Facial Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments containing hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally produced by the body to maintain hydration and skin elasticity. These fillers are used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, restore or enhance facial volume, and to give the skin a refreshed, youthful appearance.
They offer a cost-effective option for subtle aesthetic enhancement, with visible results appearing instantly and typically lasting up to nine months.
What are Facial Dermal Fillers Used For?
Dermal fillers can help in restoring lost volume, or add definition to specific areas of the face or body. They are frequently used to enhance the lips, cheeks, jawline and deep facial creases.
However, they also rejuvenate other areas including the hands, neck and knees. Some treatments may also be used to achieve a subtle lift in areas like the buttocks.
Aftercare
Following your dermal filler treatment, it is important to follow a few simple guidelines to ensure the best results. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot tubs, sunbeds or hot showers for at least 4 hours after the procedure.
Refrain from lying down or receiving facial or head massages for 24 hours.
Other than these precautions, clients usually return to their daily activities immediately after a session with little to no downtime.
Avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated area.

Side Effects
As with any injectable treatment, dermal fillers may cause mild and temporary side effects. These can include slight redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising at the injection sites. Some may notice minor lumps or asymmetry, which usually resolve as the filler settles.
In rarer cases, an allergic reaction or a vascular complication may occur. If you experience prolonged pain, severe swelling or signs of infection, we ask that you seek medical advice immediately.
