What is dermal filler?
Dermal fillers are small injections of gel, typically made up of hyaluronic acid, that fill in wrinkles or add volume to the area. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally produced in our bodies. It gives our skin the elasticity and plumpness that gives us our youthful appearance
How long will it last?
It depends how your body reacts, and which hyaluronic acid is used, but most dermal fillers will last between 6 and 18 months.
Who is suitable for this kind of treatment?
You must be over the age of 18 to have any injectable treatments, if you look younger than 21 you will be asked for ID. You may not be suitable for this treatment if you;
- Have an active infection such as cold sore or impetigo
- Lupus
- Blood clotting problems
Is there any down time?
Whilst you can usually get back to your normal activities straight away, we recommend avoiding alcohol, smoking and vigorous exercise for at least 24 hours. It is completely normal to experience some redness, bruising, very mild bleeding, swelling and tenderness after the procedure for 2 - 3 days.
