Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is abundant in our skin and provides plumpness and hydration. Dermal fillers are an injectable cosmetic treatment, and are designed to add volume, restore hydration, and rejuvenate the skin, addressing concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, and facial volume loss.

How do dermal fillers reshape facial structure?

Dermal fillers add volume and shape to your facial features, helping you achieve a more balanced and attractive appearance.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are minimal and temporary, including swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site.

Can I go back to my daily activities after the treatment?

Yes, most of our patients resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure.

How Do Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers Work?

Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains water, providing hydration and plumpness to the skin. When injected, HA fillers replenish lost volume and stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. Their effects are both immediate and long-lasting.

Where can HA Fillers Be Used?

Common treatment areas include: Chin, Cheek, Jawline, Tear Trough, Smile Lines, Nasolabial Fold and Marionette Lines. We do not treat foreheads or noses*

Are results revesible?

Yes, HA based fillers can be completely dissolved using the enzyme, hyaluronidase.

Benefits of HA Dermal Fillers: HA fillers offer a wide range of benefits, including:

Improved facial contour and symmetry.
Reduction of wrinkles, fine lines, and folds.
Restoration of youthful plumpness and elasticity.
Quick and minimally invasive treatment with minimal downtime.

Results and Duration:

Results from HA fillers are often visible immediately and continue to improve over the following days. The effects typically last from six to 18 months, depending on the specific product used and individual factors.

Safety and Side Effects:

HA dermal fillers are generally safe, with a low risk of adverse reactions. Common side effects may include temporary swelling, redness, bruising, and mild discomfort at the injection sites. Serious complications are rare.

Aftercare and Recovery:

After treatment, avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, drink plenty of water, no touching the treated area immediately afterwards, no alcohol for 24 hours, and use ice to minimise swelling. Most people can resume normal activities, including eating and drinking, within 60 minutes of treatment.

About Our Dermal Filler

Dermal filler is one of the main non-invasive cosmetic injectables procedures that we offer at Dermaq Aesthetics. Dermal filler is a thick gel substance that, when injected under the skin, can achieve a range of aesthetic outcomes.

The precise outcome depends on the thickness of the filler, technique used to inject, and area of the injection. The dermal fillers used at Dermaq Aesthetics are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance found in our skin and connective tissue. It is responsible for retaining water to keep your skin plump and well hydrated. It also plays an important role in collagen production and wound healing.

Hyaluronic acid used in dermal filler is synthetically made. The gel like substance is hydrophilic, which means that it attracts and holds onto water molecules to plump and hydrate tissues. By attracting large amounts of water, the skin stays hydrated, plump and youthful looking. Hyaluronic acid can actually hold up to 1000 times its weight in water!

What Can Filler Be Used For?

As we age the quality of our skin decreases due to the loss of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Along with thinning of facial bones and loss of subcutaneous fat pads, the skin appears to sag, and the loss of volume results in hollowing of areas such as the temples. Luckily there are non-surgical ways of correcting these changes!

Filler Can Be Used To Achieve A Range Of Results:

Plumping and hydration of the lips, as well as defining the shape (Lip filler)
Restoration of lost volume, eg. Mid-cheek and temple
Filling out wrinkles/lines, such as marionette lines
Correct facial asymmetry
Contouring of structures such as jawline or cheeks
Profile enhancement, eg. Chin projection

Dermal fillers start from $ 389
