Nicci has never seen two patients that are the same. You are all individuals, and need treatments that have you and your specific goals at the centre of them. That is why Nicci’s ethos, and the concept of 3-dimensional filler, has revolutionised her approach to facial rejuvenation. At Nichola Maasdorp No4 Clinic, we understand that addressing the face as a whole, layer by layer, is the key to achieving natural and harmonious results. In this article, we will delve into her fascinating world of 3-dimensional filler, exploring how it restores lost support, adds plumpness, and rejuvenates the skin's texture and tone, resulting in a three-dimensional transformation that goes beyond traditional filler treatments.
The concept behind 3-dimensional filler treatment is to evaluate the face holistically and comprehensively address each layer of the skin. Rather than focusing solely on specific facial features or concerns, we take a more integrated approach to enhance overall facial harmony and youthfulness. Let's explore the three layers and their corresponding treatments that make up the 3-dimensional filler technique:
Deep down in the skin, lost support and volume can result in sagging and a lack of facial structure. Supportive fillers, specifically designed for deep layer restoration, are strategically injected to replenish the lost volume. These fillers provide a foundation, lifting and supporting the skin, resulting in a more sculpted and defined facial contour.
The mid layer of the skin, when hydrated and plump, is responsible for light reflective areas that contribute to a youthful appearance. To restore plumpness and enhance these regions, specialised fillers are used. By carefully injecting fillers in areas like the rosy cheeks, we can recreate the natural light play and contours of a youthful face, rejuvenating your overall look.
The uppermost layers of the skin are where fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture become more apparent. To address these concerns, finer fillers are utilised. These fillers work to boost the skin's vitality, restoring tone, texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines. By focusing on this superficial layer, we achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion.
The 3-dimensional filler approach offers several advantages over traditional filler treatments. By treating the face as a whole, we create a harmonious and balanced outcome. This technique ensures that all areas of the face receive appropriate attention, resulting in a natural and rejuvenated appearance. Rather than simply targeting specific features, we consider the interplay between different facial areas, creating a seamless transformation that looks and feels authentic.
Additionally, the 3-dimensional filler technique allows us to develop customised treatment plans. We carefully assess each patient's unique facial structure, concerns, and desired outcomes, tailoring the approach to their individual needs. This personalised touch ensures that you achieve results that enhance your natural beauty and align with your aesthetic goals.

By addressing each layer of the skin, from deep support restoration to mid-level plumpness and uppermost skin enhancement, we create a three-dimensional transformation that goes beyond traditional filler treatments.

It still boggles my mind that fine line and wrinkle treatment, using botulinum toxin, can be so effective! More so, it amazes me that over the decades that I have been offering this treatment, more uses keep emerging. From helping depression to boosting skin health, the treatment options available to my patients keeps on growing!
However, the downside can be having to return multiple times a year, which isn’t great if you don’t like needles! So here are some top tips to help you extend the time between your visits…
Making sure your doctor/dentist/nurse practitioner is experienced will go a long way to ensuring you get the right areas treated appropriately. Some patients are regularly recalled by their injector to get ‘top ups’ but, in my opinion, this shouldn’t be necessary, unless it’s the first time you have been treated by the person.
Of course, your body isn’t always predictable, so occasionally you may require adjustments to your fine line and wrinkle treatment after a few weeks. Having regular ‘top ups’ will make Botox® less effective for you, so it’s important to avoid them if you can.
Consider not using face scrubs, masks or toners one week before your treatment. These can alter the chemistry of your skin by causing inflammation, which may result in your fine line and wrinkle treatment being less effective.
Ask your injector about other brands that might work for you. After many decades, new botulinum brands have now been developed, each with their own characteristics and benefits. This means that, if your regular treatment with the Botox® brand isn’t working as well as you’d like, your injector now has other brands they can try to see if they give you better fine line and wrinkle treatment results that last longer.
Any experienced doctor/dentist /nurse will be able to discuss the alternative brands that are available and give their advice on whether they may be helpful to you.
In a study by Koshy JC et al. (Journal of Drugs and Dermatol 2012 Apr;11(4):507-12), researchers found that zinc and/or phytase supplementation boosted the effects of botulinum treatments by 30% on average.
‘Surprisingly, the results showed that in over ninety percent of the patients studied, the zinc/phytase combination resulted in a remarkable improved responsiveness to treatment of blepharospasm using the same amount of botulinum toxin as previously used’, said Soparkar, M.D., Ph.D., an oculoplastic surgeon. ‘The toxins seemed to have a greater effect and last longer. Potentially, this could mean using less toxin, offering patients financial savings, greater safety, and more consistent results.’
Remember that this requires some planning, as studies have shown that you have to start zinc supplements 4 days prior to treatment for them to have any effect!

