What are dermal fillers and what treatments, and results can they be used for?

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment that add volume to an area in order to enhance the overall appearance and/or replenish volume from areas where it is lost, this could be either from significant rapid weight loss or from ageing. Dermal fillers are also great at reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines. This involves the careful placement of Hyaluronic Acid gels using either a needle or cannula. This Hyaluronic Acid gel adds volume and boosts (and closely resembles) the body’s own supply of this natural substance but doesn’t involve the use of animal products.

It’s possible to have these fillers in most areas of the face, some of the most popular being the cheeks, chin, lips, and tear trough. The Hyaluronic Acid Dermal fillers can help boost collagen and elastin, both of which the production of starts to slow down from our twenties! They do not yield permanent results; however, typically their effects will last for between six and 18 months.

Don’t confuse dermal fillers with Botox treatments, which are a different procedure entirely. Botox temporarily stops the treatment muscle from working, which lead to a softening in the lines and wrinkles, while dermal fillers plump from below the surface to smooth lines out and help create a more youthful appearance, for example with fuller lips.

As well as this, dermal fillers help to contour the face, giving definition to your features. This can ultimately boost your self-esteem with just a few simple injections.

Because everyone ages differently, and at different rates, it’s vital to receive treatment from a qualified professional with specific expertise and an eye for the art of aesthetic injectables. Going to an experienced medical practitioner will ensure safety and the best possible results. Most standard beauty salons, for example, are not experienced to provide these procedures or qualified to deal with any adverse reactions, should they occur.

Common uses of dermal fillers

The most common areas to be treated include:

  • Cheek filler:

    This can help define cheek bones and plump areas where some fat may have been lost due to ageing or weight loss

  • Nose filler:

    This can help achieve a smoother appearance, lifted tip and straighter profile for your nose

  • Chin and jawline fillers:

    To define, adjust and shape the profile of your face

  • Smokers’ lines:

    These are the lines that can form around the mouth in smokers but also can be present in non-smokers too! Filler can help soften these

  • Lips and Philtrum column:

    To enhance the volume and shape

  • Nose-to-mouth lines:

    These are also known as the nasolabial folds

  • Marionette lines:

    These are the ones each side of your mouth that some find give them a ‘sad’ appearance

  • Under the eye hollows:

    The ‘Tear Troughs’ can often become deeper due to the ageing process and fat loss.

In short, dermal fillers are versatile, safe, non-invasive and highly effective – so it’s no wonder why they’re so popular.
