Dermal Fillers Treatments

An extremely fine needle is used to inject. We will numb the area using a local anaesthetic cream. The procedure usually lasts between 30 – 60 minutes depending on the area being treated.

Dermal fillers are well known for delivering outstanding results. Results from dermal fillers begin to show immediately after treatment and can last up to 6-9 months.

After treatment, slight redness, swelling, itching and some tenderness at the site of injection may occur. This is normal and will generally disappear over the next 7-14 days.

• Keep well hydrated (2 – 3 litres of water) for the next 3 days.
• Avoid alcohol 24 hours after treatment.
• Apply some ice to the area if tender / swollen such as an ice pack (no more than 15 minutes) 
• Avoid strenuous exercise and heat treatments for 48 hrs.
• Avoid creams with alpha hydroxy acid or glycolic acid around the area.
• Avoid direct sunlight and wear a high spf sunscreen to prolong the duration of the filler.
• If you suffer from cold sores, there is a risk of activating them.
• If taking aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin or any other blood-thinning medications you should be aware that there will be an increased likelihood of bleeding or bruising at the injection site(s).
• If itching or swelling occurs, a general over-the-counter antihistamine can be taken for a period of one week.
• Arnica cream/capsules can be taken to help prevent bruising.
• Keep the area sterile.
• Alcohol, smoking and sunshine will reduce the life of the filler.
