What are Dermal Filler Treatments?
Dermal filler treatments are non-surgical procedures designed to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These treatments involve injecting a gel-like substance beneath the skin to rejuvenate and refresh your appearance. They are a popular choice for those seeking a youthful look without the need for invasive surgery, offering immediate results with minimal downtime.
What are other names for Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are also commonly referred to as soft tissue fillers or injectable fillers. These terms are used interchangeably in the medical and cosmetic industry to describe the same treatments that aim to reduce signs of ageing and enhance facial features. Regardless of the name, the goal remains to provide natural-looking improvements and boost your confidence.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers work by injecting a substance, usually hyaluronic acid, into targeted areas of the skin to add volume and smooth out lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that attracts and retains moisture, providing hydration and plumpness to the skin. When expertly applied, these fillers integrate seamlessly with your tissue, offering immediate and natural-looking results that can last several months to a year, depending on the product and area treated.
EXPECTED RESULTS / BENEFITS
Dermal filler injections offer immediate, noticeable improvements by restoring volume, smoothing wrinkles, and enhancing facial contours. You can expect a more youthful and refreshed appearance, with natural-looking results that boost your confidence. Additionally, dermal fillers can help improve skin texture and hydration, making your complexion look healthier and more vibrant. The results are not only aesthetically pleasing but also long-lasting, typically enduring from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated.
PREPARATION & AFTERCARE
Proper preparation and aftercare are crucial for achieving the best results from your dermal filler injections. Before your treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E for at least a week to minimise the risk of bruising. On the day of your appointment, arrive with a clean face, free from makeup and skincare products. After the procedure, it's important to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcohol for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling and bruising. Gently applying ice packs can help manage any immediate swelling, and we recommend staying hydrated and following any additional aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.
FAQs About Dermal Fillers
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They typically contain hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, which helps hydrate and plump the skin, offering a more youthful appearance.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The duration of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, but results generally last from six months to two years. Maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects, keeping your skin looking fresh and rejuvenated.
What Can I Expect During the Procedure?
During the procedure, a fine needle is used to inject the filler into the targeted areas. The treatment typically takes about 30 minutes, and you might experience minimal discomfort, which we manage with a topical anaesthetic. The results are immediate, and you can return to your normal activities shortly after.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Common side effects are usually mild and include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within a few days. Our team will provide you with aftercare instructions to minimise any discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery.
Can Dermal Fillers Be Used with Other Treatments?
Yes, dermal fillers can be combined with other aesthetic treatments like Botox, chemical peels, or laser therapy for enhanced results. We will create a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
How Do I Choose the Right Dermal Filler?
Choosing the right dermal filler depends on your individual concerns and desired outcomes. During your consultation, we will assess your skin and discuss your goals to recommend the most suitable filler for you, ensuring natural and satisfying results.
Will My Face Look Unnatural or Overdone?
When performed by an experienced professional, dermal fillers should enhance your natural beauty without making you look overdone. Our approach is to use fillers subtly and strategically, so you look refreshed and youthful, not artificial.
Is There Any Downtime After the Treatment?
There is minimal downtime after dermal filler treatments. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately, although we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours to minimise swelling and bruising.
How Do I Prepare for My Dermal Filler Appointment?
To prepare for your appointment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E a week before your treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. We will provide you with comprehensive pre-treatment instructions to ensure the best results and a smooth procedure.
