Dermal Fillers Overview

Dermal fillers are treatments that help to smooth out wrinkles and add volume to the face, particularly around the mouth, eyes, and cheeks. They consist of substances like hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the body and aids in skin hydration and plumping. The benefits of dermal fillers include immediate results; you can see the changes right after the procedure. They require minimal downtime, allowing you to continue with your daily activities almost instantly. The effects of dermal fillers can last from six months to over a year, depending on the type used and the treatment area. They are versatile and useful for reducing wrinkles and enhancing features like lips and cheeks for a fuller, more youthful appearance. Since the results are not permanent—because the body eventually absorbs the fillers—they offer flexibility if you choose not to continue with treatments. This makes dermal fillers a popular, non-surgical option for those looking to enhance their facial features and combat the signs of ageing.

Dermal Fillers Results

Dermal fillers work fast to make wrinkles less noticeable and to plump up areas like cheeks and lips for a fuller, smoother look. You can see these changes right away after getting the treatment, and they make you look younger. The effects usually last between six months and a year, depending on the type of filler used. Since the body slowly absorbs the fillers, the results gradually fade, so they aren’t permanent.

Duration of the treatment

The procedure to apply dermal fillers is usually quick, typically taking about 30 minutes to an hour. This duration can vary slightly depending on how many areas you’re treating and the complexity of the specific areas, such as the lips or cheeks.

Who is best suited for Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are especially suitable for adults who are looking to smooth out deep lines and wrinkles, restore volume to sagging skin, or enhance facial contours like cheeks and lips for a more youthful appearance. They are a popular choice for those who prefer a non-surgical option that provides immediate results with minimal downtime. While fillers are effective for many, they are not suitable for everyone. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid these treatments, as should individuals with certain medical conditions like autoimmune diseases or those currently experiencing skin infections near the desired treatment areas. Before deciding on dermal fillers, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure they align with your health status and aesthetic goals. This step helps tailor the treatment to your specific needs, maximizing safety and effectiveness.

Aftercare

For the first 24-48 hours, avoid touching or massaging the treated areas to prevent the filler from shifting. Apply ice packs to minimise swelling and bruising, and sleep with your head elevated for the first night. Avoid excessive heat such as hot tubs, saunas, or intense exercise for 48 hours to prevent further swelling. Swelling or bruising may persist for up to a week, and any lumps or irregularities usually settle within a few days.

FAQ’s

How Much does fillers cost?

Syringes of filler can start from £*** depending on the type and volume that is needed which will be discussed at your initial consultation.

How does Fillers work?

Throughout the ageing process we lose some of the skin’s ‘building blocks’ such as collagen and fat, which are the materials that prevent to skin becoming loose and saggy, allowing fine lines and wrinkles to appear. As we age, our skin becomes thinner and more visible lines and wrinkles start to appear. The facial bones and fat pads begin to shrink accelerating the creation of folds and deep wrinkles.The dermal filler acts as a replacement for the lost fat and helps to restore our skin to its former youthful appearance.
The material is carefully injected into different layers of the skin depending on the type of filler selected and the patient’s needs. Dermal fillers are available in different thicknesses and viscosity that match to the patients needs. The thicker products are generally reserved for deep folds or wrinkles, whilst smoother product is used to plump out fine lines and wrinkles

What are dermal fillers?

The most popular dermal fillers used today are made of a material using hyaluronic acid based products, such as those in the Juvéderm range manufactured by Allergan. These hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are non-permanent, meaning that they are reabsorbed into the body over time.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is found in body tissues, and it has been used safely in general medical applications for several decades.

What possible side effects can result from dermal fillers?

All dermal filler treatments have the risk of temporary bruising around the injection site, swollen facial features during the initial healing period and infection at injection site. These risks are higher when treatments are performed in unsterile environments such as hairdressers, beauty clinics or home environments and by inexperienced or unqualified practitioners.
The side effects and risks associated with dermal fillers will be discussed with your plastic surgeon at Ministry of Aesthetics

How long does the dermal fillers last?

Most fillers last around six to nine months, with the exact time depending on the area applied and the individual patient, as some patients’ bodies break down the fillers faster then others. Juvéderm Ultra lasts up to 1 year and Juvéderm Voluma, which is a volumising filler, typically lasts 18 months.

I look the same just fresher and younger! Exactly what I wanted! During the treatment I was Made to feel as comfortable as possible! I felt at ease. I d highly recommend anyone to go here, I d never let anyone else touch my face again. Thanks so much! See you soon

I've just been and had a mole removed from my hairline with Dr Simons. And wow, what a great experience. He saw I was nervous and took my mind off of the procedure by talking with me and having a laugh with me. He explained everything prior to the procedure to make me feel at ease. And wow, honestly what a surgeon, he had the procedure over and done with so quickly! I'm genuinely shocked and impressed with his speed and efficiency! Couldn't be happier with the experience I've had with Ministry of Aesthetics, from the first phone call with Melanie, to the procedure with Dr Simons. They are a fantastic practice and I can't thank you both enough for everything you've done for me today and the days leading up to today! Thank you so much!! Over the moon happy!