There’s no doubt that injectables like fillers and Botox® are the most effective line-reducing treatments available. Others might help to some extent but they will never achieve what injectables can. Furthermore, these treatments, in the right hands, are very safe and almost painless. The proof is in the sheer number of people who have been treated worldwide! Allergan reports that, as a brand leader in the field of dermal fillers, they recently achieved a major milestone for their key brand Juvéderm with ‘100 million syringes of their product delivered globally’. Isn’t that incredible?
Some of you might be reluctant to try injectables for various reasons. You might feel scared about ‘losing’ your expressions or you’re worried that you won’t look natural and that others will know you’ve visited a clinic… or are you just scared in general?
Rest assured, safety is my top priority when treating my patients. I like to see myself and my team as ‘gatekeepers’.
Gatekeepers, like us, keep you safe and won't recommend a treatment that's not in your best interest, so there’s no danger of you looking ‘overdone’. If a treatment isn’t right for you, we’ll say so! It’s not just about the look though, we also make sure that you’re in the right headspace. The only reason to undergo any of our procedures is because you want to. Don’t ever forget that! Accountable to our registered bodies (the GDC and HIS), we have to act within clear clinical and safety guidelines or risk getting struck off.
In order to be a gatekeeper, you must be properly trained. I have a Level 7 postgraduate OFQUAL qualification in injectables and I’ve been a dentist for years! What’s more, at No. 4, we have fantastic knowledge and experience - Su and I have over 60 years of clinical experience combined (we know, we don’t look old enough)!
The most important thing when choosing your clinic is to make sure the practitioners are fully qualified. The experience never hurts too though!
You should always expect the best!
Good gatekeepers will always give you all your options and give you time to make your decision as to whether to have treatment or not. We’re not saleswomen, we’re beauty practitioners! We will always conduct a thorough consultation and get to know you first. If injectables don’t suit your medical profile, lifestyle or expectations, we will let you know. After all, we don’t just deal with treatments, we deal with people.
It’s also important that you know you will receive good aftercare. You shouldn’t have your treatment and get kicked straight out of the door! You need to know how to best maintain your results. We’re always on hand to offer advice on which products will suit your skin and my team always want to ensure that you’re happy with your results. In short, you won’t get away from us that quickly…
If you want to get rid of lines and wrinkles, injectables are the best way to do so, but only when you're being treated by experienced, caring professionals.
The first thing to do is book in for your consultation, you can do this easily online. If you’re not quite ready for that, it may be helpful to get to know our clinic better, you can learn more about us on our website or by following us on Facebook and Instagram.
The question of whether or not fillers for wrinkles are safe has been one that people have asked since dermal fillers first became a well-known feature in the world of aesthetics. I have no doubt that it ranks very highly on Google searches too!
When it comes to answering this question in the simplest terms, the answer is a resounding yes! There’s a lot of evidence to show that dermal fillers for wrinkles (and several other purposes) are a safe and effective treatment option. However, there’s much more to this question than you might think at first glance. Even the safest treatment can become problematic in the wrong hands.
It is my belief that the wrong practitioner performing any kind of injectable treatment, such as dermal fillers for wrinkles, cannot be trusted. When it comes to choosing a clinic and practitioner you can trust, you may have to do some snooping. Based on a clinic’s Instagram or website, you should be able to quickly ascertain what qualifications they hold. Sadly, when it comes to some places, even Sherlock Holmes would be at a loss. However, if you can find what you’re looking for, you should soon be able to look a practitioner up on a professional database. Anyone with qualifications, whether they’re a doctor, nurse or dentist, should be on a professional register, as this holds them accountable for the treatment they provide.
The next step is to dig a little deeper. In order for someone to be able to provide fillers for wrinkles safely, they should have a Level 7 qualification, or an equivalent Master’s degree. This level of practical training ensures that an individual has the knowledge they need in order to perform dermal fillers for wrinkles safely. These qualifications take years to obtain, but they provide practitioners with invaluable knowledge.
The last thing to check is the premises in which you’ll be treated. Anyone who claims to be a practitioner, but continues to operate from a location that is primarily meant for another purpose is unlikely to be legitimate. In my professional opinion, these places will not meet your treatment needs. Aesthetic procedures, whether we’re discussing fillers for wrinkles or chemical face peels, need to be performed in safe and clean conditions. Many locations simply don’t meet the standards necessary, which other practices pride themselves on.
If you’re based in Scotland, you can check the Healthcare Improvement Scotland website (HIS) prior to booking an appointment. HIS’ standards are incredibly high and all registered clinics have to undergo a thorough, independent inspection process before they can become part of their register. If you’re wondering whether or not my own clinic is registered, I’m pleased to say that it is! Click here to read the details of our inspection. See, I’ve made it a little bit easier for you to become an aesthetic detective too! After all, it’s only fair that I practice what I preach!
My staff and I value nothing more than safe, reliable treatments that are guaranteed to give our patients the results they deserve. When you’re considering dermal fillers for wrinkles, fine lines or simply to enhance your natural features, I invite you to visit me and my wonderful team.
When you choose my clinic, you can be sure that my staff and I have the qualifications, skills and knowledge necessary to ensure you feel happier and more confident in your skin. My true passion is helping my patients and you could be one of them!
