What is filler?
Filler is made of Hyaluronic Acid. A water loving molecule that binds up to 400 x its weight in water. It works like a sponge and fills up with water upon injection filling out fine lines/wrinkles and plumping lips. Young skin is moisturized with this hyaluronic acid and naturally occurring sugar. It keeps our skin hydrated via absorption of the water. As we age, this volume of hyaluronic acid decreases and fine lines begin to appear that will eventually turn into wrinkles. In the lips, this causes thinning, loss of fullness, volume and definition.

Will it hurt?
A pre numb will be used for 10 minutes prior to the procedure to help minimize any initial discomfort. The injection itself also contains lidocaine (numb) within the product to ease pain of injection. Here at The Refinery Lab we use only the best products on the market, ensuring the smoothest of consistency and ease of injection.

Here at The Refinery Lab Miami we have gone the extra mile to ensure cannulas are available for all treatments. This is where a needle is used to pierce the skin only once and then a blunt device is inserted into one entry point from which the entire treatment is carried out. This technique is proven to cause less bruising due to no sharp needles and therefore less trauma resulting in less down time. You are welcome to request a cannula if you would prefer one although this is not recommended for lips as the area is so small and therefore a cannula would be less precise.

Will there be swelling?
You may experience redness, bruising or swelling in the injected area. These effects should not last longer than 2 weeks. Light makeup can be applied 6 hours after procedure.

Longevity/Duration
Every individual is different. What may give an immediate result on one client may take two or three sessions to achieve on another. Likewise, what may last 1 year on one client may last less than 12 weeks on another. This is due to several factors including lifestyle, skin type, metabolism etc. Filler does however take time to build up, regardless of how natural you want it. Please be patient and expect to visit frequently for touchups over the first year to build a base. This will help ensure your treatment area lasts longer and once that base is in place - should need less maintenance in the future.

Can I remove it?
In most cases filler can be dissolved and reversed by hyaluronidase. This is administered via small injections to break the product down.

Managing Expectations
Please remember we can only enhance our natural features. It is not possible to completely change them. Any treatment should be looked at as an improvement rather than a cure. It is not always possible to create the desired look if your facial anatomy and genetics do not allow. Please remember our faces are not symmetrical and sometimes no amount of filler can correct this - in some cases it may make it appear worse. Your technician will best advise on the day of your treatment but as always there is no guarantee.


Treatment by Area

Jawline Filler Miami
The Golden Ratio - The inverted triangle
Human beauty in science is based on the divine ratio of proportion. Studies have PROVEN a higher score of attractiveness is scored when faces have the golden ration. The Kylie package is individually tailored to help restore that ratio in YOU and enhance your UNIQUE, natural beauty.
Don’t get too set on what treatments you would like - as they may not be what is needed to restore your facial proportions. Facial proportions are important as they are what defines ‘human beauty’ in science. And are essentially what society would determine as more beautiful. In lay terms - the divine ratio resembles an upside down triangle or a ‘heart shape’. Arguably all of our clients are damn right beautiful before, and after. BUT equally it is still SO important to be open minded in your consultation. As what you think you want may take you further AWAY from the divine ratio of proportion and scientifically make you ‘less attractive’. Not what you came for right ?

Lips
Should I get 0.5 or 1 ml for my lips?
We sell our syringe by 1 ml.
This is down to personal preference and lip size/amount of previous filler. However, if this is your first treatment we recommend 1 ml ;
-0.5 ml will give a VERY subtle look once swelling goes down. Recommended for nervous clients who are happy to be patient in waiting for their results. Please note this will double the time it takes to build them and is not cost effective. It could take 4-6 sessions to reach your desired shape, regardless of how natural you want them.
-1 ml - recommended if it is your first time- you may look a little swollen immediately after. Once this swelling goes down they will settle to be visibly more plumped and volumized. This is more cost effective as it should take no longer than 2-3 sessions to build your lips to the desired shape.
​-1.5 ml for a more glamorous appearance ( not recommended for your first time). ​

Jaw/Chin
Where to start! Firstly it is important to note that a jawline simply does not work on everyone. We can't always predict this via photos but common precursors that would indicate a jawline procedure would not be suitable for yourself include;
- Those with a strong masseter muscle at the back of the jaw. ( You can feel this when you bite down ). If you see or feel any bulging then sadly it is not possible to define you in this area until you have had some botulinum toxin to relax it. We provide this service in our Westminster and Glasgow clinics.
- Those with a BMI over that of what is considered within the healthy range and/or those with excess fatty tissues in the area.
This is not liposuction nor a weight loss tool. It is there to simply define the jawbone which is impossible if any of the above is present.

Jawline - the average female jawline and chin augmentation ( believe us it looks weird without the chin ) requires 3-4ml for even the most natural results. This area quite literally eats product up. Sigh! For males - we recommend 5-6ml of product. Double sigh! (It's worth it - promise!)

If you are reading the above and feel like this is you - don’t panic - we've got you...
You want to feel and look slimmer? Sound familiar?
The good news is that providing you are open minded we can usually still help! We can often create the illusion of a slimmer face by lengthening the chin alone and straightening out the hollows either side. But please do not under estimate the amount of filler that is needed to do what is often presumed to be a small area - believe us it is not and for the best results a minimum of 2 ml is needed to contour. It is truly unbelievable what can be achieved from augmenting the chin alone.

Chin
From the front we can give the illusion of weight loss, contour and more definition.
From the side, we can balance the profile ( make the nose appear smaller, balance an overbite etc ) , give the illusion of a sharper jaw and thus slightly reduce the appearance of a double chin.
Do not underestimate the power of a chin. It is one of, if not the most effective procedure within the entire aesthetic industry.

