Facial Fillers
As we age, the muscles in our face start to decrease in volume and the skin begins to look less firm.
It’s a fact that we can’t look young forever and that wrinkles will eventually appear, but there are some things we can do to slow down the process and still have a natural look. That’s where facial fillers come in. Besides treating wrinkles, facial fillers can make parts of the face look fuller and also help to diminish unsymmetrical facial expression.
Facial fillers are usually used for the following:
- Dark and sunken area under the eyes
- Reshaping of the nose
- Asymmetric correction
- Plumping of the face and neck
- Cheeks
- Naso-labial lines

As with wrinkle relaxers, minor temporary side effects from injections can occur and last sevel days such as welling, bruising, redness – use mild analgesics if needed, and light, intermittent ice application for swelling.
Results may not be immediate and can be distorted by use of local anaesthetic or swelling. Results will improve in the days/weeks following treatment.

The most common side effects occur within 24 hours or immediately post treatment. These include: swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness. Immediate side effects usually disappear within days. However, depending on the type of dermal filler used, it can take a few weeks. All our injectors are available for follow-up consultations if you have any concerns.
Dermal fillers can last up to three to six months and in some cases longer. Lips are a high activity area as we use them all the time, this can impact how long the results will last. Please speak to your Cosmetic Injector about this.
To determine the correct dosage you need to book in for a consultation with one of our Cosmetic Injectors.
Avoid vigorous physical activity or any large intakes of alcohol for 24 hours as this increases the risk of bruising. Aspirin and Vitamin E should not be taken one week before the treatment.
The level of pain varies with each person, however we use medical grade numbing cream and dental blocks where needed to avoid any pain being felt. You may experience a little pressure or pain during and after the treatment.
