As the leaves begin to fall and we welcome the crisp air of October, it’s the perfect time to refresh your appearance with one of the most popular and transformative non-surgical treatments available: dermal fillers.

This month, Dr Priya is shining a spotlight on these versatile injectables. This blog explores how they work, their benefits, and the specific areas they treat including cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. 

So, whether you’re looking to enhance your natural beauty or turn back the clock, dermal fillers offer a personalised solution with naturally stunning results.

How do Dermal Fillers work?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels primarily composed of hyaluronic acid which is a substance found in the skin which helps to maintain hydration and volume. Over time, our natural production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin decreases, leading to volume loss, sagging, and fine lines.

Fillers work by replenishing lost volume, contouring and enhancing facial features, smoothing wrinkles and folds, and stimulating collagen production in the skin.

The Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Immediate results will be seen with continued improvement over days or weeks (you will notice swelling and sometimes bruising which will usually go down within 7-10 days) and they can be tailored to you for a natural and subtle enhancement. The treatment is non-surgical and minimally invasive with little to no downtime and results typically last for 6-12 months depending on the area treated.

Key Treatment Areas for Dermal Fillers

Cheek Fillers

Over time, cheeks can lose volume and appear sunken or flat. Cheek fillers subtly enhance bone structure by restoring youthful contours, providing a lifted appearance to the mid face, and improving facial symmetry.

Lip Fillers

One of the most requested filler treatments, lip augmentation, can be tailored to your goal for a natural and subtle result. Lip fillers add volume, enhance the definition of your cupids bow and vermillion border to reduce lines and creases around the lip border. smooth out vertical lip lines, and balance uneven lips.

Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines)

As we age, the deep lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth can become more pronounced. Dermal fillers can soften and smooth the appearance of folds, improve skin elasticity in the mid face and restore a youthful, refreshed look.

Marionette Lines

Lines that run from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin can make the face look sad or tired. Fillers here can lift and rejuvenate the lower face, improve facial harmony and restore a more cheerful and relaxed expression.

Who are Dermal Fillers suitable for?

Dermal fillers are suitable for those who wish to restore volume in the face that has been lost due to ageing and who desire subtle and natural enhancements to their facial features. It is important to discuss your goal or outcome with your aesthetic practitioner so they can advise on the best treatment.
