Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid) are injected beneath the skins surface and are naturally absorbed by the body and broken down. This Hyaluronic Acid is found naturally in the body.
As we grow older, our skin starts to thin, become prone to damaging quickly, lose elasticity and suppleness along with having a decreased ability to heal itself quickly. These factors all lead to sagging skin and wrinkles. However, these factors can be caused by several reasons such as weather, diet, bad habits or hereditary factors. This is all part of the ageing process, of course. Dermal Fillers can help to slow this down and keep the skin looking fresh and supple.
Face creams, face masks, moisturisers, exfoliators and serums are some of the vital components of any skincare routine. Unfortunately, these do not get rid of wrinkles, tighten skin or correct any imperfections, though some genuinely good products can offer slight, temporary results.
Dermal Fillers can be used to:
- Enhance lips
- Get rid of frown, smile and lipstick/smoker’s lines
- Plump cheeks
- Contour the face including cheeks, chin and jawline
- Change and enhance the nose shape
- Get rid of fine or deep lines and creases
- Treat the under-eye area to minimise dark circles, creasing and shadowing
Dermal Filler treatments can offer the appearance of younger, more youthful looking skin. The effects of Dermal Fillers can last around 6 to 18 months depending on the treatment type. Results will vary person to person due to the skin’s natural genetic makeup.
Dermal Filler Treatment Areas
Full Face Lift:
A non-surgical facelift that uses Dermal Fillers on deep & fine lines across the whole face. Clients can choose whether to have a more natural or enhanced look.
Sunken or dark circles around the eyes can be refreshed & made to look more youthful using dermal fillers. This treatment uses high density hyaluronic acid with a microcannula to correct the defects.
Nose:
Non-Surgical rhinoplasty is a safe, non-invasive alternative to traditional rhinoplasty and is also known as 15-minute nose job. The treatment only involves dermal filler injections which are strategically used to reshape the nose by smoothing out bumps, straightening the nose or defining the tip.
Naso-Labial:
These lines run from the outer corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
Marionettes:
These lines run from the mouth to the chin. These deep lines can make the face look like it is sagging and dull its glow. Lines can be reduced to give you a more youthful, smoother & fresher look.
The lips are the perfect way to enhance your look, leaving you feeling and looking like never before. This is one of the most popular treatments which can offer a new look to any face.
Smoker’s / Lipstick /Smile Lines:
Does your lipstick bleed? This treatment will make sure that you don’t have to think twice about what lipstick you use. Want to help ease and soften those deep lines around the mouth area? This treatment does just that!
Chin:
Have a short chin? Or want to redefine its contours to create a slimmer looking face? Hyaluronic acid can reshape your chin, to improve both your side and front profile.
Jaw:
Hyaluronic acid can be used to create definition where there is a loss of volume or elasticity. Can be used to create a “wider, stronger” jawline to give a more contoured look.
Cheek:
Dermal fillers are injected into specific areas of the cheeks to lift or volumise the area.
How our Dermal Filler treatments work
Preparation
Your initial consultation with Dr Aesthetica will consist of evaluating your full medical history and lifestyle including whether previous treatments have been undertaken and what your expectations are from the treatment itself. This will determine whether you are a safe candidate for Dermal Fillers.
Treatment
A topical anaesthetic will be applied before treatment begins. The treatment itself will last around 30 minutes depending on the number of treatment areas. Full face Dermal Fillers can take around 1 hour to complete.
Recovery
Recovery is dependent on person to person. It can take up to around 48 hours to make a full recovery. In this time you may experience sensitivity, swelling and/or bruising for up to 24 hours. You will need to refrain from touching or rubbing the treated areas for around 6 hours.
Result
Results are immediately visible once the treatment has been completed and – depending on the treatment type – can last from 6 to 18 months.
