Here you will find all the information relating to this particular treatment.
What are they?
Dermal fillers are made of synthetic hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring, clear and lubricating substance. In the body it is found in the skin, inside joints, in the eye sockets and in other tissues where it can help retain moisture and improve elasticity and flexibility.
What are they for?
As the face ages the cushioning lipid pads beneath the skin start to shrink and there is less structure for the skin to sit on. The skin takes on a looser appearance and sits in folds around the nose and mouth. The grooves that run from the nose down to the lips are called nasolabial folds and the folds that run from the corners of the lip down to the chin are called marionette lines. Fine lines can also appear on the upper lip. Dermal fillers can be used to fill these folds which then provides underlying support for the skin and produces a more youthful appearance.
How does it work?
Dermal fillers contain different length strands of hyaluronic acid which, once administered, are able to absorb water and increase in size to provide a youthful plumpness to the folds and creases in the skin. The different fillers available contain different complexes of strands to provide a natural, moderate or dramatic difference to your face.

After treatment
The area may be swollen and may appear larger than desired however this will settle in a few days. The filler starts to attract moisture and the plumping effect will continue for two weeks at which point you will be asked to return for an assessment of the results. Dermal fillers can last between six and nine months depending on the area treated and the patient.
Side effects
During and after the treatment the treated area may swell. This can be due to the presence of anaesthetic in the skin and multiple insertion of the needle which will cause some bleeding and bruising. You can apply ice to the area but must avoid heat, excessive massage, alcohol and vigorous exercise for 24 hours These visible symptoms may persist for between two to three days and it is important to consider this when scheduling the treatment date.
