The longevity of dermal fillers ranges from 6-12 months depending on the brand, thickness, skin type and area treated. Dermal fillers come in varying viscosities and thicknesses to ensure there is an appropriate product to suit all facial areas and personal preference.
  • How much does Dermal Filler cost?
    The costs for dermal fillers depends on the number and extent of areas that need treatment, and the amount of fillers that is required to have effect in that area. While it is common practice to inject 1mL of filler into each part of the face (e.g., lips), often we advise using 1mL of filler for multiple areas on the face rather than just one area. This allows for a more balanced approach to filling the face. Sometimes it is possible (and preferable) to use smaller amounts, this allows us to achieve better results without overfilling the face
  • What are the side effects?
    Swelling at the injection site is normal. This is generally more severe on the lips. Bruising is normal, which can take several days to subside. During the consultation, an assessment of any risk factors will be completed before the treatment goes ahead as all cosmetic treatments carry risks allowing you to make an informed decision about whether or not you wish to proceed with the discussed treatment plan.
  • Leading up to your appointment
    Whilst we encourage you to have your Covid 19 booster, please be aware that we cannot treat you if you have received this 2 weeks prior to your treatment and you must wait a further 2 weeks after your treatment for boosters. In the week leading up to your appointment, you should avoid taking ibuprofen and aspirin (you can take paracetamol if needed), vitamin E and fish oil supplements as they can exacerbate bruising and bleeding.
  • Can men have dermal fillers?
    YES! Men are often seeking to definition their chin and jawline, soften nasolabial folds, and address volume loss in the lower cheeks. Dermal filler is a powerful tool to rejuvenate without surgery. When it comes to filler, the tear troughs (under eye area) is a popular place for men to treat. Everyone – men and women – lose volume as we age, but the heavier quality of the skin of men and the bone structure of the face in this area make volume loss more obvious. A small amount of filler can help to eliminate the shadows and make men look better rested.
