About Dermal Filler Treatments
As we get older natural substances such as elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid that are responsible for your skin elasticity and volume decrease, causing your youthful skin to wrinkle and sag. To compound this process further sun and other factors such as cigarette smoking speed up this depletion of elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid.
Dermal fillers are most commonly used to treat lines around the mouth, such as smoker’s lines and smile lines and to add fullness to the lip (lip augmentation). Dermal fillers can also help enhance facial features by adding definition to cheek bones and the lip line and diminish the appearance of a down-turned mouth and puppet lines,
If any of the below are causing you concern, you’ll be pleased to know that dermal fillers can dramatically improve many of these problems.
Downturned mouth?
Smoker’s lines?
Thin Lips?
Deep frown creases
Saggy cheeks?
Acne Scars?
Dermal Fillers - The Treatment
The wrinkle filler products used at Vice all now come with an inbuilt anaesthetic, which eliminates the need for a local anaesthetic. Instead numbing cream is applied to the area prior to treatment, the dermal filler is then injected into the target area to lift and plump.
Dermal Fillers - After The Treatment
There is minimal redness and swelling post treatment and makeup can be applied immediately post treatment. By the following day these side effects have generally completely resolved. There may be minor bruising in the area, which can also be covered with make-up.
Effects last 6 to 12 months on average depending on the filler used.
Tired Looking Eyes
The deep grooves beneath the eyes known as tear troughs can accentuate bags and dark circles beneath the eyes and can be treated easily with a dermal filler which can last for up to a year.
Unfortunately due to the large number of blood vessels under the eyes bruising is a side effect that can occur so we advise all patient to plan this treatment for a time where they will able to cover up any bruising that may result.
