Dermal fillers consist of a crystal-clear form of substance that occurs naturally in the body. The dermal filler holds water, hydrating and giving volume to the skin. It creates volume for the treatment of lips, lines, wrinkles and facial folds.
Its results are immediate and treatment takes approximately 30 minutes. As we get older the production of our natural collagen diminishes. A single injection of dermal filler replenishes the lost volume and improves your look by enhancing your profile.
Dermal Fillers are most commonly used to enhance, define and enlarge lips, and to fill nasolabial folds, the folds from the nose to the corner of the mouth. It lasts up to one year, depending on the area being treated, the depth of the lines, the condition of the skin and the lifestyle of the individual. Most people return at 6-9 months for a top up.
Advanced dermal filler treatments to rejuvenate and revolumise the ageing face, such as enhancing sunken cheeks for fuller facial contours, filling out the pre-jowl areas to improve irregular jaw lines caused by gravity, smoothing out hollows under the eyes or tear troughs for fresher looking eyes, and making the nose more attractive by straightening out noses that are deviated or have a bump.
Treatment with dermal fillers involves injection into the skin, you therefore may experience some discomfort, however local anaesthetic can be used to minimise pain. The side effects of treatment may include swelling, redness and occasional bruising. Other side effects may include minor lumps, itching or tenderness, which usually pass quickly.
All our dermal fillers come with a local anaesthetic pre-loaded in the syringe which makes the treatment significantly more comfortable. We also prepare all treatment areas with numbing cream and can perform nerve blocks if further pain relief is required.
