Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles and lines and enhance facial contours. Although there are many different types of fillers, the most popular are hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. HA is a substance that already exists in the skin; one of its’ main functions is to hydrate and plump the skin.

Dermal fillers can have different structures and consistencies that make them more suitable for treatment of different areas. For example, when choosing the best filler for the lips, we seek a filler that is soft and moves smoothly with facial expression e.g. smiling or puckering of the lips and that adds moisture. When choosing the best filler for the cheeks, we seek a filler that is firm and volumising, adding better definition and providing a lifting effect.

As with any injection, it is possible that you may experience some redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising. These may take a 2-3 days to resolve and bruises sometimes longer. We advise that you don’t plan treatments around important commitments and allow at least 2 weeks between treatment and an important social or work event.

We recommend that you avoid taking blood thinning tablets such as aspirin or ibuprofen (unless prescribed by your doctor) for 3 days prior to treatment. We also advise avoiding alcohol intake for 24 hours prior to treatment. It is also important that you are available for follow-up after treatment, so we recommend not to book injectable treatment if you are travelling in the next two weeks.
