What is facial filler?
Has the skin on your face lost its firmness and fullness? Do you have deep wrinkles? Or a facial scar? If so, a facial filler treatment may be the perfect solution.
How does it work?
Facial fillers (also known as dermal fillers) use a natural gel to smooth out wrinkles, folds or scars to give your face a younger, refreshed more plumped appearance. Dermal filler is a naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into the face to smooth wrinkles and folds (especially around the nose and mouth). It is also used to plump out scars or dents in the face and to define and enhance lips, reshape the nose, or define and plump out cheeks.
What is the result?
Lines and wrinkles are smoothed out, producing an instant effect that will leave your face feeling younger and fresher and looking more youthful than ever before. Most patients need one treatment and the results last about 9 months to 1 year.
How can a facial filler treatment help me?
Dermal fillers can reduce the visibility of wrinkles, creases and lines around the following areas:
- Forehead
- Nose
- Mouth
- Cheeks
Are dermal fillers safe?
Yes, as long as they are administered by a medical professional. The hyaluronic gel is completely natural, and over time, the filler will slowly dissolve, causing no harm to you.
What are the possible side effects?
Most side effects are mild and temporary e.g. redness, pain, swelling.
