DERMAL FILLERS
The injection of dermal fillers is one of the most commonly performed procedures in cosmetic dermatology practise. Dermal Fillers are injections used to increase volume, create definition and shape or fill out wrinkles in the skin.
How do dermal/facial fillers work?
Most modern non-permanent fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally-occurring substance found in the body which helps hydrate and add volume to your skin. When we’re born, we have huge stocks of HA in our skin, providing the structure and support to keep young skin plump. However, as we age, the natural replacement of HA is reduced so we don’t get the benefits of HA’s moisturising and plumping effects. As such, we begin to see wrinkles and loss of volume.
At Visage, we use temporary Hyaluronic Acid based filler Juvéderm/Teoysal, produced by market leading aesthetic brand, Allergan. By injecting the HA filler below the skin’s surface, the treatment helps to replace the loss of volume and provide structure and support to the skin, which in turn lifts and smooths targeted folds and wrinkles.
During treatment, your practitioner may massage the area injected to ensure that the filler is distributed smoothly and evenly, in order to give the most natural looking results and restore balance across the face.
Treatment time is usually 30 – 45 mins, but may be up to one hour if topical anaesthetic is applied. This helps to make the treatment more comfortable for you.
