DERMAL FILLER
WHAT IS DERMAL FILLER AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Hyaluronic Acid is naturally produced by your body. The largest amount of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in your body is found in skin, connective tissue and your eyes. Its main function is to retain water in order to maintain moisture. HA levels in the body diminish as we get older due to the aging process and also due to sun exposure and pollution.
HA in the form of injectable Dermal Filler can be used to replenish these levels, giving your skin a more supple, youthful appearance. Treatment can last anywhere from a couple of months to a couple of years depending on the individual and chosen filler. The properties of Dermal filler are that it attracts water into the skins extracellular matrix which increases the skins’ elasticity, giving you a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING A DERMAL FILLER TREATMENT?
This begins with a consultation about your treatment options that are tailored to your needs and wants. A numbing cream is sometimes applied to the area prior to treatment. If this is necessary it may take 20 minutes to start working. This is why we allocate a longer time for your dermal filler treatment.
The skin is cleansed and a Hyaluronic Acid Gel in the form of dermal filler is administered using a tiny needle. The result is instant plumpness and enhanced volume of the treated area. It is normal for some swelling and bruising to occur after dermal filler treatment which dissipates in a few days.
WHAT CAN DERMAL FILLER DO FOR YOU?
- Hydrate the skin giving a fresh, rejuvenated appearance

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?
The great thing about dermal filler is that the results are instant.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Dermal filler can last anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or longer. It will depend on the brand used and the thickness of the gel. The other determining factor is how quickly your body metabolises the product. The appropriate filler for your needs will be discussed during your consultation.
HOW MUCH DO DERMAL FILLERS COST?
The cost of dermal filler depends on the number and extent of areas that need treatment. Please contact the clinic for more information regarding your personal aims and requirements or book a free consultation.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS DERMAL FILLER?
All cosmetic injecting treatments come with potential risks and side effects. These are explained during your consultation and you can decide whether this treatment is right for you. The most common side effect that occurs with Dermal filler is swelling. This is particularly normal when getting dermal filler for lip enhancement. The technique used can also determine the level of swelling that can occur. The other common side effect with filler is bruising. Swelling and bruising may take several days to subside. All of which is explained during your consultation. This is why we advise coming in for treatment at least 2 weeks before an event.
