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.
Common questions:
​​​
What is microsclerotherapy?
Microsclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment used to treat spider veins and small varicose veins by injecting a solution that causes the veins to collapse and fade.
How does microsclerotherapy work?
It works by injecting a sclerosing solution into the affected veins, which irritates the vein lining, causing the vein to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body.
​
What can be treated with microsclerotherapy?
It is primarily used to treat spider veins, small varicose veins, and other superficial venous issues.
​
Is microsclerotherapy safe?
Yes, it is generally considered safe when performed by a trained professional. However, individual reactions and potential side effects may vary.
​
What is the process of a microsclerotherapy treatment?
The procedure involves injecting a sclerosing solution directly into the targeted veins. The treatment typically lasts 15-30 minutes, depending on the number and size of veins treated.
​
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
There is usually no significant downtime. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur at the injection site, but it resolves quickly. Patients are often advised to wear compression stockings for a few days after treatment.
​
How many sessions are needed to see results?
Multiple sessions may be required, especially for larger areas or multiple veins. The number of sessions varies, but most patients need about 1-3 sessions for optimal results.
​
How soon will I see results from microsclerotherapy?
You may start to see improvements within a few weeks, but full results can take 3-6 weeks or longer to fully manifest.
​
What kind of results can I expect?
The treated veins will gradually fade and become less visible, resulting in smoother skin and improved appearance. For most people, veins do not return, but new ones can form over time.
​
What are the potential side effects of microsclerotherapy?
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or itching at the injection site. In rare cases, more serious complications like blood clots or allergic reactions may occur.
