Dermal fillers are substances/gels injected beneath the skin's surface to smooth wrinkles and add volume and contour. It is by no means permanent and is biodegradable. Depending on the dermal filler type, results can last between one to two years. Dermal fillers are safe.

The face reduces volume and contour as we age. The bones and the soft tissue dissolve, resulting in the appearance of sagging. Dermal fillers may be used to fill in this volume reduction and restore the structural support, giving the patient a more youthful appearance. The aim is to make a face more harmonious and rejuvenated.

For instance, the lips may be injected to improve their shape, size, symmetry, and proportion. The cheeks may be injected to make a face more defined and attractive. An underdeveloped chin may be injected to make it appear more projected and proportionate. The nose may be injected to improve the shape and its contour.

It can be painful if the procedure is carried out by an injector who is not as skilled.

We use a topical numbing agent and ice. The procedure involves a few tiny injections directly into the skin and takes 15–30 minutes. Makeup can be applied after the procedure, and you can go straight back to work. The result can be seen immediately. Optimal results can be maintained over a long period of time through regular repeated treatments. The procedure varies from person to person depending on your requirements and the severity of the wrinkles that are being treated, in addition to the particular dermal filler being administered.

Results are seen instantly after the treatment, although this gradually improves over the course of the following 2–4 weeks. Results can last between 9–18 months, although optimal results can be maintained over a long period of time through regular repeated treatments. The longevity varies from person to person depending on your requirements and the severity of the wrinkles being treated, in addition to the particular dermal filler being administered.

Yes. We use only FDA-approved products. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance that occurs naturally in skin cells. Thus there is no risk of allergic reactions. Even people with food sensitivities can receive these fillers safely. The brands of dermal fillers we use are available in more than 90 countries and have been used as an injectable cosmetic treatment for over two decades with an excellent safety record.

Yes. Bruising: occasionally, bruising can occur.

For 48 hours post-treatment, you are advised to avoid alcohol, aspirin, strenuous exercise, extreme heat (sun bed or sunbathing), or intense cold. You can drive yourself home or return to work immediately after the treatment. As with any injection, there may be some slight redness immediately afterward. Camouflage makeup may be applied. The results directly after the treatment should, therefore, not be seen as the final results. This is because the results will gradually improve over the following two weeks.

Cost depends on the type of dermal filler, the amount of dermal filler required, and the areas of the face you wish to be treated (e.g., Undereye hollow and cheeks). During the consultation, we will formulate a treatment plan for you and advise the exact cost of your treatments. Our prices are competitive, and your treatments will be carried out by a national expert. We believe our patients deserve the utmost safety in our care, and we are committed to offering reliable, safe, and effective results. Prices start from around $500.

The most important things to consider are:

• Is the injector qualified and experienced?
• Does the injector have the knowledge to identify signs of complications and act on them?
• Does the doctor share your aesthetic vision?
