Every dermal filler treatment at PRP London Clinic follows a structured clinical protocol designed to maximise safety, precision, and patient satisfaction.
Consultation and Facial Assessment
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where your doctor assesses your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and identifies the treatment areas that will deliver the most impactful results. This includes photographic documentation, assessment of facial proportions, and evaluation of skin quality, fat pad distribution, and bone structure.
Product Selection
Based on the assessment, your doctor recommends specific products from our range of Juvéderm, Restylane, Revolax, and Teosyal fillers. Each product is chosen for its rheological properties — G-Prime (structural rigidity), cohesivity, and hydrophilicity — to match the anatomical demands of the target area. A high G-Prime filler like Juvéderm Volux is ideal for chin projection; a soft, hydrophilic product like Teosyal Redensity II is required for the tear trough.
Injection Techniques: Needle vs Cannula
Our doctors are trained in both sharp-needle and blunt-tip micro-cannula techniques, and select the appropriate approach for each treatment area:
- Sharp Needle — Used where millimetre-level precision is essential: Cupid's bow definition, vermilion border refinement, precise nasolabial fold correction, and small asymmetry adjustments.
- Blunt-Tip Micro-Cannula — Preferred for larger volume placements in the cheeks, chin, jawline, and tear trough. The blunt tip navigates around blood vessels rather than through them, significantly reducing the risk of vascular occlusion, bruising, and downtime.
Many treatments combine both techniques — for example, cannula for cheek volume placement followed by needle for fine contour refinement. Your doctor explains the rationale for each decision before any injection takes place.
