FILLERS

WHAT CAUSES SKIN TO AGE?

With increasing age,the Hyaluronic Acid content of our skin decreases,reducing its capacity to stay moist and supple.Oil producing glands reduce their activity and the skin becomes dry.Skin loses fat,thus losing its youthful glow and smoothness.

WHAT IS A FILLER?

A filler is an injectable gel containing Hyaluronic Acid that restores youthful volume to cheeks,cheekbones and chin, that have become thin due to weight loss or age-related facial fat loss.The results are immediate,soft and natural looking.Hyaluronic Acid is used for aesthetic treatments, and has been used by doctors for injection into arthritic joints to aid movement , as well as eye surgery.

Some commonly used fillers are JUVEDERM(ALLERGAN INC.),RESTYLANE (GALDERMA),ESTHELIS/MODELIS/MESOLIS(COHERENT) etc.

HOW LONG WILL THE EFFECTS OF FILLERS LAST?

The average effect of fillers lasts up to 24 months.It may sometimes be longer or shorter depending on:

  • Your age
  • Your physiology
  • Your lifestyle(smoking and exposure to sun or UV rays may shorten the effect)
  • The amount injected and the practitioners technique.

HOW LONG WILL THE PROCEDURE TAKE?

The procedure takes just about 30-45 minutes,depending on the extent and area under consideration for injecting.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SHOW RESULTS?

Results with fillers are immediate and instant.We show you the pre- treatment and post-treatment results soon after injecting,for you to appreciate the immediate results.However best results can be seen in 2 weeks.

WILL THE TREATMENT HURT?

Not really!Fillers come with Xylocaine(local anesthetic)that makes skin numb as injection progresses.

WHEN CAN I RETURN TO WORK AND RESUME MY SOCIAL LIFE?

The aesthetic results are immediate and very natural looking.You might experience some redness and bruising after the injection (if it occurs),that can be concealed with make up or concealers.You can return to work and resume your social life immediately.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF FILLERS?

After injecting fillers, you may experience redness,mild swelling or bruising in the injected area. Theses side effects will not last and can easily be covered with make up.However,do revert back to us if they last beyond a week.

ARE THERE ANY PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE AFTER THE TREATMENT?

You are advised not to apply any pressure to,or massage the injected site during the first few days following the injection session. In the two weeks following treatment ,we advise against prolonged exposure to temperatures under zero degrees Celsius and to sun or strong heat (UV RAYS, SAUNA, STEAM BATHS ETC). Also avoid exercises involving bending head,yoga,jogs,weights etc.

HOW MUCH DOES THE TREATMENT COST?

This entirely depends on what treatment you are getting done,and how much product is required.We usually do a detailed consultation with the patient/client after assessment of face and knowing patients expectations and budget.
