Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. Dermal filler (Hyaluronic acid) injectables include branded products such as teoxanne, Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero and others improve the appearance of lines, correct volume loss or alter proportions. They include in their makeup mainly water, hyaluronic acid, lidocaine anaesthetic, and stabilising molecules such as BDDE (1,4-Butanediol Diglycidyl Ether).
Dermal fillers work by restoring lost volume, enhancing facial contours, and smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. The fillers are composed of various biocompatible materials, such as hyaluronic acid which is naturally found in the body. When injected into the skin, dermal fillers add volume to the targeted areas, effectively filling in wrinkles, lines, and hollowed areas. The specific mechanism of action varies depending on the type of filler used, but generally, the injected material binds to water molecules in the skin, adding hydration and plumping up the treated areas. Hyaluronic acid fillers, for example, attract and hold onto water, providing immediate plumping effects. They also stimulate the body's own production of collagen, which helps maintain the skin's structure and firmness over time. In essence, dermal fillers provide immediate volumizing and smoothing effects, and in some cases, also promote the natural production of collagen, leading to longer-term improvements in skin quality and texture.
The procedure typically starts with a thorough consultation, understanding patient goals, and creating a tailored treatment plan. The targeted area is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied. The dermal filler is then strategically injected using fine needles or cannulas. Discomfort is generally minimal and the procedure usually takes 30 minutes to an hour.
Suitability for dermal fillers depends on individual skin type, age-related changes, facial structure, and specific concerns, such as deep wrinkles or volume loss. Candidates should be in good health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have realistic expectations. Our medical practitioner will assess whether this treatment aligns with one's aesthetic goals.
After treatment, patients can expect to see results immediately. Mild swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection sites are common but typically subside within a few days. Instructions may include avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcohol consumption for a brief period to ensure optimal healing.
The longevity of results varies based on the type of filler used, the area treated, and the patient's metabolism. Touch-up treatments and regular follow-up sessions are necessary to maintain the desired effect, as the body naturally breaks down the filler over time.
While non surgical, dermal filler injections can have side effects and complications. Common reactions include temporary redness, swelling, and bruising. Rarer risks involve infection, allergic reactions, lumpiness, migration of the filler, and in very rare cases, arterial occlusion leading to tissue death or blindness. Selecting an experienced professional and having an open discussion about the risks are essential.
The cost of dermal fillers is variable, often calculated per syringe or treated area, and depends on factors such as geographic location, provider expertise, and the type of product used. A detailed consultation with a medical practitioner gives an accurate estimate and an opportunity to ask questions, set expectations, and understand the customised treatment plan. We've streamlined our treatment pricing for your convenience, as detailed in the following price list.
Dermal fillers provide a versatile cosmetic solution for various signs of aging and facial aesthetic improvements with relatively quick procedures and instant results. While there are inherent risks, choosing a medical practitioner and having a thorough consultation can lead to a safe and satisfying outcome.
1. Allergies: Known hypersensitivity to any components of the filler, such as lidocaine mixed in some products.
2. Skin Infections: Active skin infections, inflammation, or problematic skin conditions near the injection site (e.g., acne, cold sores, rashes).
3. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Lack of safety data for use during pregnancy or while nursing.
4. Blood Disorders: Conditions that affect clotting may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.
5. Immune System Disorders: Conditions that affect the immune system could potentially lead to complications.
6. Previous Filler Reactions: A history of severe reactions to any dermal filler or similar substances.
7. Medications: Use of certain medications that can increase bleeding risk, such as anticoagulants or blood thinners.
8. Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD): Psychological conditions can lead to unrealistic expectations and dissatisfaction with cosmetic procedures.
9. Recent Facial Surgery: Those who have had recent surgery may need to wait until full healing is completed.
10. Neurological Disorders: Some conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or myasthenia gravis that might interact with the product.
Each individual's situation will be evaluated by a medical practitioner, and a thorough medical history will be taken to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
Pre-Treatment Advice
1. Consultation: Schedule a consultation to discuss your goals, the areas to be treated, and to determine the appropriate type of filler. Inform your practitioner about any medical conditions, allergies, and medications.
2. Medications: Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for at least a week prior to treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
3. Skin Health: Ensure that there are no skin infections or irritations in the areas to be treated. Do not undergo any other skin treatments, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy, in the weeks leading up to your appointment.
4. Diet and Hydration: Stay hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment, good hydration may help with bruising and swelling. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment to minimise the risk of bruising.
5. Arrival at Clinic: Come to the clinic with a clean face; avoid wearing makeup. Be mentally prepared and relaxed on the day of treatment.
Post-Treatment Advice
1. Swelling and Bruising: Apply a cold compress to the treated areas for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling. Expect some swelling and possible bruising, which usually subsides within a few days to a week.
2. Activity: Avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and extreme heat for at least 24-48 hours after treatment. Sleeping with an elevated head can help reduce swelling overnight.
3. Touching and Massage: Do not massage or apply pressure to the treated areas unless instructed by our medical practitioner. This could potentially disrupt the placement of the filler. Avoid touching the treated area to reduce the risk of infection.
4. Makeup and Skincare: Wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to the treated areas to minimise the risk of infection. Continue to use gentle skincare products and follow any specific aftercare instructions from our practitioner.
5. Follow-Up: Schedule a follow-up appointment if recommended by our practitioner to assess results and make any necessary adjustments. Report any unusual side effects to our clinic immediately. Signs of infection, persistent pain, or irregularities should be addressed by our medical practitioner.
6. Maintenance: Understand that fillers are temporary and follow-up treatments will be necessary to maintain results. Protect your skin from the sun using a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, which can also extend the longevity of your fillers.
