What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal Fillers are sterile gels, which are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring form of sugar which is in our skin, and which helps keep the skin plump and youthful. As we age we lose hyaluronic acid, resulting in loss of skin elasticity, tone and the formation of lines or folds. We also lose fat in our faces as we age, and this can result in a tired appearance. Fillers are injected with small needles and help restore lift, definition and structural support to the face, which can make you look more rested or refreshed. It’s mainly used in facial areas; where dermis or sub dermis (or both) no longer supports the skin resulting in a wrinkle, a fold or tissue atrophy.

If you think you could benefit from dermal fillers, you should consult with your dermatologist to ensure that this treatment is right for you.

Though fillers are considered safe, there are a few reasons to postpone an injection. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or you’re battling a sinus infection, it’s best to hold off, as any infection in the facial area could spread to the injection site. And here’s one more you might not think about: Don’t get filler right before a teeth cleaning or other dental treatment. These procedures require pressure and stretching of the face that could potentially misplace fillers. Waiting at least a few days, or preferably a week, is ideal.
Most dermal fillers last anywhere from 6 to 9 months, depending upon the patient and where we’re targeting the injections.
Lidocaine, is an anaesthetic that works to decrease pain by temporarily numbing the area. So essentially it a mild anaesthetic. It’ll reduce swelling and ensure a very comfortable dermal filler treatment.
Side effects are minimal or absent. These products have been used safely for many years in a number of medical and cosmetic applications.
When side effects do occur, they are usually very mild, limited to the site of the injection and last less than 7 days. Possible dermal filler side effects include
- Pinpoint redness
- Mild tenderness
- Firmness, swelling, lumps or bumps
- Bruising
- Itching
- Discoloration
- To further minimize the possibility of side effects, you should avoid strenuous exercise, consumption of alcohol and excessive sun or heat exposure for 24 hours after your treatment.
First, you do not have to wait in order to enjoy the benefits of the treatment. As soon as the product is injected into the skin, you are going to see your appearance transform.
The second miraculous benefit of dermal fillers is that they continue to produce fantastic results after treatment. Most dermal fillers are based on hyaluronic acid or collagen. These are two substances that you have in your skin already and that cause your skin to look youthful and healthy. When these are added to your skin by means of a dermal filler, they cause your skin to look hydrated and plump.
Third benefit of dermal fillers is that you get long-lasting results. In most cases, you will be able to enjoy a more youthful look for at least half a year. This means that you do not have to return to our clinic often in order to maintain an attractive appearance.
Fourth benefit that you are going to receive from dermal fillers is that the results are usually subtle. This is what most people want. They do not want to look like one person before the treatment and like a completely different person after. They just want to be a better version of themselves. Most people will not even know exactly what you had done. They just know that you look better.
Main benefits that people receive is a boost in self-confidence after using dermal fillers. They love the way they feel. Our goal is to help you achieve your aesthetic goals and to love your appearance.
