Frequently Asked Questions
Prescription only medicine professionally administered for 18 years and over. Dermal fillers are materials injected under the skin, aimed to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles or lines, and can also be used to enhance facial contours by adding volume to cheeks and lips and to improve the appearance of scars.
Dermal fillers contain special molecules that attract water. When injected into the body, these molecules begin to soak up water like a sponge and plump up the area. Due to legislation and regulations governing the advertising of therapeutic goods, product information such as the brand name and substances cannot be advertised. This information is only available if you ask.
The vast majority of fillers are absorbable. Thus, they offer temporary results that last from months to a couple of years, depending on the product and the person.
As with any cosmetic medical treatment, occasional risks and side effects can occur. It is important to understand risks and possible complications prior to consenting to treatment. These can include some but not all, pain, bruising, swelling, redness at injection site, migration, reactivation of herpes, granuloma formation, allergic reactions, infection and vascular occlusion. If you experience any of these unwanted side effects you should contact us straight away. Although uncommon – these side effects can occur and will be discussed at your consultation.
Whilst most patients observe some results immediately, with final appearance visible after two to four weeks, no guarantee of results can be given. Outcomes vary between each individual patient with no guarantee that results will be the same.
