As we age, our skin begins to lose facial fat and elasticity due to the reduction in collagen which causes soft tissue to sag and deep lines and wrinkles to appear. Fillers work by providing a matrix onto which the body’s own tissue can grow, adding volume. Essentially, they ‘fill in’ deep lines and wrinkles, recreating a youthful look.

At Natura, our doctors treat wrinkles with a simple injection into the skin. The procedure is fast and efficient, taking on average just 30 minutes or less, with very little pain, if any. There are no side effects to worry about, apart from some occasional bruising that quickly settles down.

Natura offers three different types of fillers. The type of filler required varies depending upon the desired results, depth of lines, lifestyle and age. Your doctor will advise you on the treatment that’s right for you at your free Skin Evaluation.

Radiesse, for long-lasting results
The effects of our cutting-edge Radiesse treatment programme can last for several years, making it a hassle-free way of maintaining smooth, wrinkle free skin. There’s no need for an allergy test prior to Radiesse filler injections, as the microspheres are comprised of calcium hydroxylapatite: a substance naturally found in the body.

Restylane, the wonder filler
Another filler treatment Natura offers is Restylane, often hailed as a ‘wonder-filler’, to achieve that perfect ‘pout’ whilst avoiding the dreaded ‘trout’. This is a range of hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler products that reduce lines, folds, wrinkles and contours safely and effectively, creating volume and improving skin appearance. Restylane is also perfect for filling in Acne Scarring.

Over time, the Restylane is gradually reabsorbed into the bloodstream without any trace, so follow-up treatments may be required every six to twelve months, which will be discussed with our doctors upon consultation.

Teosyal, for softer results
Natura’s third specialist treatment is renowned Teosyal that’s been designed from biofermentation hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in our body. This makes it safe and completely biocompatible, as well as wholly biodegradable. Teosyal filler is softer and focuses on superficial fine lines and wrinkles, such as crows’ feet and forehead lines.

Teosyal is virtually pain-free, and applied directly into the upper-dermis for immediate and lasting results. The key lies in the application: the more precise the application, the fewer treatments you will need, which is why it’s essential to place yourself in the hands of a qualified and experienced doctor such as at Natura. Results depend on your lifestyle, but most people would need no more than two treatments a year to achieve a natural, flawless effect.
