Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a popular form of injectable procedure that can be used to simply and effectively treat a range of moderate facial creases, lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers can also be used as a lip filler to restore lost volume and define the lips.

Facial filler and lip filler treatments are quick, minimally invasive and have very little downtime. The results are visible immediately after treatment and will generally last for around six months.

As well as the face, dermal fillers may also be to rejuvenate the décolleté and hands.

FAQ

  • What are dermal fillers?

    Dermal fillers (or face and lip fillers as they are sometimes known) are injectable substances which are used to add volume and definition to localised areas of the face, and/or fill lines and wrinkles.

    Most dermal fillers contain an injectable form of hyaluronic acid which occurs in the body naturally, depleting as we age. By restoring volume, facial fillers work to plump and smooth contouring deficiencies and soften lines and wrinkles.

    Offering long-lasting, yet non-permanent results, dermal fillers are broken down by the body over time.

  • What brand of dermal filler products do you use?

    Coppergate Clinic practitioners only use dermal filler products which are licensed and FDA approved. We are proud to use Juvederm, Vycross and Belotero for the majority of our dermal filler procedures, along with specialist dermal fillers Teosyal Redensity for undereye bags & tear trough correction procedures and Radiesse facial filler to achieve targeted facial volume.

    The dermal filler products used at Coppergate Clinic are amongst the most scientifically documented in the world, with comprehensive studies that support their safety and efficacy.

  • How is the treatment carried out?

    A detailed, obligation-free consultation with your medical practitioner is essential prior to undergoing any advanced aesthetic procedure. During the consultation, your aesthetic doctor or nurse will discuss your area/s of concern, desired improvements, options available (including no treatment at all) and expected outcomes. Your practitioner will examine you and may take some photographs for your medical records.

    Should dermal fillers be agreed upon as the most suitable treatment, the skin will be thoroughly cleansed and, if required, the treatment area will be anaesthetised using either an appropriate topical anaesthetic (numbing cream) or a dental nerve block to ensure discomfort is minimal. Once the treatment area is anaesthetised, the facial filler or lip filler will be injected under the surface of the skin using an ultra-fine needle, before being gently massaged. The treatment itself usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes, with an additional 30 minutes allowed before the treatment for the anaesthetic to take effect.

  • What results should I expect?

    The results of a dermal filler treatment are visible instantly after treatment. Wrinkles and folds at the facial filler treatment site will appear reduced. In the case of lip fillers for lip enhancement, the lips will be defined and plumper, with fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area also smoothed. By restoring lost volume your skin will look smoother and softer.

  • How does the treatment feel?

    If required, the treatment area is numbed prior to treatment. Since the needle used to inject the dermal fillers is also ultra-fine, most people find the treatment is only mildly uncomfortable, with many clients reporting barely feeling the injections.

  • Is there any downtime?

    All aesthetic procedures are associated with some degree of risk. Your medical practitioner will explain these in detail during initial consultation, enabling you to reach an informed decision on whether you wish to proceed. Immediately after treatment there may be some redness, tenderness or numbness, itching or bruising. This is a normal result of the injection and generally disappears after a few days. You might wish to gently apply ice or a cold compress to the injection area after treatment to help to reduce swelling.

    Following lip treatment, swelling may last longer- up to about a week. During this time the lips may look uneven, therefore the result directly after treatment should not be viewed as the final result.

    Thorough cleansing of the skin prior to treatment and careful placement of each of the injections helps us to ensure these risks are as minimal as possible.
