Temple Lift in Twickenham

Over time the brow area changes. The deep fat within the face shrinks causing the skin and overlying layers to fall down and collapse. In the brow fat reduces and expressive muscle activity creates lines and folds in the skin. To the side of the face the temple area was once a beaufiful C shaped curve, over time becomes flat and often concave.

There are two main types of dermal filler, made from hyaluronic acid or a collagen stimulator.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are a versatile treatment that smooths fine lines and wrinkles, restoring volume and contours to the face. Hyaluronic acid lives in all living organisms and also encourages collagen and elastin stimulation. Treatment results are seen immediately after injection and last until your body breaks down the hyaluronic acid product.

Collagen stimulators are not made from hyaluronic acid, but products that stimulate in a different way. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein found in your skin and body where it plays a key role, providing support and structure. As we age, we produce less collagen, leading to visible signs of ageing. Ellansé is a collagen stimulating filler that provides immediate volumisation followed by long-term collagen stimulation. The volumisation and correction of wrinkles is seen immediately after treatment, following which gradual stimulation of your own collagen production gives natural-looking and long-lasting result.

Is this treatment suitable for me?

Temple filler treatments restore balance and symmetry to the upper face performed by Dr Anna Hemming our temple filler treatments are extremely popular forming part of the Thames Face Lift. Before treatment we assess your deep facial volume to ensure this is the right treatment for you.

We discuss your medical history at your new patient consultation and would ask you to postpone treatment if you were pregnant or breastfeeding. Treatment may not suitable if you are having immune therapy or undergoing cancer treatment.

How safe is treatment?

All our dermal fillers treatments are performed by Dr Hemming who is extremely experienced in aesthetic injectable techniques and has a very good eye for natural treatment.

Will I feel any pain or discomfort during my treatment?

You should expect very minor discomfort or tenderness initially, this settles very quickly. We use local anaesthetic injections to help numb some treatment areas and cool compress to calm any potential swelling.

Are there any associated risks?

Side effects are minimal and can include injection site tenderness and mild bruising.

How much downtime is usually needed and what should I expect?

There is no need for downtime following Temple lift and Thames brow lift treatment.

Procedure

Fillers are made from a clear non animal based hyaluronic acid gel injected under the skin to bind water and encourage collaged regrowth. These have low allergy rates and means your treatment can go ahead without a patch test on your first visit.

The filler is injected through a fine sterile needle or cannula into the area where volume loss has occurred.

Treatment can cause mild discomfort over a few seconds. I prefer fillers to contain a local anaesthetic as it ensures a more comfortable procedure.

Effects can be seen immediately and the complete effect in 2 weeks.

Treatment lasts for 12-18 months.

Your comfort levels and expectations are important factors which are considered in your consultation.

Dermal filler treatments vary by both volume and type of filler used to give the best results. We often get asked about the cost of treatment. At Thames Skin Clinic we pride ourselves on results rather than focus on the price of a treatment, it is more important that we get the correct quality of product rather than offer cut price treatments, products and services (especially when it comes to medical treatments). You will never see Thames Skin Clinic advertising services on social coupon sites such as Groupon as we believe they have a negative impact on our customer safety, results and satisfaction. We also wish to abide by the advertising regulator and work in a safe ethical manor.

Our prices reflect the skill, training and premier product choices we have made as well as the true reflection of the beautiful bespoke clinic surroundings.
