Restoration and enhancement of natural beauty
A dermal filler appointment typically involves several steps, ensuring that the process is safe, effective, and tailored to your specific aesthetic goals. Here’s what you can generally expect during a dermal filler appointment.
Our Nurse Practitioner will ask about your aesthetic goals and any areas of concern, such as fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss, or facial contouring. Any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or previous cosmetic procedures will be discussed to ensure that the dermal filler procedure is safe to have.
Photographs will be taken of the intended treatment area for before-and-after comparisons. The skin will be prepped and a topical numbing cream can be applied to minimise discomfort. Some dermal fillers also contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, for added comfort during the procedure. The dermal filler is injected into the targeted areas with a fine needle or cannula. The practitioner will use precise techniques to achieve smooth, natural-looking results.
Restore volume, smooth wrinkles and enhance facial contours
Dermal filler treatments work by replenishing areas of the face that have lost their natural fullness due to ageing, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, fat, and elastin, which can create a hollow or sunken look, particularly in areas like the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. Dermal fillers effectively add volume to these areas, helping to restore balance and fullness to the face while reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Smooth out wrinkles and lines
Fillers can help reduce the appearance of static wrinkles, which are lines that remain visible even when the face is at rest. Commonly treated areas include nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines around the mouth.
In addition to reducing wrinkles, fillers can be used to sculpt and enhance facial contours, such as the jawline, chin, and cheeks. Many people choose dermal fillers to achieve more defined cheekbones or to refine the shape of their chin. They are also ideal for enhancing and restoring volume to the lips, improving their shape, hydrating them, and smoothing out fine lines around the mouth. One of the key benefits of dermal fillers is the immediate results they offer, with minimal downtime required.
