As our bodies age, we lose collagen and natural proteins. This leaves our skin lacking in volume and elasticity. Dermal fillers are made from a naturally occurring complex sugar, which is found in the tissues of your living cells. The sugar helps keep the skin hydrated by attracting and holding water. It also combines with the collagen and elastin in the skin to aid in improving skin structure, elasticity, and smoothness.

Dermal fillers specifically target the loss of volume in the face by plumping any outlines on the face and replenishing the volume under the skin by hydrating and treating deep wrinkles.

Most people prefer to go for dermal filler procedures because it is less invasive than other facial rejuvenation procedures like facelifts. Dermal fillers are also more effective than facial creams and offer immediate results.

What is the difference between dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers?

People often use ‘dermal fillers’ and ‘wrinkle relaxers’ interchangeably and mix them up. The main difference between dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers is that wrinkle relaxers have muscle-relaxing properties while dermal fillers add volume to the skin to smoothen wrinkles.

Can you combine dermal fillers with other wrinkle relaxer injections?

The answer is yes. You can combine dermal fillers with other wrinkle relaxer injections for a more defined look and smoother results.

Where can dermal fillers be used?

Dermal fillers are often used on the face. They can also be used on other problem areas such as the neck and hands.

They can be used to enhance lips, smoothen frown lines, and replenish the volume and definition our cheeks lose as we get older.

As the backs of our hands lose volume as we age, it results in wrinkles and the development of loose skin. Dermal fillers improve the look and feel of the hands by filling in wrinkles and reducing the appearance of loose skin.

How does the treatment work?

Dermal fillers are injected into the face to correct any fine lines, creases and folds, scars, and loss of volume. The procedure usually takes 15-30 minutes and the results are immediate. For your comfort, our clinicians may administer a local anaesthetic or a numbing cream to the treatment area.

Will people know I’ve had work done?

As mentioned earlier, dermal fillers replicate our body’s natural process by hydrating the skin and improving its structure, elasticity, and smoothness. Dermal fillers are very natural looking. However, it is your choice on how subtle or dramatic you want your results to be.

How long do Dermal fillers last?

Ignore the myths and misconceptions about having to top up dermal fillers every week or so. The effects of dermal fillers are visible almost instantly. They typically last for six to twelve months depending on the type of filler and depth injected.
