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=\"background-color:transparent;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 beautifully. As we move through our 30s, 40s, and beyond, several structural changes occur at the same time. We gradually lose facial volume as the fat that once supported youthful contours depletes and shifts downward. </span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">Collagen production slows, meaning the skin becomes less firm and elastic. The underlying bone structure also changes, particularly through the cheeks and jaw, altering the framework that supports the face. At the same time, levels of hyaluronic acid fall, leading to dehydration and loss of that naturally plump, luminous skin quality.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">In youth, the face is shaped like an inverted triangle — wider and fuller through the cheeks, gently tapering towards the chin. This is often referred to as the <i>triangle of youth</i>. As these age-related changes take place, that triangle gradually reverses. Volume is lost from the mid-face, the lower face becomes heavier, and shadows begin to form where light once reflected smoothly.</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=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">Here is something that frightens me about the aesthetics industry and many people are not aware of: dermal fillers are medical devices, yet they are being administered in settings with no medical oversight whatsoever.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">I regularly meet patients who have experienced problems following filler treatments carried out by non-medical practitioners.
