and age. After the initial treatment, follow-up sessions are normally recommended around every 6 to 12 months depending on the individual and the treatment. A treatment of the lips lasts about 6 months. Your doctor will give you more information during your consultation.

Botox and dermal fillers are among the most popular and sought-after cosmetic procedures for combating the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging in the aesthetic market today. If you are considering undergoing these injectable treatments, you may be confused between the two. They may seem similar, but in reality, they are actually quite different and tackle different issues related to aging of the skin. But don’t worry, as we are here to help you chose what treatment is right for you, and hopefully clear up any confusion!
What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox is made from a natural, purified protein, also known by its less catchy name Botulim Toxin Type A, which can help to relax facial muscles that are responsible for causing lines and wrinkles. In 2002, Botox was approved by the FDA as a cosmetic treatment for frown lines above the eyebrows, and on the forehead and wrinkles around the eye area, or “crows feet”. Botox is injected into localised areas of the skin in extremely small concentrations and it works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. When those nerve signals are interrupted, the affected muscle is temporarily relaxed, and the skin becomes smoother. Because the movement of these selected facial muscles if reduced, wrinkles become softer in appearance and fines lines are reduced. The result is a refreshed and well-rested look. With continued treatment, lines and wrinkles will appear less prominent with time as the muscles shrink and becoming less contracted. Botox injections can also aid in the prevention of new lines and wrinkles from developing, which is why it is also used as a preventative treatment.
Is there any downtime or side effects from Botox?
There is no real downtime associated with Botox, which is one of the reasons patients find it so appealing. You may experience some slight bruising and swelling from the needle directly after treatment, but this can easily be masked with make-up and will disappear within a couple of hours. Because the procedure is not surgical, you can resume your usual activities straight away, and you can even fly post-treatment. It is advisable to keep upright for at least 4 hours post treatment and we also recommend that you avoid exercise for 24 hours afterwards. You should be mindful of the treated area and avoid touching the area excessively.
At Thérapie Clinic, all Botox treatments are carried out by medical professionals, all of whom have a deep understanding of the underlying facial musculature and facial aesthetics, ensuring you are in safe and highly skilled hands. Our team of injectors have years of experience in delivering results that are youthful yet subtle, eliminating that “frozen” look, so you can rest assured that the results will look natural and beautiful.

When will I see the results from Botox?
The effects of Botox are not visible straight away, as it takes time for the Botox to start working and relaxing the muscles. Results vary from person to person, but in general the effects of anti-wrinkle injections will start to take effect after 2-5 days, when the muscles beneath the skin begin to relax. The best results will be visible after approximately 2-3 weeks after the injections have been administered, when lines and wrinkles will be significantly reduced. The results are subtle and natural, making you look well-rested and more youthful. At Thérapie Clinic we have an excellent after care service, which is of course included in the price. You will come back for a follow up appointment within 21 days, so we can assess the results of the treatment and adjust if necessary.
How long does Botox last?
Botox injections are not permanent, and the effects of the treatment will wear off with time. It of course varies from person to person, but most people find that the muscle-relaxing effect of Botox lasts for 3 to 6 months. Regular Botox treatments can affect how long the results lasts. In general, you will need fewer Botox treatments over time to get the same effect. Lines and wrinkles can often appear less severe with time because the muscles are shrinking.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are used are used effectively to lift and plump the skin, to add volume and smooth out lines and wrinkles. They are used in various areas of the face such as the cheeks, around the eyes, mouth and jawline and can also be injected directly into the lips. Because our skin loses its fullness as we age due to the depletion of collagen and elastin, fillers replenish lost volume and create a more youthful appearance.
Similar to Botox, dermal fillers are injected under the skin to eliminate or prevent the visible signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. However, this is where the treatments often get confused. The main difference is that Botox reduces the activity of muscles in the face that cause wrinkles. Instead of relaxing muscles, dermal fillers increase volume beneath the surface of skin. This helps your skin achieve as youthful of a look as possible, making it appear plumper and smoothing out lines and wrinkles, as well as eliminate signs of aging that occur as a result of collagen depletion.
How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal or facial fillers are injectables that contain hyaluronic acid, a molecule that is found naturally in the skin. Hyaluronic acid works as a magnet for moisture, helping your cells retain as much of it as possible so that your skin feels and appears hydrated, plump and healthy. At Thérapie Clinic we only use the world-renowned Juvederm dermal filler. A fine needle is used to inject the filler into the targeted area on the face. By injecting a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that closely resembles our own bodily hyaluronic acid deep into the skin, water will be drawn to the area, rehydrating and plumping the skin from the inside out. The result is a smooth, subtle and above all-natural look.

Is there any downtime or any side effects from dermal fillers?
There is no downtime after the treatment, however, some common injection-related reactions might occur, such as swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness at the injection site. These will disappear spontaneously within 2 to 10 days, which is why it is best not to have the treatment right before an event or occasion as the area may still be swollen or red. It is recommended that you not to take anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or aspirin in the days before your treatment as these may cause bleeding or increased bruising at the injection site. You should avoid exercise except for walking for 24 hours after the treatment.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Similar to Botox, the effects of dermal fillers are not permanent. This can be reassuring for people who are concerned about undergoing anti-ageing treatments, to know that the treatment can refresh the face without the stress of either a long-term commitment or a surgical procedure. The duration of dermal fillers depends on many factors, such as the individual’s skin type, lifestyle and age but in general the effects will last between 6 to 12 months. Your doctor will give you more information during your consultation with regards to maintaining your treatments.
Choosing between Botox and Dermal Fillers
It’s important to consider your unique facial structure, specific concerns, and consult with a professional in order to choose the right treatment option for you. One of the most important things you need to consider when choosing between Botox and dermal fillers is what kind of wrinkles you want to get rid of and how. Both treatments will work differently on different areas of the face. Botox is a better choice for dynamic wrinkles as it targets the muscle and will help reduce the appearance of lines that are visible when you are moving your face or making particular expressions, by reducing their motion and visibility. Typically, these are located on the forehead or in the eyebrow area and around the sides of the eyes. Dermal fillers are ideal for static wrinkles, which are visible even when your face is relaxed and making no expression and are normally located around the mouth, nose and jaw. These depleted and sunken in areas will benefit from the fullness that dermal fillers can achieve.

The primary difference between the two treatments, is that Botox reduces the activity of muscles in the face that cause wrinkles. Dermal fillers fill the trouble areas with hyaluronic acid, plumping and lifting the skin to replace collagen loss. This helps your skin achieve as youthful of a look as possible, as well as eliminating signs of aging that occur as a result of collagen depletion.
