As a result of ageing, sun damage, worry, gravity, and other environmental factors, our facial skin begins to develop lines and wrinkles. This is a manifestation of skin ageing. It is possible to smooth out folds and wrinkles using dermal fillers to give the face a more relaxed and youthful appearance. This is also used to augment specific parts of the face such as the lips. Dermal filler is injected into the lines and defects to plump them out and then remains in the skin where it binds with water to produce a lift and firmness to the treated areas.
How it's done
Dermal Fillers are made from collagen, hyaluronic acid and other natural substances that are injected into the skin and deeper tissues to restore fullness, lift skin and smooth creases. The injected substance supports the skin and restores the volume that is lost over time. Restoration of facial volume with fillers creates a natural and long-lasting youthful appearance without surgery.
What to expect after the treatment
Patient recovery is considered very positive and convenient. Dermal
Filler injections are painless as well as the recovery process. Most
of our patients do not even feel the needle enter their skin at all.
If they do, it is reported that at the most it may feel like a slight
insect bite. As far as recovery, there is no lying down waiting on recovery.
You are able to get back to your daily activities immediately following
the procedure. Take care, though, not to rub or massage the treated
areas.
