What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are an injectable, biocompatible gel type that is used to reduce facial lines and restore the fullness and volume of the face. They help to

• Soften face lines and wrinkles
• Reconstruct contour defects in the face 
• Enhance shallow contours 
• Improve the appearance of scars present on the face

How Do Dermal Fillers Work? 

Dermal fillers help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, create volume and contour the skin. It revitalises the skin with hyaluronic acid (HA), an active ingredient. Hyaluronic acid attracts water to the skin when it is present, moisturising it and giving it a plump appearance.

 In contrast, collagen is a protein that gives the skin its structural support, and as one gets older, its collagen production slows, causing volume loss. Dermal fillers restore lost facial volume to the face to plump sagging skin, fill in wrinkles, and rejuvenate the cheeks and lips for a youthful and fresh appearance. 

What are the Several Indications for which Dermal Fillers can be used? 

Dermal Fillers can be used for the following indications:

• To prevent ageing 
• To Reverse ageing
• Skin hydration 
• Restore facial volume and facial symmetry
• Balancing facial profile 
• Enhance facial features 

 How Long Do Dermal Filler Results Last?

Dermal filler results can last anywhere from four months to a year or longer, depending on the type of dermal filler used, the size of the treatment area, and the skin's age. Dermal fillers are a temporary solution for facial ageing, and repeated treatments are necessary for lasting effects.

 

Is Dermal Fillers Treatment Painful?

Some people feel a little uncomfortable during the treatment. Some dermal fillers include lidocaine (a local anaesthetic) to make treatments more comfortable. 

How are Dermal Fillers Administered? 

After creating a customised treatment plan, the experts will cleanse and prepare the area which is to be treated. Then, a clear gel dermal filler will be injected into the area using an ultra-fine needle. Multiple injections will be required for each treatment area. The complete treatment requires less than an hour. A touch-up treatment might be performed after the initial treatment to optimise the results. Some swelling and bruising are possible in some patients, although these usually subside within a few days. After treatment, one can continue regular activities, but the doctor will advise skipping workouts or strenuous activities for the day.
