Dermal Fillers & Cheek Fillers
What are dermal & Cheek fillers?
Over time, skin can lose its elasticity and smoothness, but you can keep wrinkles at bay with the DrBk Clinic. As we grow older, the underlying tissues which give our skin a plump, youthful appearance tend to break down, resulting in laughter lines and crow's feet. Dermal fillers work to combat this problem. When injected below the skin, they can pump up those sunken or creased areas to help you regain the fullness of youth.
If you'd like to restore youthful fullness to your face, enjoy plump lips, enhance shallow contours or soften those facial creases and wrinkles, dermal fillers may be the answer. Dermal fillers have been called "liquid facelifts" because they offer many of the benefits of a surgical facelift without the downtime.
Although they can't help with excess sagging skin, these soft tissue fillers can add more volume and provide immediate results at a lower cost than surgery. These treatments aren't permanent, however, and they must be repeated and maintained.
Dermal fillers, such as lip or cheek fillers, can be used to give better definition to facial features. Get a plumper pout or enjoy sharper looking cheekbones with expert cheek fillers.
Some dermal fillers are used in conjunction with other skin rejuvenation treatments such as injections of botulinum toxin. Your plastic surgeon will assess your needs and recommend one or a combination of treatments to achieve your desired results

PAIN-FREE LASER HAIR REMOVAL WITH SOPORANO XL
Laser Hair Removal Reading, Ascot
How many times have you wished you no longer had to shave, pluck or wax unwanted hair? And have you ever worried about the pain of the procedure?
Now there’s a comfortable way to permanently eliminate regrowing hair, thanks to Pain-Free, Hair-Free. The Dr BK clinic can help you with laser hair removal in reading.
Pain-Free, Hair-Free gently heats targeted hair follicles with gentle pulses of laser energy, while you stay comfortable. Nearly any part of the body can be treated safely and comfortably, including the face, neck, legs, arms, bikini line, back and stomach.
The treated anagen hair usually drops out 2 to 3 weeks after treatment.
Because the laser hair removal system is constantly in motion, many patients say that Pain-Free, Hair-Free treatments feel similar to a “hot stone massage.”
Pain-Free, Hair-Free Laser Hair Removal is:
- Virtually pain-free with no medication or other pre-treatment required
- Long-lasting
- Quick—treatments are usually under an hour
- Recovery-free, so you can return to normal activities immediately
- Effective for all skin types, including tanned skin, as well as different hair types
- More complete in coverage than other laser hair removal options
- Perfect for any area of the body—including more sensitive areas like the face, neck and bikini area
Will there be any redness or discomfort after treatment?
Side effects are rare and transient, minimal warmth or redness or none at all. If the skin is pink or red after treatment, this usually resolves within minutes or at most within a day or so.
Sensitive skin usually tolerates the Soprano XL treatment well with no side effects, however if redness occurs it is temporary and resolves quickly (varying with individuals).
All lasers present a risk of burning and blistering to the skin however with the Soprano XL these risks are reduced more than ever before possible with lasers.
The Soprano XL new patented technology allows for maximum efficiency and yet with more safety and less risk of side effects than ever before possible.
Can I wear make up on the treatment area?
Yes you can wear make up before your treatment, remove it in the clinic and reapply it straight after treatment if you wish.
How often do I have treatment?
For the face we find that 4 – 6 weeks apart, or even 7-8 weeks when much of the hair is gone, gives the best results.
For the body, the hair is slower growing and usually 8 – 12 weeks apart works very well. The first couple of treatments may be 6 -8 weeks apart then progressively increasing to 9 – 12 weeks as the hair growth slows due to treatment.
What is anagen hair?
Hair grows in cycles called Anagen, Catagen and Telogen. The anagen hair is the active or growing hair which is attached to the blood supply in the follicle. The other 2 stages are shedding and resting. Only the anagen hair can be effectively, permanently destroyed during laser hair removal which is why having your treatments at certain intervals is required, in order to destroy the follicles entering the anagen stage.

Lip Filler with the DrBK Clinic
Lip Fillers
For many people a fuller and more sensuous mouth comes high on their wish list. From our late twenties our lips start to become thinner with fine lines eventually starting to appear around the mouth.

Whether its to add lost volume or just to redefine the lip contours you will be impressed by our instant results with our lip filler procedures. You decide how subtle / obvious you want your new lips to appear.
See the instant before and after photos from our patients after lip fillers >>
One of the most effective ways to achieve a more friendly and inviting look is through non-surgical lip enhancement.
What are some of the most common benefits of this surgery?
Whether you have always had thin lips, or you want to return your lips to the shape and fullness they had when you were younger, a lip augmentation procedure may provide you with the look you want. If you are dissatisfied or self-conscious about your lips, this surgery can open up new possibilities for you to change your appearance and self-image.
What will happen at the initial consultation?
During the consultation, you will have the opportunity to talk to the consultant about the changes that you’d like to make in your appearance. He will explain the different options available to you, the procedure itself, and the risks and limitations involved as well as the anesthesia required. Be sure to as all the questions you have about the surgery. Learning everything you can about your options, risks and benefits is the key to making an informed decision.
It is important that you explain the results that you would like. Bring photos to what you like and what you don’t like. Our consultant will be able to tell you if you are a good candidate for lip augmentation.
How is a lip augmentation performed?
There are many different types of lip augmentation procedures, each with particular advantages and limitations as will be explained below.
Injections:
Injections involve filling the lip with a soft substance to create a fuller appearance. Collagen and fat are the most widely used inject-able substances.
Prepared from the collagen found in cow skin, collagen injections are used to temporarily augment the lips. Although it is purified, this collagen may cause allergic reactions in some people. For that reason, a sensitivity test should be performed before the actual lip augmentation procedure. Collagen is guaranteed by the manufacturer to be BSE-free.
Collagen is injected into the lip with a small needle. Because the body slowly absorbs the collagen, the results generally last between six and seven months. The procedure may be repeated as needed.
Fat injections are also placed in the lips with small needles. The fat used is harvested from another area of the body - most often the abdomen or the inner thighs - and is purified before it is injected into the lips. An advantage to this procedure is that there is no possibility of an allergic reaction. As with collagen injections, results are temporary. The procedure is often performed more than once to achieve desired results.
