What are dermal fillers used for?
Dermal fillers are used to “fill in” permanent facial groves or lines. Permanent or passive lines are those which are present when the face is at rest in contrast to active lines which are caused by facial expressions. Active lines are best treated by anti-wrinkle injections. The dermal filler used is a crystal clear gel form of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid holds water, hydrating the skin and adding volume to the skin. The aging process results in a loss of natural hyaluronic acid production and the dermal filler replaces some of the loss, resulting in the smoothing out of lines and wrinkles and the creation of fuller lips.
Which areas should be treated?
These are used to enhance the face by filling in grooves such as wrinkles, facial lines especially around the mouth and “smokers’ lines” above and below the lips. They are also used to give you fuller lips and to define facial contours. You can also fill in the groove that runs from the side of your nose to the corner of your lips.
What is involved in this procedure?
The procedure is quick, safe and does not require time off work and can be done at the patients’ convenience. A local anaesthetic or topical numbing cream is used before the procedure and the changes are immediately obvious at the end of the procedure. The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes. The results of this procedure last up to 12 months.
