How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances primarily composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring compound in the body. These fillers work by restoring lost volume, smoothing wrinkles, and enhancing facial contours. Once injected under the skin, they bind to water molecules to hydrate and plump the treated area, delivering a natural, youthful appearance.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Dermal fillers are versatile and can be used to treat:
Lips for fullness / Smile lines (Nasolabial folds) / Cheeks for volume enhancement / Tear troughs (Under eyes) / Nose (Non-surgical rhinoplasty) / Chin and jawline for contouring / Temples and marionette lines
What Is the Cost of Dermal Fillers?
At Our Skin Clinic, the prices for dermal filler treatments vary depending on the area and type of filler:
The treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess your goals. A numbing agent may be applied for comfort, and the filler is then carefully injected using fine needles. The process typically takes about an hour, depending on the areas treated.
You’ll notice the results of dermal fillers immediately after the procedure, with the full effect visible in a few days as swelling or bruising fades. Results typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area and the type of filler used. Areas like lips may need touch-ups sooner, while cheeks or jawlines may last longer. To maintain results, avoid excessive sun exposure and smoking, as these can speed up the breakdown of the filler. Regular touch-up treatments can help keep your look fresh.
Dermal fillers are ideal for individuals seeking to enhance their facial contours, smooth wrinkles, or restore lost volume. Consult with our professionals to determine if this treatment is suitable for you.
How Do I Prepare for the Treatment?
Avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment. Ensure you discuss your medical history and any concerns during your consultation.
Dermal fillers are generally safe, but as with any cosmetic procedure, there may be some side effects. The most common ones include mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site, which usually resolve within a few days. In rare cases, there may be lumps or an allergic reaction, but these are very uncommon. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions to minimize any risks. If you experience persistent pain, unusual symptoms, or signs of infection, contact our clinic immediately.
