Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a facial enhancement and rejuvenation treatment for those who wish to smooth wrinkles, fill in furrows around the mouth, or add volume to the cheeks, lips, and around the eyes. They are made from Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin and synthesised in a lab which assists hydration by attracting and holding water. Fillers mimic the revitalising and restorative properties of your body’s HA, and are administered via injection to ‘fill in’ facial folds and wrinkles, thus providing enhanced volume, plumpness and definition, especially in ageing skin.
These products can produce effective results with minimal downtime and discomfort, making them attractive as a stand-alone treatment, and they can also be combined with other anti-wrinkle injections, lasers, skin care products or surgery as part of a tailored programme. It is important to ensure that dermal fillers are chosen and administered to suit your individual needs after an assessment by a medical practitioner.
Dermal Fillers – The Liberty Belle Advantage
| ||
Liberty Belle Skin Centre uses dermal filler injections that are made from a non-animal based purified complex sugar and have the lowest possible record of adverse outcomes. This substance is found naturally in the body and provides hydration, volume, and plumpness to the skin. Well performed injection treatments repair and replace what is being lost from the skin due to the ageing process and can therefore be considered regenerative for your skin. Reduction in the signs of ageing with dermal fillers can be achieved by filling and smoothing wrinkles, furrows and creases, rehydrating dry or thin skin, enhancing facial features, and creating fuller lips. In expert hands this can now be achieved with a natural look and without any telltale signs that you have had a procedure. Studies have now confirmed that advanced treatment techniques with dermal fillers can deliver a long lasting skin rejuvenation with smoothing of wrinkles and lines due to new collagen generation.
- Facial lines and creases
- Furrows between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
- Furrows and sagging at the corners of the mouth (marionette lines)
- Volume loss or thinning of the lips
- Poor shape or definition of the lips
- Smokers’ lines or lipstick bleed lines which run vertically around the mouth
- Hollowness or circles under the eyes
- Flat cheek bones or cheek furrows
- Poorly defined cheeks, jawline, chin and nose
Here are just a few of the common questions our patients ask during their consultation.
The treatment area is often numbed using a cream or local anaesthetic to minimize any discomfort. The product is then meticulously injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes and the results are immediate, long-lasting, and natural.
Some swelling may occur and occasionally there is a small, temporary bruise, but this can be covered with makeup and you can return to your usual schedule immediately.
Every cosmetic procedure involves a certain amount of risk, and it is important that you understand this. Your decision to undergo any of these procedures is based on the comparison of the risk to potential benefit. Selecting a skilled and well trained injector who uses the highest quality injectable products is your best protection against such adverse effects. The possible side effects and complications depend on the exact product and treatment being used. Our team of doctors and nurses will be able to answer any questions that you may have before you make a decision regarding treatment.
One of the greatest advantages of these products is that they are long-lasting. Unlike permanent treatments or implants, dermal fillers allow you the opportunity to re-evaluate your needs when the initial effect has worn off. You will always have the option of continuing or changing the combination of treatments. A repeat procedure can be performed at any time after the previous treatment, usually after 6 to 24 months depending on the area treated.

Lip Enhancement
Dermal filler injections, administered by experienced clinicians with a well-trained aesthetic judgment, can significantly change the appearance of lips by restoring shape and definition. Many women and men feel self conscious about their lips and come to us with concerns regarding thin, flat lips; drooping at the corners of the mouth; a flattened out upper lip; overall loss of volume or the appearance of vertical lines around the mouth, particularly in smokers, that cause lipstick to bleed.
Expert injections of dermal fillers can refine, fill, lift or plump the lips as well as re-define the shape of the lip and lip line. With techniques available at Liberty Belle you can achieve improved shape or lift of the lip without necessarily having lips enlarged if this is your preference. Contrary to common belief, muscle-relaxing anti-wrinkle injections are not used for enhancing the volume or fullness of the lips.

We offer a full range of scientifically proven injectable dermal filler products for enhancing the lips. The dermal filler injections used at Liberty Belle contain a purified complex sugar which is found naturally throughout our skin and body. These products do not contain any animal products.
Each product is carefully selected depending on each individual’s aims. At Liberty Belle our experienced doctors and clinical nurse specialists will advise on which of the products will be most suitable to achieve the result and look you are after.
- Volume and pout
- Shape
- Definition
- Vertical lines often referred to as smokers’ lines or lipstick bleed lines can also be softened and filled.
Here are some common questions our patients ask during their consultation.
Lip enhancement takes about 30 minutes.
The area sometimes requires some prior numbing with local anaesthetic to eliminate or reduce any discomfort. Should it occur, it is only temporary.
As there is usually some swelling and occasionally a small bruise that resolve within about 24 — 72 hours, we suggest that you carefully plan social engagements for at least 48 hours after the procedure.
The duration of the effect varies from person to person and depends on the product used. The results are not permanent but decline slowly over time so treatments can be repeated or adjusted to suit your desired result. Generally these products last between 6 — 18 months. Our team of doctors and nurses will be able to assess and decide on the product to be used, whilst answering any questions that you may have before making a decision on your treatment options.

Facial Enhancement
At Liberty Belle Skin Centre we offer an injectable skincare treatment that rejuvenates and improves the quality of large areas of skin from the inside, for example on the face, on the throat, in the décolletage and on the hands. Our injectable skincare products are applied to the skin via a number of small injections over a large area of skin. Injectable skincare treatments are used to hydrate the skin immediately and improve skin texture over the course of numerous months. It may be recommended that you have several treatments to achieve the result you are after. During these treatments the skin is gradually built up and obtains more lustre, a better moisture balance and increased firmness and elasticity.
