Dermal Fillers

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Dermal Fillers?

We only use the most advanced Swedish dermal filler which is made from a Non Animal Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA). It creates volume for the treatment of lips, lines, wrinkles and facial folds. The results are immediate.

How long does it last?

It can last up to one year, depending on the area being treated, the depth of the lines, the condition of the skin and the lifestyle of the individual.

Will friends know I have had treatment ?

Due to the swelling that may occur directly after treatments, people may notice your treatment initially, particularly if your lip area has been treated.

Does the treatment hurt ?

The treatment involves injections into the skin, therefore you may experience some discomfort, however local anaesthetic creams and injections can be used to minimise pain.

What are the side effects?

The side effects of treatment may include swelling, redness and occasional bruising. Swelling is the most likely effect because the product attracts the bodies own water to the area. Other side effects may include minor lumps, itching or tenderness, which usually resolve quickly.

Is it toxic?

It is very safe because it contains no animal proteins, allergens or chemicals

Can I go straight back to work after treatment?

Yes, but for a first treatment it is probably better to schedule you appointment for the end of the day and preferably the end of the week. There may be swelling or bruising.
