Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers have many uses to help improve the look of the face, hands, neck and decolletage. Both younger and older adults, men and women find the use of dermal fillers can achieve the appearance they desire as the effects of ageing can be reduced as well as creating a more striking appearance. Whatever your needs, Doctor Nyla and her team can expertly advise the type of procedure you will require in order to address your personal concerns. Restoring volume beneath the skin is what dermal fillers does best, whether that is to replace lost collagen or to build upon your natural structure to strengthen the features.

The safety of dermal fillers is supported by being given FDA approval. Doctor Nyla and her team possess expert knowledge and apply this injectable treatment with safety and precision in mind. An unsatisfactory result is not something that is experienced at Doctor Nyla’s clinics, however if you do not achieve your expected outcome, the product can easily be dissolved.

Some minor discomfort may be experienced both during the procedure and for a short while afterwards. Dermal fillers can be administered following the application of a topical numbing cream (20 – 30 minutes before the treatment), however some products will contain a mild anaesthetic. A fine needle is used to minimise any discomfort, with any lasting tenderness settling within a matter of hours.

Redness, swelling and bruising are normal effects that are to be expected immediately following the treatment. These effects are usually very minor and will have subsided in around 24 hours. Small bruises that appear where the injections were administered in the skin, can be covered with concealing make-up if the patient wishes. During the consultation session, any other potential side effects will be outlined, reducing their risk by sharing your medical history.

The treated area will need to be left to settle following the treatment, being careful not touch or apply unnecessary pressure. For the first 6 hours, the area will need to be kept dry and you will need to avoid extremes of heat and cold.

The results can often be seen very quickly after the procedure and are found to last for up to 6 months. Your practitioner will be able to put a long-term treatment plan in place, which will enable the outcome to be maintained for as long as you desire.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance that is produced by the body. Hyaluronic transfers essential nutrients from the bloodstream to the skin cells, while bringing in hydration and adding volume to the skin.

Once the HA gel is injected, it supports the facial structures and tissues that may have lost elasticity or volume. It helps to bring water to the surface of the skin, keeping the skin supple and fresh-looking.

Tear trough fillers are used to smooth and minimise the appearance of under-eye bags and hollows, resulting in a fresh and bright appearance around the eyes.

Sunken cheeks can give a skeletal appearance and as we get older this is more common. Dermal cheek fillers are an injectable that is injected into your cheek muscles. The solution is designed to fill out your face and act as a plumping mechanism that is responsible for youthful-looking cheeks.

Results are visible straight away, however, swelling will subside after a few hours and it will take a few days for the product to settle.
