Our skin begins to lose elasticity and volume as we age. This is due to a decrease in collagen and elastin production in the body. This can lead to loss of facial volume, leading to signs of aging.

If so, then dermal filler may be an option for you. It is an effective treatment for restoring volume, and augmenting features of the face. 

With dermal fillers, you can achieve this without going through surgery. 

  • The results of dermal fillers are usually immediate. However, it may take a few days for the full effect to be visible as the filler settles into place.

  • Dermal fillers can last from six months to two years, depending on the filler used and treated area.

  • Dermal fillers offer a variety of advantages:

    1. Dermal fillers can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and facial lines. Wrinkles and lines are caused by several factors, including age, sun exposure, and smoking. Dermal fillers work by restoring the volume and elasticity of your skin.

    2. They can also plump up areas of your skin that have become thin or sunken over time- some areas of our skin, such as our cheeks. Dermal fillers can help plump up these areas, giving you a more youthful appearance.

    3. They are generally safe and cause very few side effects. However, your Doctor will go through all the pros and cons of the treatment before going ahead.

    4. Treatment with dermal fillers is quick, and you will see results immediately.

    5. The results of treatment with dermal fillers are long-lasting, but they can be reversed if you change your mind. The results of treatment with dermal fillers usually last for six months to two years.

  • There are general steps that should be followed before, during, and after getting dermal fillers.

    Before the injection:

    • A complete medical history should be taken to determine if you are a good candidate for filler injections.

    • If you are taking blood thinners or have any bleeding problems, please inform your doctor before the treatment.

    • Be sure to tell your doctor of any allergies, particularly to lidocaine or other local anesthetics.

    • Avoid alcohol or ibuprofen for 24hrs before your treatment

    • Attend your appointment without any makeup to avoid risk of infection

    During the procedure:

    • The doctor will cleanse and numb the area to be treated with a local anesthetic.

    • A fine needle is used to inject the filler into the skin.

    • A cold compress may be applied to reduce swelling and bruising.

    After the procedure:

    • For the remainder of the day, avoid strenuous activity.

    • Apply pressure to any bruises with a cold compress.

    • Avoid any makeup for 24hrs after treatment

    • Contact your doctor if you experience any redness, swelling, or pain at the injection site.

    Be sure to follow this guide to have a smooth and successful experience with dermal fillers.

  • Here are some things to look for when choosing a clinic:

    • The staff should be qualified and experienced- make sure that all the staff members have medical training and are licensed to administer dermal fillers.

    • The clinic should be clean and sterile- this is important for your safety and the safety of the staff.
