Get The Facts On Dermal Fillers

As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume as well as other factors that affect the facial skin, which include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle.

Dermal Fillers can be a rescue option to these early signs of ageing as it helps to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. (See: Difference Between Wrinkle reduction treatment & Dermal Fillers)

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injections used to fill out wrinkles, correct fine lines, creases and folds, scars and loss of volume in the skin. They can also be used to increase the volume and definition of the lips. Dermal fillers are made from a variety of materials and the effects can be either temporary or permanent, depending on the type of filler.

During the procedure, the practitioner injects the filler in a series of small injections and gently massages the area. Some treatments require a local anesthetic cream or injection. The treatment time can vary from 30 minutes to an hour. The area where the dermal filler is injected may be a little swollen and tender for 24 hours. During that time you may be advised to avoid coffee, alcohol, hot drinks and the sun. (Read more on Wrinkle reduction treatment After Care)
