State-of-the-Art Filler Range Comes to Viva Clinic

As if Dr Patel hadn't had enough recognition so far this year (and let's not forget, it's only June – there are still another six months to go!), in April he was asked to be one of just four British doctors to conduct the Allergan annual 100-1 masterclass.

Traditionally, Allergan – manufacturers of Botox and the Juvederm range of dermal fillers – have always used Mauricio de Maio, a Brazilian cosmetic surgeon and in the words of Dr Patel: “Probably the foremost specialist globally in facial aesthetics”, to run their masterclasses.

This year, however, they departed from this tradition and chose four Local Country Ambassadors, or LCAs to work alongside Dr de Maio, one of whom was Dr Patel. “I suppose if the Tatler award was one of the things that I'm most proud of, this is without doubt the crowning glory of my career to date,” Dr Patel confesses.

The masterclass showcased Allergan's latest collection of dermal fillers, the Vycross range – and what a range it is! Not only does the formulation of the products allow for a smoother injecting experience and more natural-looking result, but the effects last for up to 12 months.

The most recent additions to the Vycross range are Volbella, which launched in March this year, and Volift, which was actually launched at the Allergan masterclass that Dr Patel helped to conduct. Volbella is primarily a lip enhancing treatment, although it can also be used to treat fine lines and wrinkles. Volift is used for facial contouring and the treatment of deeper lines.

Volbella and Volift both contain the patented Vycross cross-linking technology, which allows for a lower concentration of hyaluronic acid to be used, resulting in less swelling, and a more natural look and feel.

Both treatments are available at Viva Clinic now, and Dr Patel could not be happier with them: “I personally find that this is now the premium range of fillers, it's the crème de la crème,” he professes. “It's proving very popular with both patients and myself alike. It's a runaway success.”
