The areas we currently treat include vertical frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines and crow’s feet around the eyes.

Many clients begin treatments in their late 20s to delay the onset of wrinkles. The treatment can also improve and reduce fine lines and wrinkles in more mature clients.

It usually takes up to 10 minutes to cleanse your face and then administer the wrinkle-smoothing injections.

You are unlikely to see results immediately. It usually takes about two to three days for the injections to start working and about two to three weeks to see the full effects.

Dermal fillers are substances injected into the skin to add volume and fullness to areas of the face. The dermal fillers we use are always made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally produced by the human body.

The majority of Highfield Aesthetic dermal filler treatments use Merz Belotero hyaluronic acid products. We find that Belotero products integrate smoothly into the tissues to give a natural look. The hydrophilic properties allow this filler to bind to water in the skin’s layers resulting in the effective smoothing of facial wrinkles.

Dermal fillers can be used to provide re-shaping of the lips, chin and cheeks. When strategically placed by an expert practitioner, dermal fillers can help to balance your facial profile, defining your chin and cheek bones to give a more proportionate appearance for both men and women. They can also be used to smooth smoker’s lines (also known as peri-oral lines), that sometimes form around the upper lip of long-term smokers. They can also be used to treat deeper set wrinkles, including naso-labial lines (smile lines) and marionette lines.

The results of injectable treatments, such as Botox and dermal fillers, can last from months to a couple of years, depending on the product used and the person. Individual results vary from person to person. Depending on the area treated, we expect our results to last anywhere between six and 18 months.

It takes an average of 20-30 minutes per dermal fillers treatment.

You may experience a headache or mild flu-like symptoms for the first 24 hours after Botox treatment.

After having dermal fillers, the area that has been treated may be a bit red, sore and swollen. We see a lot of clinics claiming that there is “no downtime” following filler treatments, however some bruising, lumps and bumps can occur and may last a few days.

If you are a new client, we always offer to book you in for a two-week follow up appointment to make sure you’re happy with the results.

At Avance Clinic and Highfield Aesthetic, safety is paramount.

Looking fabulous is great but, with us, your safety comes first.

With aesthetic treatments becoming more popular, there are people out there performing these injections without ANY medical qualifications.

Anaphylaxis (a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction) is a medical emergency and can happen when injecting anything into the body. Is your practitioner able to recognise the signs? Do they have an emergency protocol in place? Do they carry medication used to treat this and are they qualified to prescribe this? Highfield Aesthetics is run by Aman Gahunia, a qualified pharmacist prescriber.

At Highfield Aesthetics, we understand that injectable treatments can carry risks. We ensure that all of our clients have a consultation where a medical history is taken and suitability for treatment is assessed. If we do not think you are suitable for a specific treatment, we will not treat you.

We always like to ensure that we are on hand to answer any queries or concerns you may have following a treatment. For this reason, we will never perform treatments if our clients are planning to go away on holiday within the next two weeks.

Aman is a registered aesthetic practitioner with the Aesthetics Complications Expert (ACE) group. ACE is a non-profit organisation, which puts together evidence-based, peer-reviewed guidelines for the management of aesthetic-related complications.

Safe practice is always at the forefront of what we do at Highfield Aesthetics. Being part of ACE will encourage continued learning and client-centred care within the field of non-surgical aesthetics.
