Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume and fullness to areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging or other factors. They are typically made of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin.
The benefits of dermal fillers include:
Restoring volume to areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging or other factors Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Enhancing facial contours and creating a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance
Dermal fillers are typically administered by a trained medical professional using a fine needle or cannula. The injection site may be numbed beforehand to minimise any discomfort.
Many areas can be treated, but the most commonly treated areas include the cheeks, chin, temples, nose, tear trough and lips. The amount and location of the filler will depend on the individual patient's needs and desired outcome.
The down time after dermal filler injections can vary depending on the individual and the area treated. Most treatment areas will not give any down time at all, but occasionally, patients can experience some mild swelling and redness for a few days after the procedure. Bruising may also occur, but can typically be covered with makeup after 24 hours.
The number of treatments needed will depend on the individual patient, the area being treated, and the filler that is used. However, most of the dermal filler treatments that I do last 6-12 months or even longer. It will be down to you to decide on further treatments when you feel that you need them.
Aftercare for dermal fillers typically involves avoiding certain activities, such as excessive sun exposure and strenuous exercise, for at least 24 hours after the procedure. No alcohol for 24 hours. No long distance travel for 3 days. Patients should also avoid touching, rubbing or massaging the treated area and follow any other specific aftercare instructions provided by their medical professional.
