Frequently asked Questions About Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers work by restoring volume and fullness to areas of the face that have lost collagen and elastin over time. The filler is injected into the skin, where it temporarily plumps up the treated area, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines or adding volume to areas such as the cheeks and lips. Different types of dermal fillers are used depending on the area and desired effect.

Dermal fillers typically last between 18-22 months, depending on the type of filler and treatment area.

Common areas include cheeks, lips, jawline, chin, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, under-eye hollows, and temples.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Numbing agents are often applied to ensure the treatment is as painless as possible.

It usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks for dermal fillers to fully settle into the skin. During this time, any minor swelling or redness should subside, and the filler will integrate with your skin, giving you a smooth and natural-looking result. However, most patients see immediate results after the treatment.

It is recommended to avoid vigorous exercise or heavy physical activity for at least 24 to 48 hours after receiving dermal fillers. This helps to prevent swelling and bruising and allows the filler to settle properly. Light activities such as walking are typically fine, but intense workouts should be avoided for a short period.

Treatments are usually recommended every 18-22 months, depending on how your body metabolises the filler.
