Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, made of hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite, gently erases wrinkles adding volume and hydration to the ageing skin in a subtle natural way.

Treatment benefits
  • Modelling the contour of the face (e.g. augmenting cheeks)
  • Reducing the wrinkles that can appear at the corners of the lips
  • Adding volume and smoothing out the deep creases that run from nose to the mouth (called nasolabial folds or laugh lines)
  • Removing or softening frown lines between the eyebrows
  • Filling out depressions (hollows) under the eye area
  • Adding volume to sunken cheeks and a dragged down appearance
  • Evening scars from acne or chicken pox
  • Enhancing the lips and improving their profile
  • Non-toxic and biocompatible, stimulates the creation of collagen
  • Instant effect lasting 6-12 months
Prior to the treatment being carried out, a topical local anaesthetic cream may be applied to ensure the treatment is pain free. Then after cleansing the area to be treated, small amounts of dermal filler is injected directly into the skin using an ultra fine needle. The treatment can take up to 30 minutes and its results can be observed instantly.
As we grow older, our skin gradually loses the collagen that helps to shape and support it. Natural lines and wrinkles deepen. Sun exposure, smoking, air pollution and even stress can all age your appearance.

What are hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite?

Hyaluronic acid is a type of sugar (polysaccharide) that is naturally occurring in body tissues, such as skin and cartilage. It is able to combine with water and swell causing a smoothing/filling effect. When we are born, we have huge stocks of hyaluronic acid in our bodies and thanks to that our skin is elastic and plump. As we age, its levels decrease meaning that our skin is less well supported and hydrated, allowing lines and wrinkles to develop. Injected hyaluronic acid is non-toxic and biocompatible and it does not interfere with natural body processes.

Expected results

The effect is instant and it lasts between 6-12 months.
As dermal filler is gradually reabsorbed, it stimulates the creation of collagen. Which means that even when its completely gone, the skin is considerably more hydrated and has more elasticity that before the treatment.

Post treatment recommendations

For two weeks after the treatment, the patient should avoid strong sun exposure as well as heat exposure (sauna).

Possible side effects

You may experience some slight swelling or bruising to the area being injected but it typically doesn’t last longer than 72 hours. In case of allergic reactions observed, please contact the doctor immediately.

Containdictions
  • pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • autoimmune disorders
  • active infection near the site of injection
  • a known allergy/hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid
  • keloid-prone skin
