What Does Filler Treatment Involve?
The area is cleaned with an anti-septic solution.
Numbing cream is applied to anaesthetise the skin.
Either a needle or cannula technique will be used to inject dermal filler under the skin.
Aftercare is applied to reduce inflammation.
Results are noticeable immediately.
It is important to note that the treatment will vary depending on the area being treated and the individual. It typically takes between 30 minutes and an hour. Sometimes it may be appropriate to build-up an area over several appointments with time in between to let things settle.
What Are The Side-Effects of Filler?
Mild swelling will occur initially but will calm down after 48 hours and settle completely by 2 weeks.
Vascular occlusions, infection or scarring are very unlikely but can occur.
Trusting a professional will reduce the risk and likelihood of these side-effects.
Aftercare
Avoid alcohol consumption for 24-48 hours as this increases your chance of bruising.
Avoid strenuous activity, saunas/steam rooms which may promote sweating as this also increases your risk of bruising.
Do not apply excessive pressure to the filler for the first 24-48 hours.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The effects of fillers usually last between 12-18 months; however, lifestyle factors such as physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, recreational drug use and sun exposure will result in a shorter duration of action.
The body naturally breaks the hyaluronic acid in fillers down into carbon dioxide or water. Equally, hyalase injections can dissolve filler at any time if you are unhappy with the results.
