Dermal Fillers
What is
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are used to rejuvenate the facial skin by reducing and/or eliminating wrinkles, deep lines, scarring etc. The main areas used are cheeks, nose, nasolabial folds, smile lines, chin and jawline. They also work by making the skin more plump and younger. The effects can last up to 1 year, depending on how quickly an individuals own body breaks down the filler.
After
Care
- There is no down time really from dermal fillers, although, there may be bruising, redness, tenderness and/or swelling to the treated area so some patients may choose not to return to work/daily activities immediately.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Avoid touching and/or massaging the treated area.
- Keep the treated area clean.
- Avoid sleeping on the treated area for first few days (eg. if you have cheek fillers, sleep on your back etc.)
