Filling up the lines

Filling up the lines


Wish to look younger and fresher but afraid of going under the knife? The pain, the downtime, surmountable costs and of course, the recovery period are all factors that one has to thoroughly consider before undergoing such procedures.
For those who want wants a safe and quick correction for their skin or any other parts of their face, Medical Aesthetics offers dermal fillers to rectify your skin issues. It is a popular non-surgical option in correcting various skin conditions. Let us understand a little more on fillers.


What are Dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are used as a non-surgical cosmetic treatment. Most dermal fillers are made of Hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in our body. They are injected into the skin to make it firmer, improving the appearance of aging skin. It can be used for:

• Reducing wrinkles, and deep creases of the face eg. Naso-Labial Folds
• Reducing appearance of some depressed acne scars
• Enhancing appearance of the nose, lips, cheeks and sunken temples
• Reducing appearance of tear troughs, hence reducing “eye-bags/dark circles” 
  

Dermal fillers work like face-lifts, minus the downtime and hefty costs associated with surgical face-lifts. However, this treatment is not permanent and should be maintained to achieve desired results. 





So how do fillers work?

Filler is injected into targeted skin areas. Skin is plumped up in less than 30 minutes and the effect can be maintained for up to a year, depending on types of fillers used. Some fillers contain local anesthetic, hence minimising the pain factor.



Are there any side effects?

Depending on the area injected, the procedure is relatively painless to mildly uncomfortable. Some minor bruising might occur at the injections sites. Others may have some erythema and swelling. These usually disappear after a day or two. Improvement is visible after the first session. You will be able to resume your normal daily routine.
