Dermal fillers are used to restore volume to the face as well as to enhance existing facial features. As we age, our skin begins to lose elasticity and natural hydration. This combined with the effects of gravity can lead to lines wrinkles and sagging of the skin.
Restoring volume to key areas in the face can lead to a natural lift which will shave off years of ageing from a person’s face resulting in a fresher and more youthful, balanced appearance.
Dermal fillers can be used on different areas of the face and there are different fillers for specific purposes, depending on your needs and the extent of your volume loss or the area you would like to add volume to.
Dermal fillers differ in chemical makeup, longevity and have varying degrees of softness. Softer HA (Hyaluronic acid) fillers such as Juvederm Volift, Teosyl Redensity 2 and Belotero Soft, are used in the lips and eyes, while firm and thicker ones such as Juvederm Volux and Belotero Intense might be desired to enhance jawline and chin area.
Volumising products such as Juvederm Voluma, Belotero Volume and Restylane are used to re-shape and sculpt the face, aside from adding volume to the face. These can be used for cheek/mid-face area and temples.
Our doctors will determine with you the best type and volume of filler needed for your areas of concern.
Majority of patients as early as in their 30’s complain of hollow, sunken under eye circles resulting in a daily feeling of looking tired and old. This area requires precise placement of the product to avoid undesirable outcomes. The overall effect is a fresher and less tired under eye appearance.
These are the lines that form between the lower nose and corners of the mouth which deepen with age. New techniques of treating this area now address the root cause which comes from volume loss in the mid cheek, whereas older techniques used to result in a “sausage” appearance in the nasolabial region. Gentle restoration of volume loss in the mid face followed by subsequent treatment of the nasolabial results in a natural youthful and freshened appearance.
HA fillers can also be used to achieve the much coveted V-shape face by improving the appearance of the chin. The results for the V-shape is best achieved when combined with neurotoxin injections to slim the jawline.
Before any dermal filler injection, you will be consulted by our doctor who will thoroughly discuss and lay out a treatment plan for you. The skin is then prepared with numbing cream for about 30 minutes to improve the patient’s comfort level.
During the procedure itself, dermal fillers are administered using small needles or blunt needles called cannulas. Depending on the areas being treated, the whole procedure does not take long and it will feel effortless and fast. Results are usually visible after one treatment and patients are reviewed at 2 weeks for any fine-tuning if needed.
Mild swelling and bruising may occur depending on the individual and the areas treated, this will usually last about a week or so. Normal activities can be resumed after the procedure but vigorous exercise and exposure to extreme heat should be avoided to prevent worsening of swelling or bruising.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are completely safe and are biocompatible with our skin. They naturally dissolve with time and results can last up to 10 months depending on the type of filler used in your case.
Effects of Dermal HA fillers vary from individual to individual and areas treated but on average can last up to 12 months.
