Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to enhance facial features and minimize the visible signs of aging. Most dermal fillers have a gel-like consistency and are  primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps maintain hydration and volume.

Expertly injected beneath the skin’s surface, dermal fillers can restore lost volume, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contours, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

The visible effects of dermal filler are:

  • Volume restoration – Loss of facial volume is a common aging concern and Dr Gill can use dermal fillers to improve areas like the temple, cheeks, lips, jaw line and chin to restore a more youthful appearance.
  • Reducing wrinkles – by filling in the lines and wrinkles for example the fine lines around the lips and side of the eye can be treated with dermal filler.
  • Lip enhancement – Dr Gill can skilfully enhance the volume and shape of your lip to create natural lips which blend with your facial features.
  • Under eye rejuvenation – dermal filler can alleviate the hollow and sunken appearance of the under eyes, to make you look less tired and refreshed.

How do they work?

Dermal fillers work by injecting to add volume to specific areas through precise injections. These can help to plump the skin, reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and are relatively quick and painless. The results are immediate and there is usually very little down time associated with having these done.

Dermal filler can be ideal for someone who is seeking to address specific concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles and loss of facial volume.

They can be used for example to the cheeks to give a more contoured appearance of in the hollowing under the eyes to make you look less tired. They can be added to most areas of the face to address specific concerns, like changing the shape of the nose, to having a more lifted and youthful appearance and enhancing your natural features.

Results from Dermal fillers are instant and the full effects become apparent after a week or so once the initial swelling has subsided.

Usually, the number of sessions needed varies on the individual needs and which filler is used. Patients will notice a great result after one session and follow up appointments can give lasting effects. Dr Gill believes it is better to enhance with fillers gradually building on the results over time, rather than putting too much filler in one sitting. Most fillers last for 12-24 months.

Dermal fillers are generally very safe but like with any cosmetic procedures there can be some mild and temporary side effects. These can be redness, bruising, swelling and tenderness at the site of the injection. Rare but severe complications like a vascular occlusion can happen, but it is important to consult a qualified and experienced practioner to minimise these risks occurring.
