Dermal Fillers

COULD YOUR SKIN USE A LITTLE SMOOTHING?

As we age, the natural loss of facial volume becomes more prominent. This process is typically noticeable first around the eyes, followed by the middle of the upper cheek beneath the eye, and the cheekbones.

Subsequently, we experience a reduction of fat from the areas on the sides of the mouth and nasolabial lines, followed by the forehead. The sides of the face are typically the last to be affected.

Fortunately, Sculptra and Radiesse injections are known to stimulate collagen production, resulting in remarkable outcomes.

Common Questions.

Does It Hurt?

Dermal filler treatments are generally not painful, although the amount of discomfort you experience may vary depending on the area. Treatments around the lip are typically the most uncomfortable but this can still be well tolerated through topical anesthetic cream.

To provide further relief and alleviate as much pain as possible, dermal fillers contain a pre-mixed local anaesthetic.

What Is The Recovery Time?

Although it is rare to experience allergic reactions to dermal fillers, mild side effects such as temporary swelling, bruising, and redness in the treated area are common and should subside within a week.

How Long Will My Results Last?

While dermal fillers are not permanent, they can last for up to one year depending on the type of filler used and the area of treatment. Over time, the filler is naturally metabolized by the body, causing the effects to gradually fade.
