Facial contours

Beat the onset of wrinkles with our dermal fillers. Whether you’ve lines or folds around your nose, mouth, lips, chin, forehead and jaw line or you’ve lost volume from your face, dermal fillers can restore your youthful appearance.

The fillers are sterile gels, proven to be safe and effective after years of rigorous independent research, injected during treatments that last about 20 minutes. We use the Restylane family of fillers which have local anesthetic incorporated in the product to minimise discomfort during injection.

The effects are instant, leaving a slight redness and/or swelling that fades in a few hours. How long the filler lasts depends on its type and your skin structure as well as lifestyle, age and your own requirements. Typically it’s six to 12 months before you might return for a touch-up treatment.

In addition to the fillers which produce an instant result, Dr Fitzgerald is also an enthusiastic advocate of  a product called Sculptra. This works in a very different way. Again, it is injected into the skin, but instead of just sitting in the lines and wrinkles and filling them out, it actually stimulates your skin cells  to produce new collagen.  Over time ( 6 months to I year ) you will see a real difference in the springiness, texture and volume of your face with smoothing of wrinkles. Look at some of the thumbnails below to see the remarkable results that can be achieved.

Before all aesthetic treatments  Dr Fitzgerald will take a medical history, and clearly explain all benefits, risks and side effects associated with the procedure. You will then be asked to sign a consent form.
