What are the benefits of filler treatments?

 

The main benefit of filler treatment, compared to surgery, is that you will continue to age naturally and not be left with an appearance that is frozen in time. Additional benefits include:

• Quick procedure with minimum downtime

• Immediate results with no scars

• Treatments can be reversed

​

How are they applied?

​

Your fillers will be administered by a trained medical practitioner and are injected in the appropriate area around the face using various techniques.

​

What happens during the treatment?

​​

Administration takes around 30-45 minutes. For some areas, a topical anaesthetic is applied 30 minutes prior to treatment. Your medical practitioner will assess your face and decide on the appropriate treatment plan for you after discussing your thoughts and what is important to you. The dermal fillers are administered through several injections. You will usually feel the initial injection, but the procedure should not be painful as the fillers we use contain lidocaine. You will be able to return to work or your day to day activities immediately.

​​

Are there any side effects?

​​

Most common side effect is slight bruising and swelling from the injection site.

A detailed list of other side effects will be provided by your practitioner during your consultation. Side effects tend to be temporary and mild to moderate.

​​

When can you see the results?

​​

Dermal fillers work instantly. After your treatment, the area should be left alone to settle.

​​

How long does it last?

​​

They can last for between 6-18 months depending on the product used, placement, the depth within the skin and other factors including extremes of temperature and metabolism.
