Dermal fillers are a versatile cosmetic solution designed to address a range of aesthetic concerns. Primarily used for facial rejuvenation, they aim to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the nose and mouth. Fillers may also restore volume to hollow areas, such as the cheeks and under the eyes, to provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Additionally, they can be used to enhance and contour facial features, like augmenting the lips or defining the jawline.   

After receiving dermal fillers, it's important to follow specific aftercare instructions to minimise potential side effects. Common recommendations include avoiding strenuous physical activities and exposure to high heat for a couple of days post-treatment. This may help reduce swelling and prevent the filler from shifting. It's also advised to avoid touching or massaging the treated area to allow the filler to settle properly. Get in touch with our clinicians for more information.

Dermal fillers may have some side effects, which are usually mild and temporary. Common side effects include swelling, redness and bruising at the injection site. Less common side effects might include temporary numbness or discomfort. Severe side effects are rare but may occur, so it's crucial to discuss all potential risks with your clinician before undergoing the treatment.

The duration of a dermal filler treatment can vary depending on the areas being treated and the amount of filler used. Typically, a session takes 15 to 30 minutes. The quick nature of the procedure makes it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. Contact us to discuss your needs with our clinicians. 

It's advisable to avoid medications and supplements that can thin the blood for about a week before the procedure. Alcohol should also be avoided for at least 24 hours prior. It's important to disclose your full medical history, including any medications or supplements you're taking, during the pre-treatment consultation with your clinician.

Cosmetic injectable treatments are generally not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The lack of extensive research on the effects of these treatments on pregnant or breastfeeding women means that caution is the best approach. Always discuss your circumstances with a healthcare professional before considering any cosmetic treatments during these periods.

Preparation for dermal filler treatment involves several steps. It's recommended to stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy skincare routine leading up to the appointment. It's beneficial to have clear communication with your clinician about your aesthetic goals and any concerns you might have. This can help create a treatment plan that aligns with your expectations.

Cosmetic injectables are increasingly popular among men, reflecting a broader trend of men taking an active interest in their appearance and skincare. Treatments for men are tailored to maintain masculine features while addressing concerns such as wrinkles, loss of facial volume or enhancing jawline definition. The aim is to achieve a natural, refreshed look that aligns with each individual's aesthetic goals.
