BUTT and Calf augmentation and Contouring with Hyacorp in London

How is non-surgical Butt/Calf augmentation carried out non-surgically?

Non-surgical Butt/Calf augmentation is carried out using dermal fillers ( Hyacorp MLF 1 and Hyacorp MLF 2) that have an immediate filling effect or using poly lactic acid( Sculptra or ------) that produce volume by stimulating collagen. 

What are HyaCorp dermal fillers?

HYAcorp fillers are a range of absorbable dermal fillers made from crosslinked hyaluronic acid and is mainly used for restoring volume and contouring the body. Each product varies in crosslinking degree, particle size and concentration of hyaluronic acid. The correct combination of these three factors is what allows every product to suit each area of injection. This high purity hyaluronic acid is of non-animal origin, meaning it avoids potential foreign protein reactions, which can occur in hyaluronic acids from animal sources. 

What are Hyacorp fillers used for? 

With no stitches, scars and minimal downtime required, hyaluronic acid body fillers provide the client with a fast and safe alternative to re-shape the body. HYAcorp body line is composed of two products, HYAcorp MLF1 and HYAcorp MLF2. While they have the same concentration of hyaluronic acid (20mg), the size of their particles differs.

HYAcorp MLF1 is designed for the contouring and re-shaping of small areas of the body like for the correction of concave deformities or calves. 

HYAcorp MLF2 which has bigger particles, is specially designed for volumising, contouring and re-shaping of big areas of the body e.g., Butt and thighs. The size of the particles and the composition of HYAcorp MLF2 provides maximal volumizing results in body contouring. It comes in 10ml syringe.

At Clapham Cosmetic Clinic, we use HYAcorp for a range of treatments including;

What happens prior to the procedure? 

At Clapham Skin Clinic, we follow the following protocol:

• Telephonic/face to face Consultation with our doctor who will take a full medical history. 
• Assessment of the area to be treated based on face to face/ video consultation and photographs .
• If deemed suitable for the procedure, we will schedule you for the procedure after giving you a thinking time( cooling off period) so that you can take an informed decision. 

How is the procedure performed?

Procedure will be performed under all aseptic precautions and local anaesthetic injections will be given to minimise the discomfort. After completing the procedure the injection sites are covered with small dressings. 

How long do Hyacorp fillers last ?

HYAcorp fillers offer non-permanent but long-lasting results. Individual factors like client age, metabolism, skin type, life style and immune system can all influence how long treatment effects will last before being safely eliminated by the body. The results can typically last between 6 to 18 months. Typically, clients require follow-up treatment 6 to 12 months after an initial treatment of body contouring.

• Inflammatory reactions such as redness, swelling, oedema, erythema, etc., possibly combined with itching or pain when pressure is applied, can occur. These reactions may persist for about few days.
• Haematomas, indurations or nodules may appear at the site of the injection.
• Very rare cases of colouring or bleaching of the injected area have been reported.
