Dermal fillers are manufactured from bacteria that closely resemble the naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid. These bacteria help the skin retain more water, and this makes it smooth and tight. The cosmetic treatment will start off with a discussion on what results you wish to see and determine which filler to use and how we should deliver the treatment. The fillers are injected in specific sections of the skin where you wish to correct wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Local anaesthesia may be used to reduce discomfort during the procedure. Cosmetic fillers work temporarily and usually last for a period of 6 to 18 months.

Lip augmentation, or lip filling, is a cosmetic procedure done to make lips fuller and plumper. The procedure is as simple as injecting a dermal filler into the lips; this makes the lips look slightly bigger and remove the lines around the mouth. There are a wide range of dermal fillers that can be used, the most common ones feature hyaluronic acid. This is a natural substance that the body produces. Lip fillers are used to address different issues and are also used to remove wrinkles that form on the face. Some of the concerns addressed by this treatment include: Increasing the fullness of narrow lips Bettering lip definition

Sclerotherapy for the treatment of varicose veins involves the use of a sclerosant (a substance which seals up blood vessels when injected) and has been used for many years to treat small varicose veins. Over recent years a technique has been developed which allows sclerotherapy to be used to treat larger varicose veins (up to 1cm in diameter). This involves mixing the sclerosant with air bubbles to create a foam. Local anaesthesia is used to numb the skin and using ultrasound scanning, a small amount of foam is injected into the vein being treated. Following the procedure a bandage and stocking are sited on the leg which need to remain in place for around 1 week. The stocking should be worn for a further week after the bandage is removed. Some patients require a second injection for residual veins after a period of 3 to 4 weeks. Most patients are able to return to their normal routine immediately following foam sclerotherapy treatment for varicose veins. Complications are unusual but include bruising or discomfort around the needle site, phlebitis, a small area of skin discoloration overlying the vein and rarely, ulceration. We are situated in the North West, in the city of Chester. Many of our patients come to us from Liverpool, Manchester, the Wirral, St Helens, Stockport, Warrington and North Wales. We are happy to help anyone that lives outside of these areas too!
