Natural alternative to Botox and fillers

25th April 2008 Print
You’ve heard the horror stories of unqualified nurses and beauty therapists performing Botox and filler injections. With over 60 different fillers available in the UK versus the handful legalised in the US, it’s no wonder there is so much controversy about what injectible to choose and who to administer it.

There is a treatment that does not use any chemicals, lasts over eight times longer than Botox and fillers and there is no relaxing of the muscles and no danger of malpractice.

Fat Transfer is a simple technique, no more painful or time-consuming than a Botox or fillers. A tiny needle is injected into an area of the body with excess fat such as the thighs, inner knees, buttocks and tummy. The content of the syringe is then injected into the skin to smooth out lines and wrinkles under local aesthetic.

Fat transfer is common practice in the US but the UK is slow to catch-on and the treatment is not yet widely available. This tried and tested technique has been available for over 20 years and is safe when performed by a qualified surgeon.

Of course, at a fraction of the cost of a face-lift, it’s unlikely that most surgeons will willingly offer the treatment versus a full invasive procedure. However, the consultants at London’s first purpose-built cosmetic surgery clinic, West London Clinic, are available for a consultation without charge to discuss all your options.

If you are considering a facelift, get free impartial advice first. You may save money on your regular Botox and filler injections or even delay a face-lift with Fat Transfer.

Hands and breasts can be treated too and you can leave the clinic within 30 minutes of your treatment.

Fat Transfers:

- Fat Transfer starts from around £800 for one area and last between 3 to 5 years
- Fat that is injected is like any other kind of fat which therefore increases in proportion
- Fat Transfer is long lasting, it needs to be done by a qualified surgeon
- Commonly used as an adjunct face lift but can also be used in conjunction with face lifting
- No contra indications
