Dermal Fillers
The Problem
As skin ages it loses its elasticity and becomes less supple. As a result, lips can lose their fullness, lines can appear around the mouth and nose area, and cheeks can start to look sunken and hollow. You can meet our medical team for a free consultation to learn about your options and discuss what the most suitable solution is for you.
The Treatment
Dermal fillers, made from Hyaluronic Acid, are the most popular volume enhancing treatments used to reduce facial lines and wrinkles and to restore plumpness to the lips and cheeks, redifining the shape of your face. Dermal fillers are ever growing in popularity – they are safe, long-lasting and offer natural looking results.
There are many fillers on the market that are substandard. The SkinOvations uses only the highest quality brand of temporary fillers.
The Results
Lines and wrinkles are smoothed out and the skin appears plumper, fuller and younger.
Downtime
None. You can go back to work immediately after your treatment and you can apply make-up over the treated area.
FAQs
- What does the treatment involve?
Small amounts of dermal filler are injected directly into the skin using an ultrafine needle. The gel helps to plump up the skin, thereby smoothing out lines and wrinkles. If the lips or facial contours are being treated, the filler adds volume, restores shape and gives a fuller appearance. Our policy is ‘less is more’ so we will always aim to give you a natural, subtle look.
- Do the injections hurt?
Most dermal fillers include an added anaesthetic, which makes the treatment virtually painless.
- How long does the treatment take?
The length of the treatment will depend on the areas being filled, but generally the procedure takes about 30 minutes.
- How soon will I see the results?
Dermal fillers work instantly so you’ll see the results straight away.
- How long will the results last?
The effects will fade gradually but should last between 4 and 13 months depending on the treatment, at which point you can come back to us for a top up treatment. If you decide not to continue with the injections the gel will biodegrade in the skin and simply disappear.
- Are there any side effects?
There will be some redness, tenderness and swelling around the treated area immediately after the injection. You might also feel an itching sensation. All side effects should subside after a couple of hours.
