Dermal fillers explained

 

Dermal filler treatment is a cosmetic procedure that plumps up facial lines and wrinkles to make the skin look more youthful. Fillers usually consist of sterile hyaluronic acid gels made from non-animal sources.

As we age, the skin's natural hyaluronic acid is lost, giving rise to the appearance of lines, wrinkles and folds. Fillers are also used for lip enhancement and for shaping facial, hand and neck contours.

The dermal filler treatment process:

1. Local anaesthetic is first administered to the area to prevent any discomfort.
2. The dermal filler is then injected, which only takes a few minutes.
3. The effect of the treatment is visible immediately.
4. Depending on the area treated, skin type and the injection technique, the filler effect can last between 6 and 12 months (usually six months for lips)
5. Follow-up treatments will help to maintain the plumped up look over time.

As this is not a permanent treatment, the effects will wear off over time. It is therefore possible for the procedure to be repeated every 3 months for effective results.

• Reduced facial lines for more youthful appearance.
• Non-surgical and painless procedure.

• Dermal fillers are not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. While they can help to improve the appearance of your skin, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep.

If you are considering getting dermal fillers, it is important to talk to your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional to discuss the risks and benefits of the treatment.

Here are some additional things to consider before getting dermal fillers:

• Your age. Dermal fillers are generally not recommended for people under the age of 18.
  
  
• Your medical history. If you have any medical conditions, such as allergies or autoimmune diseases, you should talk to your doctor before getting dermal fillers.
  
  
• Your expectations. It is important to have realistic expectations about what dermal fillers can do. Dermal fillers cannot eliminate wrinkles completely, and it can take several treatments to see the desired results.

If you are considering getting dermal fillers, it is important to do your research and talk to a qualified healthcare professional to make sure that it is the right treatment for you.

Nowadays a lot of dermal fillers contain local anaesthetic which can decrease discomfort during treatment. We can also apply a numbing cream before the procedure which will further minimise the pain.

We advise you to avoid exposing the treated areas to extreme heat (e.g. sunbathing, steam rooms etc), avoid rubbing or massaging the area which has been treated, avoid facial skin treatments (e.g. microdermabrasion, derma roller, facials etc) and avoid alcohol consumption for 24 hours.

Some areas can last up to 18 months, but most patients prefer to have maintenance treatments before this time frame. The area treated can have an effect on how long the dermal filler will last, for example those who get lip fillers will notice last a shorter period of time (6-12 months) due to the increased dynamic movements of this area.

Dermal can be administered by either (or a combination of) fine needles or a cannula (blunt ended tube). Cannulas decrease the chances of bruising, and needles offer more precision.

Side effects include swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising.
