Answer: Good question.
Personally I prefer to treat the skin with microneedling supported by specific home skincare (Vitamin C, Sunscreen, retinal and stem cell proteins.)
This naturally stimulates the skin to regenerate the skin through all layers to improve texture, firmness, even out skin tones, reduce scarring and improve elasticity.
In cases where there is a lot of sun damage, wrinkling or scarring from acne or chicken pox etc I would also suggest peels
I'd suggest at least 3-6 regular treatments to see the improvements
If a client required more correction we can then progress to Ellanse collagen stimulation
In all cases we recommend a holistic approach of prescribed home skincare, regular skin treatments and good diet then if injectables are needed the end result will look more natural and harmonious

Answer: Hi Niall, great question but not a simple answer. Filler give an almost instant response and can be used for many different areas. To restore volume or help with folds. Microneedling is much more of a behind the scenes treatment. Stimulating collagen production. I don’t use any of the fillers you mentioned. I use Teoxane which has been established for over 20 years - so I understand its dynamics and know there’ll be no surprises. These questions would be great to be followed up with a consultation- how does that sound ? Sarah

Answer: Hi thank you for your message. It depends what you are trying to treat and which area etc. Dermal fillers are great for adding volume and smoothing fine lines. RF micro needling works more on the skin texture and laxity, by using your own collagen function to smooth lines and wrinkles and improve the skin appearance. If you would like to discuss these treatments in more detail you are welcome to come in for a consultation where we can assess you properly and discuss your concerns.

Answer: I would recommend attending for a complimentary consultation as we wouldn't be able to advise which would be better without an appointment to assess your skin to create a personalised recommendation for you.

Answer: Hello Niall
The best treatment depends on the problem and expectations. RF microneedling is wonderful at tightening skin as long as you have good shape and bone, so no tooth loss leading to bone loss, once you have bone loss then a face lift is best for a very firm outcome.
Dermal fillers are wonderful for changing shape, eg giving you chin projection, nose shape, brow projection. Replacing where you may have lost shape temples, cheeks, chin, neck, with instant results.
I always use a dermal filler that is non-permanent because your face is non-permanent as you age and permanent filler such as bellafill can be seen years later.
Ellanse is a bio-stimulator that helps to enhance skin tightening as well as giving an immediate result and longer duration 24 months
Sculptra a PLLA is a bio-stimulator that takes time yet creates shape, lift and tightening, long lasting results 36 months
Revanesse is a Hyluronic acid dermal filler that will give immediate results but not improve the tightness of your skin duration 12 months.
What is best for you? Come and have a face to face consultation, after looking and feeling your face and understanding the underlying anatomy then i will be able to answer the question personally.
Kind regards
Dr Victoria
