Dermal Fillers

As a person ages, the body begins to lose collagen. Collagen is an important substance that exists in your skin, muscles, bones and tissues. A decrease in the amount of collagen can cause skin laxity and loss of volume. The skin becomes thinner, loses its elasticity and starts to sag.Dermal fillers can be used to treat: ● Sagging skin ● Making facial features more symmetrical. ● Plumping lips and cheeks. ● Smoothing wrinkles and creases. Adding volume to help smooth the texture of the skin’s surface can work effectively to soften the look of facial wrinkles, including smile lines and lip lines. As the underlying tissues of the skin lose density and facial volume loss becomes apparent, dermal fillers can restore a volumised look to sunken cheeks, tear trough furrows and hollow temples. Acting to replace lost collagen in the skin, helps to restore a firm and full structure that effectively lifts sagging skin around the cheeks, chin and jawline. Expertly administered to follow the natural lines of the face, this enables the features to replenish their strong contouring.

Dermal fillers have many uses to help improve the look of the face, hands, neck and decolletage. Both younger and older adults, men and women find the use of dermal fillers can achieve the appearance they desire as the effects of ageing can be reduced as well as creating a more striking appearance. Whatever your needs, Doctor Nyla and her team can expertly advise the type of procedure you will require in order to address your personal concerns. Restoring volume beneath the skin is what dermal fillers does best, whether that is to replace lost collagen or to build upon your natural structure to strengthen the features.

Some minor discomfort may be experienced both during the procedure and for a short while afterwards. Dermal fillers can be administered following the application of a topical numbing cream (20 – 30 minutes before the treatment), however some products will contain a mild anaesthetic. A fine needle is used to minimise any discomfort, with any lasting tenderness settling within a matter of hours.

Redness, swelling and bruising are normal effects that are to be expected immediately following the treatment. These effects are usually very minor and will have subsided in around 24 hours. Small bruises that appear where the injections were administered in the skin, can be covered with concealing make-up if the patient wishes. During the consultation session, any other potential side effects will be outlined, reducing their risk by sharing your medical history.
