Dermal Fillers
At British Cosmetic Clinic we pride ourselves in offering some of the highest quality techniques when administering our fillers. Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are used to restore volume and fullness to the face, as well as to smooth out wrinkles, lines, and folds. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body that helps to hydrate and add volume to the skin. When injected as a dermal filler, it can plump up thin lips, soften facial creases and wrinkles, and improve the appearance of scars. Hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary and typically last between 6 and 18 months.
What dermal fillers can do:
- Plump thin lips
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of recessed scars
- Reconstruct contour deformities in the face
- Decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids
Post Treatment: The affected area may be a bit red, sore and swollen. Any swelling or bruising should settle down in a few days. You should be advised about what to do to help reduce the risk of side effects. This includes not wearing make-up immediately after the procedure and avoiding alcohol, coffee and the sun.
Important:
It’s important to note that while dermal fillers are generally safe when administered by a trained and licensed healthcare professional, there are risks associated with any medical procedure. These risks can include infection, allergic reactions, and the formation of nodules or lumps under the skin. It’s important to discuss the risks and benefits of dermal fillers with your healthcare provider before deciding whether they are right for you.

Fat Dissolving
Aqualyx®, developed for the non-surgical reduction of localised fat under the skin is a gel-based aqueous solution, which dissolves fat and is biocompatible and biodegradable.
Aqualyx® works by causing the dissolution of fat cells. The body then expels the released fatty acids naturally.
Aqualyx® is the only product available for ‘Aquaplasty’ or ‘Aqualysis’ (treatment) exclusively via Healthxchange Pharmacy.
Developed by renowned aesthetic surgeon the late Professor Motolese, Aqualyx® has been available internationally since 2009, and over 2,000,000 vials have been used for patient treatments in 49 countries worldwide.
The treatment should only be performed by a doctor or surgeon, and specialist training is given to every doctor before they offer Aqualysis™.
Typically, two treatments are required for each area being treated; patients report good tolerance of the treatment.
The treatment will be repeated between two and eight times depending on the number of small pockets of fat tissue to be reduced. The treatment is repeated every three to four weeks.
After each treatment patients can expect some swelling, redness and skin irritation and tenderness in the area treated, which will subside after four to six days.
Post Treatment:
Minimal side effects have been reported globally since its introduction, but patients can expect a little skin irritation, bruising and oedema, which will ease after a few days. Clients are advised to drink 3 litres a day for a week post treatment as this helps to achieve the best results. We also advise that clients massage the targeted area every three hours.

Thread Facelift
A thread lift is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that lifts and tightens your skin for a younger look while stimulating your body’s collagen production. Collagen creates firmer, more supple skin and naturally diminishes with age. A thread lift procedure has a quick recovery with minimal complications.
How do they work?
Ageing causes loss of facial fat, especially around the cheeks, eye area, jowls, and neck and elastic fibres in the skin become thinner resulting in loss of facial elasticity. This results in longer face and signs of ageing due to the “facial scaffolding”not being able to provide as much support.
The Procedure: involves the use of pro threads which when placed under the skin, tighten and lift loose or sagging areas in various parts of the face providing you with a visibly signs of ageing – results are highly effective! The lifting results are instantaneous. However, the best results are obtained after 3 months as PDO threads also stimulate the production of collagen, which help to tighten and lift the skin.
