Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, and are used to plump up the skin and add volume to areas that have lost elasticity or fullness due to ageing.

Dermal fillers can be used to treat a variety of areas, including lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, under-eye hollows, and jawline. They can also be used to enhance facial features, such as adding definition to the lips or chin.

Dermal fillers work by adding volume to the skin and filling in wrinkles or hollow areas. They are injected directly into the treatment area, where they plump up the skin and smooth out lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers can also stimulate collagen production, which helps improve skin texture and elasticity over time.

Dermal fillers offer numerous benefits, including:

• Restoring lost volume and fullness to the face
• Smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines
• Enhancing facial contours and definition
• Improving the appearance of scars or hollow areas
• Providing natural-looking results with minimal downtime

The longevity of dermal fillers depends on several factors, including the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual metabolism. In general, hyaluronic acid fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 1 years, while other types of fillers may last longerup to 2 years. Maintenance treatments may be required to maintain results over time.

Dermal fillers are considered safe when administered by a trained and experienced healthcare professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, including bruising, swelling, redness, and allergic reactions. It's essential to choose a reputable provider and discuss any concerns or medical conditions with your injector before treatment.

Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after dermal filler injections. However, some temporary side effects, such as swelling, bruising, or redness, may occur and typically subside within a few days. It's essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your injector to minimize any discomfort and ensure optimal results.

Yes, dermal fillers can be combined with other aesthetic treatments, such as wrinkle relaxing injections, laser therapy, or chemical peels, to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Good candidates for dermal fillers are generally in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. Dermal fillers are not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain medical conditions, or those with a history of allergic reactions to filler ingredients.

Results from dermal filler injections are typically visible immediately after treatment, though some swelling or bruising may temporarily obscure the final outcome. As any initial swelling subsides, you will notice the full effects of the treatment, which may continue to improve over the following weeks.
