Contouring Injections are a non-invasive treatment used to restore youth and volume to the face. Our skin begins to lose its elasticity and natural hydration as we age. This, combined with the effects of gravity, can lead to lines, wrinkles and skin sagging.
Contouring Injections, dermal fillers, soft tissue fillers, lip fillers or wrinkle fillers are used to help create a smoother and/or fuller appearance in the face or correct facial asymmetry. Common areas that are injected include lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, tear troughs and non-surgical rhinoplasty.
WHO WILL BE INJECTING?
At AH Cosmetic Clinic, you can rest assured that you will receive a contour injection from Dr Ali Hussain himself following a consultation to confirm your suitability. Dr Ali Hussain has extensive experience in injecting dermal fillers and undertakes regular training to ensure that he is using the most current, up-to-date methods for maximum patient satisfaction.
Dr Ali’s method of injecting reduces the chances of bruising, and with excellent aftercare, you can rest assured that you are in good hands.
HOW LONG UNTIL I SEE A RESULT?
You will see an immediate result from treatment with a dermal filler. Please see our extensive gallery of happy patients on our Facebook page or Instagram.
HOW LONG WILL THE TREATMENT TAKE & WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME?
Contouring injections are a quick procedure. You will require a consultation with Dr Ali Hussain to confirm your suitability before injecting; the value of the consultation will be deducted from your final total on the day. In total, you should reserve approximately forty-five minutes. You can return to your daily activities immediately after the procedure; however, you must avoid hot showers and exercise for a period of 24 hours post-treatment
