Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are used in volume replacement in positive ageing.

Dermal fillers can enhance or balance facial features, resulting in a more beautiful look.

Dermal fillers can stimulate collagen and improve skin quality.

Dermal Fillers are suitable for:

Age-related volume loss or rapid weight loss resulting in a 'sunken' or 'hollow' look

Lifting of laugh lines and jowls

Lip definition and volumisation

Enhancing cheek, chin and jawline definition

Correcting asymmetry

Texture improvement: Filling of fine lines, wrinkles, eye bags, tear trough, Indian lines and atrophic acne scars

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a substance that is naturally produced by our bodies to provide hydration and support to the skin. HA fillers use crosslinked HA to create a gel matrix for reshaping the face.

What are HA fillers?

HA Fillers vs Semi-Permanent Fillers

What are Semi-Permanent fillers?

Semi-Permanent fillers use non-HA particles to create volume and reshape the face. Different products have different properties and afford various benefits.

What to expect?

Consultation

During the consultation, our doctor will formulate a treatment plan that addresses your concerns holistically. This may include a combination of fillers and energy based devices or skin boosters. (See: Synergistic Therapy below)

Preparation

Prior to injection, our doctor will confirm the treatment plan and mark out the areas, followed by topical numbing cream.

During the Procedure

There may be some discomfort from the injection but it is generally well-tolerated as the filler itself contains local anaesthetic. We use a combination of direct injection and micro-cannula to optimise the aesthetic outcome and minimise the risk of filler-related adverse effects.

Post-Procedure

You are advised not to massage or rub the area for 48 hours. There is no downtime and you may resume daily activities. There may be temporary swelling or bruising around the treated area, although this is rare. If this occurs, you may apply a cool ice pack at home to speed up recovery.
