What are your goals for 2019? Do you want softer skin with more volume and hydration? Maybe you finally want to have the plumper and more defined lips you’ve always wanted. Dermal fillers are just for you, and here are nine things you should know about them.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are made out of a natural complex sugar that is found in the tissue of your living cells. Dermal fillers specifically target your skin’s loss of volume by plumping the outlines of your skin and hydrating and treating deep wrinkles. This is because the sugar found in dermal fillers keeps your skin hydrated by attracting and holding water. It also combines with your skin’s collagen and elastin to improve your skin’s structure, smoothness and elasticity.

Are dermal fillers the same as anti-wrinkle injections?

Dermal fillers are not the same as wrinkle relaxers. Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the muscles in your face that cause wrinkles such as forehead lines and crow’s feet. This means that when you frown, you won’t notice your forehead lines because the wrinkles have been ‘smoothened out’.

Dermal fillers on the other hand, hydrate and add volume to your skin to give it a smoother, healthier and plumper look.

Where can dermal fillers be used?

Dermal fillers are often used on the face. They can be used to smoothen out marionette lines, frown lines, and replenish volume and definition in your cheeks as you get older.

Dermal fillers can be used to enhance your lips as well, just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Our face isn’t the only part of our body that loses volume due to aging. The back of our hands lose volume as time goes by. This results in lose skin, sagging and wrinkles. Dermal fillers can be used on these problem areas to improve the look and feel of them.

Are dermal fillers painful? I suffer from needle phobia.

As cosmetic professionals, we don’t believe in the ‘no pain, no gain’ mantra; we believe looking great should be pain-free. Before we administer dermal fillers, we can use medical grade numbing gel, or in some cases, numbing injection to numb the treatment area if needed. We also use cold packs on the area to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible during your treatment. All of our fillers contain numbing product within it, so the treatment can be as comfortable as possible.

Suffering with needle phobia is difficult and it shouldn’t stop you from feeling confident in your skin via facial rejuvenation. That’s why we’ve set up our clinic as a warm and cosy environment, free from the harsh glare other clinics have. We tuck our needles away and ensure you’re comfortable.

Our cosmetic team have years of experience and are highly skilled at the best injection techniques to make your treatments quick and effective.

Can anyone administer dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are often seen as a glamorous and fun cosmetic fix. However, it’s important to understand that they are a medical procedure. Dermal fillers must be administered by an injector with years of experience. Here’s why.
