DERMAL FILLERS
INTRODUCTION
Injectable non-permanent dermal fillers provide restoration; restoring volume, definition, contours and youthfulness.
Facial changes are a normal part of the ageing process for both men and women, where you can notice areas of volume loss particularly templeS, eye socket, mid-face cheek, flattening of the lips unfortunately in other areas we notice heaviness and gained volume such as nose-to mouth lines, corner of the mouth to chin lines and jowls. The bony support for the jawline slowly recedes and we lose support for our tissue hence overtime see lack of definition which can be very ageing.
Fortunately, dermal fillers help restore volume, give areas more definition, support and lift tissue where it is needed. We offer a range of concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid from dermal hydration to the ultimate lift depending on the aim of the treatment always keeping results as natural as possible.
Dermal fillers used are either hyaluronic acid or a bio-stimulatory product which stimulates the production of your own collagen. These products are naturally occurring substances in your body, non – animal derived, have vast research and safety profiles and used extensively in the aesthetic industry.
These are bespoke treatments and the focus is keeping results natural.
FAQ
.
HOW DO DERMAL FILLERS WORK?
Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers work by boosting the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid revitalising or/and adding volume and structure to an area instantly. The sugar-based gel varies in its concentration, longevity and enables professionals to choose the most suitable one for the desired outcome. The gel attracts water and expands to support or lift tissue either superficially, deep or both.
Bio-stimulatory filler ingredients, mechanism and action is different they give a short-term immediate plumping effect yet the goal is to stimulate your body to produce its own collagen providing lasting fullness and lift.
Both these fillers are biocompatible and biodegradable.
HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY TIME?
Most people return to their normal routine on the day they are treated as there is minimal downtime.
DOES IT HURT?
Dermal Fillers tend to include an anaesthetic called ‘lidocaine’, which helps reduce any discomfort you may feel during treatment. A numbing cream can be applied to the area being treated as well.
IS THE TREATMENT SAFE?
Dermal fillers are considered to be relatively safe in the right hands, it is important to be medically accredited, trained in correct techniques and work within your competencies. However there are potential risks for unwanted side-effects and professionals must be trained to deal with complications.
Common temporary side effects can include; swelling, redness and tenderness which settle very quickly usually within 48 hours, bruising can happen and unfortunately would take longer to settle approximately 7-10 days.
HOW LONG WILL THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
Treatment time can vary from 45 – 60 minutes depending on the area or areas treated at any one time.
WILL I SEE RESULTS QUICKLY?
Results are instant with hyaluronic acid and bio-stimulatory fillers yet work very differently. These treatments are non-permanent as the body naturally breaks down the filler over time depending on the thickness of the gel, amount of filler used and the response of the bio-stimulation.
WHO CAN HAVE THE TREATMENT?
This treatment is for both men and women over the age of 18 years. Cosmetic and Medical assessments are undertaken to make sure the procedure is appropriate and safe to undertake.
Dermal fillers have not been tested in pregnant and breast-feeding women and for these reasons are excluded from being treated.
HOW LONG WILL RESULTS LAST?
Results vary from client to client but most dermal fillers will last between six and 18 months and thereafter maintenance is recommended.