Cheeks
The cheeks - I don’t want them to make me look fat!? Don’t worry - we have heard it all before and believe us - they will not make you fat. Unless you want them too.. of course.
Everybody’s zygomatic bone ( cheek bone ) is angled differently and thus gives the illusion of hollow cheeks, chubby cheeks, flat cheeks, harsh cheeks... the list goes on. The trick is to place filler strategically where YOU need it. When contouring - sitting the product high up towards the back of the cheek will give you a shadow beneath - and thus give the illusion of a far slimmer, heart shaped face. Think sucking your cheeks in kind of vibes - but not quite that extreme!
Alternatively- we can use product in the front portion of the cheek to fill areas that may have lost volume with age - giving a more youthful appearance. As with all of our procedures - the technician will tailor to suit YOU. Please note this is not a weight loss tool. If you have excessive fat in this area you will need around 3/4 ml for best results.

Tear Troughs
The aim is to smoothen out the hollow between two portions of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Please note not everyone is suitable for this procedure. Tear trough filler has a low density- and thus an ideal candidate should have sufficient skin thickness to mask the product within the hollow and under the skin. Thin skin with ‘sagging’ and high elasticity will not be able to hold product within the above parameters, or hide it and is therefore not a suitable candidate for the procedure. This does not improve pigmentation. Two procedures are needed for optimum results roughly 12 weeks apart. Lasts 6-12 months + This procedure is carried out only via a cannula for optimum safety and smooth results.

Rhinoplasty
The purpose of this procedure is primarily to straighten the nose from the side, giving the illusion that it is smaller and thus, balancing the profile. We can also add product to the tip to project it if it is de-projected or under projected. In some cases it is also possible to slim the appearance of the nose from the front or straighten it.
Please always expect more conservative results with a rhinoplasty. This procedure is inherently high-risk and therefore must be done spaced over two sessions 8-12 weeks apart before it is considered to be complete. This is to ensure maximum safety and minimal risk of complications such as compression, and in extremely rare cases - blindness.

Anti-Ageing
Firstly, dermal fillers are now considered to be a normal progression in age-ing. Everyone is at it! So don't worry - it's perfectly normal to want a little freshen up. One thing we do ask is to please be realistic with expectations - it is still not a face lift and mature skin is of course far less forgiving due to its elastosis. Sigh.
Moving on, we totally understand you don't want to look 'done' and promise to keep it natural, and conservative - at ALL costs. Our secret.
Unfortunately there is no set procedure that suits every individual. The effect of age-ing varies highly from person to person and thus highly influences our treatment plan.
For optimum results - please book a 4/5 ml combination package. We will tailor your treatment on the day.
Please note mature skin is prone to bruising so don't forget to purchase plenty of arnica cream to apply after your treatment as light makeup cannot be applied until 6 hours after.

Masculinisation
Men are scientifically proven to be considered more sexually desirable if they display wide features such as the chin, jawline, or sharp cheekbones. The male masculinization package is designed to restore this. The average male needs around 7-8ml but we can work with any amount from 6ml.
This can be booked under any 6/7/8/9ml personalized treatment package.

Miami Profile Rebalancing
Profile balancing restores the harmony of the face from a side profile. Profile rebalancing makes a younger face more beautiful and an older face more youthful. Each individual is different and therefore each individual will receive a bespoke treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. The areas we will focus our treatment on include 3 the following depending on the individual ;
-The Upper/Lower lip OR both depending on if the client has an over/underbite
-The chin if a client has an overbite and the chin sits behind the lower lip
-The tip of the nose/bridge of the nose
-Lateral Cheek

Aftercare
A F T E R C A R E A D V I C E

Initial Aftercare;

  • Avoid touching the treated area or applying with products for 6 hours following treatment. After that light makeup can be applied and the area can be gently washed with soap and water.

  • Until the initial swelling and redness has resolved please do not expose the area to intense heat. Eg sunbeds, sunbathing or extreme cold.

  • Please do not exercise for 48 hours after your procedure as it can cause migration of filler.

  • If you have previous suffered facial herpes, there is a risk that injections could contribute to another eruption.

  • If you are using aspirin or any similar medication, please be aware that this may increase the risk of bruising or bleeding at the injection site.


Any injection causes an inflammatory response – This means two things;


  1. This is not your final result - It is not uncommon for the treatment area to remain swollen for up to two weeks. During this time the area may look very uneven, feel bumpy, bruised, discolored and may feel sore. Please do not panic. It is normal during this period to not be entirely happy with your results. Patience here is key.


The final result will be apparent approximately 14 days after treatment. If you have any concerns, please book in for a review after this two-week period is up. Any initial discomfort during this period can be eased by application of ice.

  1. This is not your final result - Any injection causes an inflammatory response. This can easily cause disappointment over the following weeks because as the swelling subsides, the treatment area may look significantly less plump than it looked immediately after injection.


The filler has not dissolved nor disappeared, you have not wasted your money. The filler has simply sunken and formed a layer at the base of your treatment area. Many clients find they need two or three sessions in order to layer filler on top of one another – until the filler no longer has room to sink – leaving you with a fuller look.

Unfortunately, we cannot predict how many sessions each individual will need to achieve their desired result and therefore cannot be held accountable if several sessions are needed. The results of your treatment durability and end results are influenced by several genetic and lifestyle factors completely out of our control. Aesthetics is an art process - not an exact science.
