About Dermal Filler

How does Dermal Filler work?

Collagen and elastin levels decline with age, leading to decreased skin elasticity. Facial fat pads shrink, bones remodel, and facial volume is lost, resulting in sagging skin and wrinkles. Dermal fillers restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and rejuvenate the face with minimal downtime.

How long will it last?

The duration of dermal fillers varies between 6-12 months based on brand, thickness, skin type, and treatment area. Biological factors affecting metabolism can impact filler longevity. Dermal fillers offer different viscosities and thicknesses to cater to various facial regions and preferences.

What is involved?

The treatment starts with a consultation and thorough discussion of your specific needs and concerns, to identify the most effective results. 

Upon discussing filler type, injection sites, quantity, and expected outcomes, skin is disinfected and local anesthesia used for comfort. Dermal fillers are injected into the dermis for volume and definition. Treatment time is approximately 45 minutes, with expected bruising and swelling.

How much does it cost?

Due to the varying products and areas the dermal filler are used on prices generally start from $450 for 1ml.

What are the side effects?

Swelling at the injection site is expected. This is typically worse with lip injections. Bruising is common and may take a few days to fade. Side effects vary based on filler type and technique used.

Prior to treatment, a consultation is conducted to assess any risk factors, as all cosmetic procedures come with potential risks.

This allows for an informed decision on proceeding with the treatment plan.

How long does each treatment take?

Depending on the treatment plan devised and the client's comfortability during the treatment we usually allow 45-60 min per treatment.

When will I see results?

Results appear almost immediately and will be evident right away, allowing you to return to your regular daily routine promptly after treatment.
