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 lip 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 filler treatment areas:

Different areas that Dr Dipen Patel treats with dermal filler include:

The most popular dermal filler treatment. Lip fillers can help increase the volume for a fuller lip, and can enhance the contour of the lip, leading to better with definition. It can also improve lip asymmetry.

Essential to help create a natural lift and add volume to an area which lessens with age. Often when administering cheek filler, not only does the cheek area appear fuller, you can also get a lift to the lower face which can improve the nasolabial folds.

These are the lines from the nose to the corner of the mouth, which can be effectively improved with dermal filler.

The area under the eye, between the cheek and the lower eyelid. A delicate area in which dermal filler can really improve volume loss and the appearance of dark circles under the eye.

These are the lines that run from the corner of the mouth down to the chin.

Treatment in this area can really help define the lower face and is great for profile harmonisation.

A fantastic non surgical way to fill hollow temples.

Generally most patients will have a combination of different areas to help create a great youthful look.

Dr Dipen Patel uses two of the most well known brand of dermal fillers, Restlyane and Juvederm. The choice of product depends on the area being treated and patient preference.

Essential facts to know before getting lip fillers

• Lip fillers are a type of dermal filler procedure that uses injections to add volume to the lips. Dermal fillers are used to treat a variety of facial concerns, including wrinkles, folds, and scars.
  
  
• Lip fillers are safe and effective when performed by a qualified healthcare professional. However, there are some risks associated with the procedure, including:
  • Pain, swelling, and bruising at the injection site
  • Infection
  • Allergic reaction
  • Uneven or lumpy results
    
    
• Lip fillers are not a permanent solution. The effects of this procedure typically last 6 months.
  
  
• Dermal and lip 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 lip 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 lip fillers:

• Your age. Lip 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 lip fillers.
  
  
• Your expectations. It is important to have realistic expectations about what lip fillers can do. Lip fillers cannot eliminate wrinkles completely, and it can take several treatments to see the desired results.

If you are considering getting lip 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.

Those who get lip fillers will notice that the results last a shorter period of time (but at least 6 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.
