HOW DO DERMAL FILLERS WORK?
As we age, we lose collagen and elastin from the skin, losing skin elasticity, our fat pads shrink, our bones remodel leading to loss of volume and contour. This leads to sagging of the facial features, appearance of wrinkle lines and folds, often leaving people looking “tired” and older.
Dermal fillers are sterile Hyaluronic Acid injectable gels, a naturally-occurring substance in the skin used to smooth away facial lines, wrinkles and restore volume loss providing a more youthful appearance.
These products can produce effective results with minimal downtime and discomfort, and can be combined with anti-wrinkle injections as a tailored treatment plan.
WHAT IS INVOLVED?
The treatment begins with a consultation and in-depth discussion of your personalized needs and concerns, to determine the best desired outcomes.
After a discussion about the type of fillers, injection sites, amount of filler and the realistic expectation of results, your skin will be cleaned using a antiseptic solution and then numbed with a topical anesthetic for increased comfort. The dermal fillers are administered through a tiny needle via injection into the dermis (the deeper layer of skin) providing enhanced volume, plumpness and definition. The treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes. Clients are to expect some bruising and swelling after the treatment.
TREATMENT AREAS
Dermal fillers are most commonly used to:
-
Naturally enhance, volumize and define younger lips
-
Subtly rejuvenate more mature lips that have lost volume over time, causing thinning and fine lines around the mouth
-
Hydrate the skin from within and restore skin without altering shape
-
Strengthen the skin to minimize facial lines and creases
-
Define and enhance – adding facial structure, volume and shape to the chin, cheeks and jawline
-
Restore volume to the temples and tear troughs
-
Correct deeper nasolabial folds, down turned lip corners and ‘marionette’ lines
-
Rejuvenate the face
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE THE RESULTS?
Results are almost instantaneous and will show right away. You will be able to resume your normal day-to-day activities soon after your treatment.
HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?
The longevity of dermal fillers ranges from 4-12 months depending on the thickness, skin type and area treated. Individual biological factors such as how fast your body metabolizes the product are also relevant to how long the filler lasts. Dermal fillers come in varying viscosities and thicknesses to ensure there is an appropriate product to suit all facial areas and personal preference.
HOW MUCH DO DERMAL FILLERS COST?
The costs for dermal fillers depends on the number and extent of areas that need treatment. Please contact the clinic to book your complimentary consultation that is relevant to your personal aesthetic outcomes.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
Swelling at the injection site is normal. This is generally more severe when lips have been injected. Bruising is also common, which can take several days to subside. Other possible side effects and complications will depend on the exact type of filler and technique being used. During the consultation, an assessment of any risk factors is conducted before the treatment proceeds as all medical treatments carry risks. This way you can make an informed decision about whether or not you wish to proceed with the discussed treatment plan.
DISCLAIMER:
These treatments are not permanent, ongoing treatment is advised to maintain your result. Repeat seasons should be scheduled every 4-12 months.
