Dermal Fillers in Cosmetic Treatments

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are a collagen material that is made up of synthetic, or natural substances and are used to help treat the appearance of wrinkles, creases and folds that are caused due to a result of ageing. Dermal fillers help to fill out the areas that commonly suffer with wrinkles and create a more youthful appearance.

How are dermal fillers done?

The usual process for having dermal filler injections is to speak with your consultant about your medical history, and your background at the initial consultation. The practitioner will guide you through the process of selecting the best dermal filler for your skin type. Sometimes skin tests will be carried out to ensure that you are not allergic to the product. It is worth noting that most dermal fillers are perfectly fine to use without undergoing allergy tests, the test is only recommended in products that contain bovine collagen.

During the treatment numbing cream is applied to the targeted areas around twenty minutes before the procedure commences. This reduces the pain when the dermal filler injections are used. Depending on the type of filler and the area undergoing treatment, different types of injections will be used.

The procedure is fast and effective, and people are able to return to work immediately after treatment.

How often do dermal fillers need to be done?

The frequency of the treatment depends on the type of dermal filler that is used, and also the area that has been treated. Due to these factors it is hard to give an estimate of when they will need to be redone. Ask your consultant if you would like to know this information about this.
