Dermal fillers for anti-ageing: The consequences of ageing can be less than desirable for our skin. As the skin tissues start to lose vital substances such as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid (HA), the skin tone, texture, laxity and facial volume can be affected. This can present itself in a variety of forms:
Injectable dermal fillers are comprised of a cross-linked HA within a gel-type matrix to not only physically plump, volumize and fill areas of lost volume within the skin but to assist with the regeneration of collagen and elastin within the skin’s tissues.
Doctor A is an expert in administering dermal fillers and is fully-qualified and highly-trained to perform this treatment.
There are many types of dermal fillers and they come in different thicknesses and formulations. This is because every ageing concern requires its own solution. For example, the tear trough (under eye) area is extremely delicate and therefore requires a fluid, fine dermal filler. Cheeks that need plumping and filling out will need a thicker, cross-linked dermal filler in order to bring volume and to last within the skin tissues.
Doctor A only uses approved, medical-grade, effective dermal fillers from well-known medical brands such as Allergan. This ensures patient safety as well as the very best results.
Before having dermal fillers for anti-ageing, it’s important to discuss your individual requirements with Doctor A in a no obligation consultation.
In this meeting, he will be able to get to know what is really bothering you about your appearance. He will also be able to check your medical history to ensure that dermal fillers will be a safe option for you.
Doctor A is highly-knowledgeable when it comes to the face and it’s anatomy. What you think might be the solution may not always be so and Doctor A will be able to guide you and suggest the most appropriate and effective treatment for your individual needs.
During the treatment, you may require some numbing cream, depending on the area to be treated. Areas such as the lips, which are very sensitive will require anaesthetic prior to treatment.
Once you are comfortably numb, Doctor A will use either a needle or cannula to administer the dermal filler in to the area of concern. He may then massage the area to shape and mould the dermal filler. This will ensure a pleasing shape and a soft-appearance.
After your treatment you may experience some swelling, tenderness and slight bruising, depending on which areas of the face you have had treated. This is perfectly normal after having dermal fillers for anti-ageing purposes, and can be soothed with ice and arnica gel.
Any side-effects from dermal filler will subside in a couple of days – Doctor A will be on hand to offer any post-treatment advice.
Expect results to last anything from 3 to 12 months. It really does depend on the area treated as well as your own body’s metabolism of the dermal filler and particular lifestyle choices.
If you smoke or undergo excessive sun exposure, your body may process the HA within the dermal filler sooner than normal and therefore you may need to return earlier than normal for repeat treatments.
