During your consultation for dermal fillers, your practitioner will assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, and areas of concern to determine if dermal fillers are the right treatment for you. There are a few different treatment options for fillers – At Regency Eye Hospital, we use two dermal filler brands, Restylane or Juvéderm, which are a crystal-clear gel made from stabilised non-animal hyaluronic acid and water.
Your practitioner will take time to explain how dermal fillers work, the injection process, and what results you can expect to achieve, as well as covering the risks and potential side effects for this procedure.
Depending on the patient, there may also be pre-op instructions such as avoiding blood thinning medication, alcohol and certain supplements.
You will leave your consultation with a treatment plan outlining the areas to be treated, the amount of filler required and an expected timeline for recovery.
The gel is delivered into the facial tissues by injection, with needle or flexible cannula. This enhances your look by restoring volume loss in most facial areas. These dermal fillers have an excellent safety track record and are FDA approved.
The gel gives natural volume to smooth away the appearance of lines and create fuller lips. The treatment takes approximately 20-30 minutes.
You can drive after the treatment, as long as your vision is unaffected.
Side effects range from common, temporary side effects like bruising and swelling to rare, serious complications like infections, skin necrosis, or even blindness, emphasising the importance of choosing experienced injectors and being aware of potential issues.
Follow your post-care instructions provided by your practitioner, such as avoiding alcohol, blood-thinning medications that may interfere with the healing process.
Apply a cold compress to the treated area to reduce swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Use a clean cloth or ice pack wrapped in a thin, clean towel and apply it gently for short intervals.
Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins from your body and promote faster healing. Staying hydrated can also help improve the overall appearance of your skin.
