WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?rnDermal fillers are a great way to restore volume to your face, soften lines and give yourself a fresh, natural look. They are used in specific areas to enhance your appearance as well as make the skin look and feel firmer. They are made from Hyaluronic Acid which naturally occurs in the body and can be broken down over time. DERMAL FILLERS ARE IDEAL FOR:rnGently softening lines and wrinklesrnSmoothing out smile linesrnDefining cheek bonesrnCreating beautiful full lipsrnSome fillers are specifically designed to hydrate dry skinrnTHE DERMAL FILLERS PROCEDURErnOnce you meet your practitioner they will start by discussing your desired results and how these can really be achieved with our wide range of dermal fillers. The treatment is performed by injecting the filler under your skin. We will make the treatment as comfortable as possible for you buy numbing the treatment areas first using a localised numbing cream. All the fillers we use contain local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. The whole process takes approximately just 30 minutes to an hour depending on the number of areas treated. Depending on the area treated, most folds and wrinkles require one treatment and results can be seen immediately. Typically, the results of dermal fillers can last 6 to 9 months but this varies from one person to another. The filler is gradually broken down and absorbed by the body, so the lines, wrinkles or lips will ultimately return to their previous appearance without continuing treatments. Following the injection of dermal fillers some swelling and redness may occur. This typically does not last longer than 48 hours and a practitioner will discuss the effects of the product you choose.
