What can Dermal Filler do?
Dermal fillers offer a variety of options that create natural to dramatic volume, with results lasting from six to twenty-four months. The treatment is completely safe and requires minimal downtime.
As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle. Dermal fillers are perfect for plumping out areas of the face such as in lips and cheeks that have lost their fullness and hydration, and for certain areas of the body such as the hands, where skin may be losing firmness and volume. The process involves an injection of hyaluronic acid-based gel, a natural skin component that provides the area being treated with volume and hydration. The result is instantly fuller, revitalized and plumper skin. It is the ultimate anti-ageing solution and the safest, most effective on the market today.
Dermal Fillers can:
- Plump thin lips
- Improve under eyes
- Correct volume loss
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of recessed scars
- Reconstruct contour deformities in the face
What can’t Dermal Filler do?
For some patients, surgery such as a facelift, brow lift or eye lift may be the best approach. Nonsurgical rejuvenation treatments, such as soft tissue fillers, cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time when consideration of a facelift becomes appropriate. It is important to remember that dermal fillers are temporary treatments for facial aging and that ongoing treatments will be needed for long-term results.
What can I expect during my filler treatment?
A very fine needle is used to inject small amounts of the product into the skin. After the injection, the gel binds with the water in your skin and adjoining tissue giving natural volume to smooth wrinkles. Treatment should lead to full correction, but not over correction, at each session. The treated area is gently massaged to conform to the contour of the surrounding tissue. One treatment session takes about thirty minutes and the results are immediate. It is normal to experience slight redness, swelling, and possible bruising near the injection site, and there may also be some other minor side effects, such as slight pain or tenderness and some itching near the injection site. The skin returns to normal a couple days after your procedure, bruising can take a couple weeks to resolve.
Results are immediate, but are at their optimal after two weeks.
