DERMAL FILLERS What are dermal fillers and how do they work?  The Dermal Fillers that I use are 100% hyaluronic acid based”, wrinkle-filling products.  These products are highly biocompatible and are slowly absorbed. Naturally present in the skin, hyaluronic acid preserves moisturising levels in the skin and boosts tone.  Hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisturising agent, the quantity of which in the dermis gradually decreases with age. As a result, the skin dries out and becomes fragile, and the first wrinkles appear. The tissues progressively sag and the face becomes hollow. Will it Hurt?  Dermal fillers are relatively painless because the gel is injected directly into the skin in very tiny amounts at a time using an ultra fine needle, although sensitivity can vary dependent on which areas of the face are being treated. Some patients may notice a slight throbbing or even stinging following injection, but this discomfort fades away shortly after. The procedure is very simple and convenient, with practically instant results! You should be able to resume normal activities directly after treatment. How long will it take to work?  After receiving your treatment, you will notice the effects immediately. You may also notice some temporary mild swelling but this will usually disappear in approximately 24 hours How long does it last?  The Dermal Fillers treatment can and should last between six and eighteen months (depending on volume and areas being treated) with no need to protect the treatment or use any cosmetics to increase it’s length, potency or effect.  Where can be treated?  Dermal fillers can be injected into the entire face (including the lips), neckline, neck and hands.
