Cosmetic Dermal Fillers

Cosmetic dermal fillers are clear gels that are injected into the skin to add volume to skin in the facial area which in turn smoothes out lines and wrinkles while enhancing the lip line.

The most popular and modern dermal fillers are synthetic. These are comprised of a modified and purified form of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance in the body that gives skin a much fuller texture and allows it to retain water. Using this natural substance means the cosmetic dermal fillers used are less likely to produce any allergies or side effects.

The treatments consist of careful injections of the gel to the required areas of the face; this can produce some discomfort so simple anaesthetics are used to reduce this. The procedure is non-surgical and very quick, taking around 30-60 minutes depending on the requirements necessary. Repeat treatments are normally required every 6 months to a year, though you will be advised of this before treatment begins.

There may be some swelling and tenderness of the treated areas following the procedure, along with some redness, but this will subside fairly quickly. Being such a simple procedure you can return to your normal daily routine as soon as the treatment is complete.

There are many different Dermal Fillers on the market today and each has its own properties and advantages, though Restylane is one of the market leaders and provides very impressive and favourable results, with much praise from the industry.
