Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are used to restore/ add volume and smoothness to the skin. They are typically made of Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and elasticity.

When injected into the skin, these fillers can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. Hyaluronic Acid fillers are also used to enhance lips and cheeks, and to correct facial asymmetry by enhancing facial contours.

Dermal filler injections are safe when performed by a trained and licensed professional, like our team here. We only use top-quality FDA-approved dermal fillers and follow strict protocols to ensure your safety during the injection process.

It's important to note that dermal fillers are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain medical conditions, or those with a history of allergic reactions.

As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects of dermal fillers. Some common side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These side effects are typically mild and temporary and resolve on their own within a few days after the procedure.

Generally, patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, some patients may experience swelling or bruising at the injection site. These symptoms usually subside within a few days. You can also apply ice packs to the injection site to reduce any swelling or bruising.

We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours after the treatment to minimise swelling and bruising.

The results of hyaluronic acid filler injections are visible immediately after the treatment. However, it is important to note that swelling and bruising may occur, which can temporarily affect the results. The full effect of the treatment may take up to 1-2 weeks to become fully apparent. During this time, the filler will settle into the skin and any swelling or bruising will subside. 

The effects of dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and the area it was injected. Factors such as age, skin type, lifestyle, and metabolism can also affect the longevity of the results. 

Dermal filler injection procedures typically take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. The treatment involves injecting small amounts of dermal filler into the skin using a fine needle. The filler is carefully placed in specific areas to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, or improve skin texture. Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort.

Our experienced and licensed professionals will provide you with detailed post-procedure instructions to ensure optimal results.
