Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body already produces and plays a key role in skin hydration and structural support. The injection of dermal fillers is a minimally invasive procedure that delivers instant results with minimal downtime.</span></p>","9551510c-7e7c-4050-86b6-7d7743d053b7":"bg-navy","275f9f89-7d68-41ef-9e4d-b2f9f830d528":"Dr Rachel - The science of volume restoration","09b096a5-3744-49b5-aca3-68c5a759cee3":"<p><span style=\"color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">Let me explain what is really happening as your face ages, because this is key to understanding why dermal fillers can work so effectively. As we move through our 30s, 40s and beyond, several structural changes happen at the same time. We gradually lose facial volume as the fat that once supported youthful contours reduces and shifts downwards.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">Collagen production also slows, meaning the skin becomes less firm and elastic. The underlying bone structure changes too, particularly through the cheeks and jawline, subtly altering the framework that supports the face. At the same time, levels of hyaluronic acid decline, meaning the skin holds less moisture and can start to look less plump and radiant.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">In youth, the face is often shaped like an inverted triangle, with fullness through the cheeks and gentle tapering towards the chin. This is sometimes called the <i>triangle of youth</i>. As these changes occur, that triangle gradually reverses. Volume is lost from the mid-face, the lower face can appear heavier, and shadows begin to form where light once reflected smoothly. This is often when people notice they look more tired, even when they feel well.</span></p>","00524f8a-98d9-4f47-b5d0-b4c407115118":[4753],"fb812f21-7614-47e0-b55a-8ed5607b5f4b":false,"556a3ac6-956d-48f1-b64a-184871e63dde":"Dr Rachel  - Why doctor-led dermal fillers matter","c38db626-85ba-4201-9240-e8c2b19beb5e":"<p><span style=\"color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">There is something many people are not aware of in the aesthetics industry: dermal fillers are medical devices, yet they are sometimes administered in settings without medical oversight. Dermal filler treatments may look simple, but they involve complex anatomy and carry medical risks that require appropriate training to manage safely.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">Your face is complex and highly vascular, and treatments should always be approached with a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and safety. Potential risks can include blocked blood vessels, skin injury, filler migration or unsatisfactory aesthetic outcomes. While some issues are minor, others require urgent medical assessment and treatment. <strong>It is not the syringe that keeps you safe, but the training, anatomy knowledge and clinical judgement of the person holding it.</strong></span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">As a </span><a href=\"https://www.gmc-uk.org/registrants/7488274\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\"><strong>GMC-registered doctor</strong></span></a><span style=\"color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\"> and practising GP, I bring over 10 years of clinical, diagnostic and emergency care experience to every appointment.
