Dermal Fillers
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are used to help rejuvenate skin, whilst contouring and reshaping the face.
Dermal fillers are the ideal way to re-introduce volume into the skin which may be have been lost through ageing.
Fillers can be used to help support areas such as:
- Lips
- Naso-labial Lines
- Cheeks
- Tear Troughs
As we age our skin loses its elasticity and volume, resulting in thin and dehydrated skin.
This can contribute to deep wrinkle formation.
Dermal fillers are used to bring back that volume and create a more youthful appearance.
Who can and can’t receive it
Dermal fillers can not be given to people if they are:
- Breastfeeding
- Pregnant
- Under 18 years old
Those with a history of anaphylaxis, multiple severe allergies or a history of allergy to gram-positive bacterial proteins should not have the injections.
Dermal fillers cannot be given to people with an autoimmune disease.
After Treatment/Follow-Up
The treatment site may feel a little tender for a few hours following treatment.
You may also experience some redness, swelling, and bruising.
It usually takes 2-3 days for the treated areas to settle.
Your rejuvenated appearance should be noticeable straight away and will last for around 9 – 12 months.
This can vary depending on the patient.
