EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
HOW DOES dermal filler work
Dermal fillers are a type of cosmetic injectable treatment designed to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. They consist of gel-like substances, typically made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring component in the skin.
During a dermal filler procedure, the filler material is injected into specific areas of the face to address various concerns. This can include smoothing out wrinkles, adding volume to areas that have lost fullness over time, such as the cheeks or lips, and improving the overall symmetry and balance of facial features.
Dermal fillers are highly versatile and can be tailored to each individual's unique needs and aesthetic goals. The treatment is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime, allowing for a quick and convenient rejuvenation option.
The results of dermal filler treatments are visible immediately after the procedure, although slight swelling or bruising may occur temporarily. The effects typically last several months to a year, depending on the specific product used and individual factors, such as metabolism and lifestyle.
WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR
Dermal fillers are suitable for a wide range of individuals looking to address various cosmetic concerns and enhance their facial appearance. They can benefit both men and women of different ages, skin types, and ethnic backgrounds. Dermal fillers may be a suitable option for you if:
- You want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines: Dermal fillers can effectively smooth out wrinkles and lines, such as nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (lines around the mouth).
- You desire to restore lost volume and fullness: As we age, our face naturally loses volume, resulting in a sunken or hollowed appearance. Dermal fillers can replenish volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area, restoring a more youthful contour.
- You seek to enhance facial features: Dermal fillers can be used to augment and enhance specific facial features, such as lips, chin, and jawline, providing a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.
- You want non-surgical facial rejuvenation: Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelift procedures. They provide noticeable results with minimal downtime, making them an attractive option for those seeking facial rejuvenation without invasive surgery.
- You desire natural-looking results: Dermal fillers can be customized to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your unique features. Our cosmetic practitioners can precisely administer fillers to ensure a subtle and harmonious outcome.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?
The number of treatments needed with dermal fillers can vary depending on several factors, including the area being treated, the desired outcome, the specific filler used, and individual factors such as age, skin condition, and metabolism.
In many cases, individuals achieve satisfactory results with just one treatment session. However, multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal outcomes, especially for more extensive corrections or if you have specific aesthetic goals.
During your consultation with our cosmetic nurses, they will evaluate your concerns and discuss your desired outcomes. Based on this assessment, they will provide a tailored treatment plan that includes the recommended number of sessions. They will also take into account the longevity of the chosen dermal filler, as some last longer than others.
It's important to note that the effects of dermal fillers are not permanent, and over time, the filler will gradually be metabolized by the body. To maintain the desired results, periodic touch-up sessions may be necessary.
HOW FAR APART CAN I HAVE TREATMENTS?
The recommended time frame between dermal filler treatments can vary depending on factors such as the specific filler used, the area being treated, and your individual response to the treatment. However, it is generally advised to wait at least 2 to 4 weeks before scheduling another dermal filler session.
PRE + POST CARE
Pre and post-care instructions for dermal fillers can help optimize your treatment experience and promote proper healing. While specific recommendations may vary depending on the individual and the area being treated.
Pre-Care:
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements: Some medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil, can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine: Minimize alcohol and caffeine consumption in the days leading up to your treatment to help reduce the risk of bruising.
Post-Care:
Your practitioner will provide specific post-care instructions tailored to your treatment. This may include avoiding touching the treated area, applying ice packs to reduce swelling, and avoiding strenuous activities for a short period.
Manage swelling and bruising: Mild swelling and bruising are common after dermal filler injections. Apply cold compresses and avoid blood-thinning substances, such as alcohol and certain medications, to minimize these effects. Arnica gel or cream may also be recommended to reduce bruising.
DOWNTIME
Mild swelling and bruising can occur but generally subsides within 24-48hrs.
