Dermal fillers can be used to improve many areas of the face, including cheeks, under eyes, smile lines, lips, temples, nose, jawline, and even scars. A qualified practitioner can achieve results like a more youthful appearance, smoother skin, and improved facial contours.

The area to be treated is completely cleaned and then anaesthetised with either topical numbing cream or via nerve block injections. The dermal fillers are then expertly inserted into the area with either a needle or cannula technique. The particular technique used will be dictated by a number of factors and is determined by the skill of the practitioner. An appointment can take up to 30 minutes, meaning you can have the procedure done during your lunch break and return to work immediately after.

You will see results of the treatment almost immediately. Fillers are made to be like tissue that is naturally produced in the body and they will dissolve over time. After receiving your fillers, you can expect them to last for up to 18 months.

Imitating the naturally occurring cells and tissues in the body, dermal fillers come in a gel form and are injected into the sub-cutaneous layer of the skin. They then exert a volume-lifting effect on the surrounding tissues, which immediately adds volume and revitalises the skin.

Receiving fillers is non-invasive, so you won’t need to book time off work to heal. However, please note that there may be some swelling in the areas that were injected. As long as the treatment is performed by a highly skilled professional, there are very few complications, however, dermal fillers have been known to cause a blockage of an artery leading to tissue damage. We understand that sometimes people change their minds. Perhaps you were excited about receiving cosmetic injections, but after the procedure, having seen the results, decided it wasn’t for you. The great thing about fillers is that they can be dissolved with an injection immediately after the procedure if you’re unhappy with the results.
