Pain Management and Tissue Healing
A skin rejuvenation consultation and care plan are required before any treatment. This enables us to assess each patients’ aspirations and concerns to advise what combination of treatments will best achieve the desired result.
This consultation is 20min and includes a series of photographs. Each patient will leave with a care plan which includes recommended home care as well as in-clinic treatments.

Antiwrinkle Injections
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal Fillers are a non-surgical treatment primarily used to shape and proportion the face.
They are used to re-volumise when lost volume cause folds, wrinkles or flattening of an area. Facial volume loss is one of the key factors in the aging process so dermal fillers help to replenish this lost volume and rejuvenate the face, restoring it to a more youthful, plump, natural-looking beauty.
Dermal fillers are aesthetic gel-based cosmetic treatments that are injected into the skin. They are a practical, non-surgical method designed to soften creases and folds, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and increase or restore volume to the face for a more vibrant and youthful shape. Different grades of dermal fillers are used for other areas of the face, such as the lips, cheeks and under the eyes. At Tamar Skin Clinic, we only use the highest quality fillers: those that are scientifically proven, medically safe, biodegradable, and reasonably long-lasting.
What areas can be targeted?
With age, elastin and collagen in the face begin to break down, and the face gradually loses its volume and youthful contour. This process contributes to the formation of folds and wrinkles, giving the face a prematurely aged and tired look.
Dermal fillers are used to both correct and postpone signs of ageing. This treatment helps refine your profile and support underlying structures that become worn with age.
- Rejuvenate ageing lips, which lose volume and become thinner with time.
- Enhance younger lips for a plumper, more defined overall outline, as well as a lustrous lip line.
- Correct the downturned corners of the lips (the marionette fold), which can portray a sad, even angry appearance.
- Smooth outlines around the lips (smoker’s lines) may cause lipstick to bleed.
- Erase cheek folds (nasolabial folds) which can give a tired appearance.
- Reinflate cheeks that have lost volume over time for a fuller, revitalised profile.
- Reduce dark circles under the eyes (tear troughs) to correct the perpetually fatigued, stressed appearance and give a more well-rested look.
- Subtly reshape the nose for a more flattering and proportionate shape and size.
During an initial skin rejuvenation consultation, your injector will consider your reasons for treatment, as well as your needs, expectations, and aesthetic goals. How the treatment is performed will be explained, along with the appropriate measures to be used to achieve your ideal facial profile.
After the fillers are injected, there is generally no downtime required. Typically, patients can return to work or do regular day-to-day activities immediately following the procedure. Usually, patients experience swelling and sometimes mild bruising. This disappears over one week.
Depending on the type of fillers used, the areas treated, and your skin habits, results may last from 4 to 24 months.
While fillers do not prevent ageing, they will allow you to enjoy a youthful, refreshed, and fuller profile for longer while postponing the onset of folds and wrinkles. Eventually, the fillers do break down and naturally dissolve in the skin.
