Dermal Fillers
Amplify volume, accentuate innate beauty
A procedure aimed at reinstating equilibrium and improving facial characteristics.
Dermal fillers function to augment the lips, replenish volume in the mid-face, and contribute to refining the inherent contours of the face, providing definition to the jawline.
Process
The key component in dermal fillers, Hyaluronic Acid, is a natural substance present in the skin that aids in retaining moisture, maintaining the fullness of facial tissues, and preserving a youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers are frequently utilized for lip and cheekbone enhancement, as well as shaping facial contours and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Various dermal filler products serve distinct purposes, and the selection is determined during your consultation based on the desired outcome and recommendations from your provider.
The procedure typically takes 15 minutes to an hour, involving the injection of dermal filler into the skin to restore volume and plump soft tissue. Although results are noticeable immediately, this treatment involves a temporary substance that is naturally and gradually absorbed, with effects lasting between 6 and 18 months.

Preparation
Before the treatment, one of our experienced practitioners will engage in a thorough discussion about your skin goals and expectations during the initial consultation. It is crucial to communicate any allergies, neurological disorders, or the use of blood-thinning medication at this time. You might receive instructions to refrain from consuming certain substances before the dermal filler treatment.
We recommend abstaining from alcohol consumption 24 hours before the treatment and arriving with a fresh, clean face. For your comfort, a topical anesthetic or local numbing medication may be applied.
Aftercare
We advise you to steer clear of strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption, exposure to strong heat or extreme cold, and to minimize sun exposure and exercise until the swelling has subsided.
It is also recommended not to massage the treated area once the product has been injected.
