Dermal Fillers

How Does Dermal Filler Work?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments to add volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles by smoothing out facial lines. Various types of dermal fillers are available and are typically administered in areas around the eyes, mouth, and nose.

How Long Does Dermal Filler Last?

While results can differ from person to person, dermal fillers generally remain effective for a period of 6 to 24 months. This timeframe depends on the specific product used, the area treated, and factors such as your metabolism and skincare routine. To achieve and sustain optimal results, we suggest undergoing maintenance treatments once or twice annually.

Common Dermal Filler Treatment Areas

Although lip enhancements are among the most popular filler treatments, they can also be used to sculpt and plump other facial areas. These may include:

Cheeks

Dermal fillers can be injected around your cheeks to enhance and sculpt bone structure. This treatment not only helps to define your facial contours but also smooths out wrinkles and revitalises sagging skin, addressing the loss of elasticity that accompanies ageing.

Chin & Jawline

Chin and jawline dermal filler augmentation can effectively diminish the appearance of a double chin, caused by ageing or genetics. This enhancement can also sculpt a well-defined bone structure, compensating for a short or receding chin while adding definition to the jawline.

Marionette Lines

Marionette lines are those creases that run from the corners of your mouth down your chin. Filler into this region adds volume, and not only smooths out lines but also lifts the corners of your mouth, giving you a more youthful, upward-turning smile.

What Are the Advantages of Dermal Filler?

The effects of dermal fillers are noticeable almost immediately. The procedure itself typically requires less than an hour and the recovery period is generally brief, especially compared to surgical options.

The longevity of the results varies with the type of filler used and ranges from several months to even years. Certain fillers can maintain their effectiveness for over two years. Additionally, dermal fillers are generally more cost-effective and far less invasive, compared to elective surgical options.

Treatment Advice

Before Your Treatment

Though dermal filler generally yields instant results, it is important to plan your treatment well in advance of any significant events, allowing ample time for any bruising or swelling to subside and settle.

After Your Treatment

After your dermal filler treatment, you may observe some redness or pinkness around the injection area. This reaction is normal and typically settles within a few hours. Bruising may also develop.
It is best to avoid alcohol, strenuous activities, and touching or massaging of the treated area for at least 24 hours. If swelling occurs, applying ice or a cold pack for a short period can be beneficial.
