Common questions:
​
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to fill in wrinkles, add volume, and contour the face. They're typically made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, or other biocompatible materials.
​
How long do they last?
The duration varies depending on factors like the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual metabolism. Generally, hyaluronic acid fillers last around 6 to 18 months, while others may last longer. Touch-up treatments are usually required to maintain results.
​
Are they safe?
When performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner, dermal filler treatments are generally safe. However, like any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, such as bruising, swelling, infection, or allergic reactions. It's crucial to discuss any concerns before undergoing treatment.
​
Is there downtime after getting dermal fillers?
Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment, but some may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days.
​
Are they painful?
Discomfort during the procedure is usually minimal, as most fillers contain a numbing agent like lidocaine. Some people may experience mild discomfort or temporary bruising afterward. Topical numbing creams or ice packs can be used to minimise it.
​
Who is a good candidate?
Good candidates for dermal fillers are generally in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. They should also have specific concerns that can be addressed with fillers, such as wrinkles, volume loss, or asymmetry.
