Lips & HeartLips ®

Dermal filler is made from a product called Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar that exists in almost all living organisms, including us. Its key role is to absorb water and transport nutrients to the skin, ensuring that the structure and volume is maintained.

All facial aesthetic treatments are carried out by Dr Khanna himself.

On arrival to your appointment, any makeup will be removed and the area will be sanitised. We will apply a topical anaesthetic on to the injection sites, to ensure the treatment is as pain-free as possible.

The product is administered with the use of a cannula, which helps to keep swelling and bruising to a minimum. A little discomfort is not uncommon. However, if you feel particularly sensitive, we are able to administer a local anaesthetic, although in most cases this is not necessary.

The appointment is booked in for around 30 minutes. This allows time for cleansing of the skin, numbing and the treatment itself.

The beauty of dermal fillers are that the results take effect immediately (although it's worth noting you may experience mild swelling initially). Furthermore, results actually continue to develop over the course of the month, as your own natural collagen is stimulated by the hyaluronic acid.

Here at DrBK, we perform all aesthetic treatments in a 2 step process, so you will be invited to attend a review appointment 3 weeks post-procedure. At this appointment, any adjustments will be made, if necessary.

The effects are long-lasting, non-permanent and reversible. Due to this, most of our patients will return for a top up, every 6-12 months.

The majority of reactions to dermal filler treatments post-procedure, are generally minimal and temporary. You should expect a degree of mild swelling, and slight bruising is a possibility. However, these reactions should subside within the week.

It's worth noting that Dr Khanna is one of the most highly-respected clinicians in the facial aesthetics industry, so you are in the most safe and capable hands at all times.

After treatment, we advise you to avoid touching or rubbing the area to ensure placement of the product is not manipulated, for up to 2 weeks.

Any facial treatments, as well as saunas (or anything involving extreme temperatures) should be avoided for up to 2 weeks. Full, written, aftercare instructions will be provided on the day of treatment, for you to take home with you.

If you decide to go ahead with dermal filler treatment, we will book you in for an initial consultation to discuss your desired results and ensure that you are suitable for treatment. We use a holistic approach here at DrBK, so Dr Khanna will assess your whole face, and create a bespoke treatment plan to ensure the most natural, but beautiful results.

At DrBK we use the Pluryal® range of filler products.

Professor Khanna had been fortunate enough to have used the products for nearly 5 years whilst on his international engagements before implementing them into the clinic. When asked to sum up the product range from his personal experience, he simply states "outstanding", making it his go-to range.

There are several advantages to using the Pluryal filler range over other brands:

• Extremely easy to inject
• One of the lowest residual BDDE, endotoxin and protein levels on the market
• Excellent tissue integration and elasticity, helping to provide very natural results
• Extremely low incidence of post-op swelling (this is related to the low levels of residual BDDE, endotoxin and protein levels)
• Extremely low incidence of adverse reactions (0.00002%)
• Excellent G' factor for the volume and contour products which can be used in cheeks and chins as appropriate, giving a high lifting capacity
• Very competitively priced
• Available with or without lidocaine
