Dermal Fillers
Natural and instant facial volumisation with hyaluronic acid
Rated 5/5
Dermal fillers are a non-surgical option to increase facial volume, soften creases, and treat fine lines and wrinkles. When performed by an experienced medical professional, they are a safe and effective way to quickly achieve natural-looking enhancements.
They contain hyaluronic acid, which, when injected, helps the skin retain water, restoring hydration and elasticity. The benefits include improved skin fullness, smoother contours, and a refreshed, youthful appearance.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, often made from hyaluronic acid, that add volume beneath the skin to smooth wrinkles and enhance facial contours. They work by attracting water, restoring fullness and hydration for a natural, youthful look, with effects lasting several months to over a year.
How long does a typical treatment session take?
Dermal filler treatments involve multiple small injections into the skin to administer the hyaluronic acid necessary to achieve the desired cosmetic effects. Treatment usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes, although this may vary depending on the area of treatment.
What downtime is associated with treatment?
There is minimal downtime after dermal filler procedures. As with all injectable treatments, there may be slight bruising or swelling that can persist for the first 2-3 days after treatment but this will not usually inhibit the daily routine. It's recommended to avoid intense physical activity for the first 24–48 hours to reduce swelling and bruising.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Dermal fillers take immediate effect following injection, giving some of the fastest-acting results from any cosmetic procedure.
The longevity of lip fillers can vary depending on:
- the type of filler used
- the patient's metabolism and how their body reacts to the filler.
Typically, lip fillers last between 6 to 12 months.
