How do dermal fillers work?

Dermal fillers, sometimes referred to as ‘wrinkle fillers’ or ‘injectable fillers’ are injections with a wide range of cosmetic use. The filler is completely compatible with the human body as it is made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance occurring in the body which is responsible for lubricating joints and skin tissue.

The dermal filler injection is designed to restore volume to areas of the face where it has been lost due to ageing. The fillers replenish the natural collagen and hyaluronic acid in your skin, replacing volume and plumping out wrinkles, making them an ideal procedure for treating cheeks and lips.

Where can dermal fillers be used?

  • Cheek & chin

    Fillers are designed to restore volume in the cheeks, cheekbones and chin that is lost with ageing, and return these areas to a higher position. This leaves the cheek area looking fuller, smoother and naturally more youthful. Augmentation of the chin is also necessary to improve facial profile in the ageing face.

  • Lip fillers

    To enhance lip definition we use dermal fillers to restore plumpness and create beautifully shaped lips. Even older patients have a subtle enhancement to the lips as they look more balanced if the rest of the face has been treated. We can specifically target many areas of the lip, including upper and lower lip, marionette lines and the ‘cupid’s bow’ (the V-shaped area of the upper lip).

    By targeting the problem areas of the lip that are specific to the patient, Dr Pradnya can create a very natural and subtle look that can make thin lips appear fuller, help reverse drooping corners of the mouth and create a more defined shape. We pride ourselves at Skin Southwest by offering pain-free lip injections. Dr Pradnya has carried out hundreds of lip augmentation procedures and has a canny ability to create a natural enhancement so your lips will look beautiful and not overdone, with no ‘duck lip’.

    Tear Trough

    Tear trough fillers involve injecting dermal fillers into the under-eye area to address hollows/dark circles, or deep lines under the eyes. The treatment will help the area appear smoother and more volumised, reducing the appearance of dark circles and sunken eyes.

FAQs

Small quantities of filler are injected into the areas where you have wrinkles, furrows or loss of volume. Our practitioners often use a micro-cannula to administer the filler. By using a cannula our patients benefit from less pain, less bruising, less swelling, less risk of complications and a smooth, natural-looking result.

The effects of a dermal filler treatment are immediate but you may experience a small amount of swelling and/or bruising which may take a few days to subside.

As long as they are administered by a trained aesthetic practitioner who is experienced in the anatomy of the face, dermal fillers should be safe. The hyaluronic acid gel is completely natural and over time is broken down and assimilated back into the body causing no harm to you. At Skin Southwest, your dermal filler treatment will only be administered by one of our practitioners using the latest minimally invasive techniques.

At Skin Southwest, we use Juvederm, Perfectha and Restylane dermal fillers due to their high safety record, quality and long lasting results. These are FDA-approved and temporary – this means your body should break them down over 6-12 months, so in the unlikely event you are not satisfied with the results, they are not permanent. These dermal fillers are well tolerated by most people because they are made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in our body responsible for lubricating the skin and joints.

All non-invasive procedures carry a small amount of risk which is why they are only administered after a face to face consultation with Dr Pradnya. A full assessment will be carried out and a full list of cautions and contraindications discussed.

No, there are several other treatments that may be more suitable for your skin concern including wrinkle reducing injections and Ellanse. Before you undergo any injectable treatment you will be invited for a consultation with one of our practitioners who will analyse your skin and help you decide which treatment option is most suitable.

At our clinic we believe in replacing lost volume, not adding volume that wasn’t there in the first place. You will leave the clinic looking refreshed and rejuvenated, not artificially puffed-up like some celebrities! We also use temporary fillers, so in the unlikely event you are not satisfied with the results, they are not permanent.

On average, dermal fillers last from 9-12 months before a top up treatment will be needed to maintain your results. The results do vary from patient to patient. One of the advantages of dermal fillers is that they are non-permanent, so you don’t look frozen and the amount of filler used can be adjusted as you naturally age.

We only use dermal fillers that have a high safety record such as Restylane, Maili and Teoxane.
