Dermal fillers are soft, gel-like substances that are injected under the skin to treat volume loss or enhance facial features. They can address several common concerns including deep under-eye hollowness, sunken cheeks, thin poorly-defined lips, volume loss in the lower face, under-projected chin, and deep laugh and Marionette lines.
Dermal fillers are composed of a variety of substances, some naturally occurring and some synthetic. One of the most common compounds used in dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance found in our skin, which plays a major role in keeping skin hydrated and volumized.
Our in-house Cosmetic Doctor has over 10 years of experience specializing in non-surgical facial augmentation. Using premium brands and operating in a clinic setting, we have helped our customers achieve a smooth and natural look and feel.
Our Cosmetic Doctor will first assess your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals. A treatment plan will be custom designed based on your concerns, goals, budget and timeframes. The amount of dermal filler required can range from 1ml to 4ml for most facial procedures.
On the day of the procedure, the treatment area is cleaned and marked to highlight injection points. We use premium dermal fillers that are mixed with a local anaesthetic, which renders the procedure virtually painless. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, is safe, and does not leave any scars. Some fine needle marks may be visible for 1-4 hours after the procedure but will go away by itself. Improvements are immediately noticeable.
Over the next few weeks, the dermal fillers will integrate uniformly with the skin to result in a lifted more youthful appearance. Hyaluronic acid fillers are hydrophilic in nature – meaning they attract water – hence the immediate plumping effect.
The longevity of the dermal fillers varies depending on the patient’s lifestyle, physical characteristics, and the treatment area. Absorption is typically faster in treated areas that are more affected by muscle movement, e.g. the mouth.
Side effects are minimal and typically localised to the areas of injection. Common side effects include soreness or pain, bruises, redness and/or swelling for a few days after a procedure. The use of cannulas reduces risks of bruising. Rarely, lumpiness or infection may occur if the procedure is done incorrectly or in a non-sterile environment. It is imperative that dermal filler procedures are performed by a registered medical practitioner in a sterile setting, as is the case with us.
Following dermal filler procedures, patients are advised to keep the treated area clean, and free of makeup for at least 3 days. Extreme temperatures and facial procedures are to be avoided for approximately 2 weeks.
