Introduction to Dermal Fillers
Each individual has their own concept of beauty and their own unique aesthetic goals. Smooth and healthy-looking skin boosts our confidence. Dermal fillers are a type of aesthetic treatment we can use to achieve a wide range of different effects such as these across the face on all kinds of skin types.
They are commonly used to address the signs of skin ageing in three categories: fill (reduce facial lines and wrinkles); volumise (add volume to the cheeks, chin, and lips); and lift (enhance and maintain facial shapes and contours). Are you considering undergoing dermal filler treatments? You can find out more by speaking to a doctor regarding available treatments.
Dermal fillers can improve skin texture, skin hydration, and other signs of ageing, leaving you with radiant skin that appears more youthful. By penetrating deep into epidermal layers, they can act on collagen in skin cells and infuse them with moisture, for younger-looking skin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a top-up treatment?
Top-up treatment is necessary to maintain the results achieved in the initial treatment, as most dermal fillers are not permanent. Depending on the injection area and the time gaps between treatments, lower volumes of filler may be used in top-up treatments.
What should I apply or avoid after the treatment?
• Avoid applying make-up to the skin immediately after treatment.
• Light cover up may be used to conceal any remaining redness after approximately 24 hours.
• A yellow-toned concealer may be used to hide signs of bruising.
• In order to cover up any redness, a concealer with a slight green/yellow tone is recommended.
What are the possible side effects?
The most common side effects include treatment site reactions such as swelling, bruising, redness, pain and tenderness. These side effects generally disappear within one week after injection. Other potential side effects can occur with dermal filler injections. You should discuss the potential treatment risks with your healthcare practitioner.
