FAQs

What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are an injectable aesthetic treatment made of a naturally occurring substance in the body, hyaluronic acid. These sugars promote skin laxity, firmness, and volume, so dermal filler injections can reintroduce these characteristics of youthful skin naturally and effectively.

Are dermal fillers safe?
Because dermal fillers are made of this naturally occurring sugar, the body accepts the injections with nothing more than a little swelling and bruising. Because dermal fillers use this naturally occurring sugars, they are naturally broken down by the body too. Your system recycles the sugars as they break down, making them a very safe and relatively simple treatment.

When will I see my results?
You will see results almost immediately, though your optimum results will develop and be reached up to 3 days after treatment. You can expect to see them for up to 6 months before a repeat appointment is required to maintain them.

Are there any side effects?
You may encounter some swelling and minor bruising at the points of injection, but this is completely normal and should subside within 3 days of treatment. The treatment area may feel hot, a little irritated, and throb slightly, but again this is normal and should not be painful. We will explain all of this at your free initial consultation, and should you need any aftercare support we are of course happy to oblige.
