What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal Fillers are made from Hyaluronic Acid – a gel-like substance that is found naturally in our bodies which helps to keep our skin and soft tissue hydrated and plump. As dermal fillers are natural, the gel is gradually broken down by the body over time. There are numerous different filler products currently available, with different products specialized to treat different areas of the face.

Our team will advise you on which filler will give the best results for you. Sometimes other treatments are used in combination with or instead of dermal fillers to achieve the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Getting Dermal Fillers Painful?

Most people find dermal fillers to be a relatively painless procedure, with only mild discomfort during the injections. Your practitioner may use a topical numbing cream or ice to minimize any discomfort.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

The effects of dermal fillers typically last 6-18 months, depending on the type of filler used and the individual’s metabolism. To maintain the results, repeat treatments are usually needed every 6-12 months.

Am I A Good Candidate?

Most individuals are good candidates for dermal fillers, though the ideal candidate would need minimal permanent work done, does not smoke, and is in overall good health. When a person smokes, it takes longer to heal.

This is why nonsmokers have a higher long-term success rate from dermal fillers. Additionally, if you are considering dermal filler treatments, it is important to have realistic expectations of the results you will receive and the fact that it is possible for multiple treatments to be necessary to achieve them.

What Can I Expect After A Treatment?

After a dermal filler treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. These side effects usually subside within a few hours to a few days. You should avoid strenuous exercise and lying down for several hours after the treatment.
