Adds VOLUME, LIFTS & ENHANCES FACIAL FEATURES

Dermal Fillers

Dermal Fillers are products that are designed to help increase the volume of the lips, smooth wrinkles and plump up folds in the skin. Dermal Fillers are used to treat, facial volume loss, facial folds, lines & wrinkles, depressed scars, lip volume and shape.

What are dermal fillers?

There are a number of different dermal fillers approved for use in New Zealand, however, by far the commonest dermal filler used is comprised of the naturally occurring sugar Hyaluronic acid. There are several different brands of this product and it comes in various thicknesses to suit different areas.

The process involves injecting a product to add volume and hydration to the desired area. After the procedure, the gel binds with the water in your skin and provides natural volume to smooth wrinkles. The gel also blends with adjoining tissues and allows other nutritive elements, like oxygen, glucose and hormones, to pass between fragments of the gel. The result is instantly fuller, revitalised and plumper skin.

Dermal fillers are popular as they are non-surgical yet have immediate, visible effects. The immediate change to the contours of the face creates an instantly fresher, more youthful appearance.

Who Can Benefit From Dermal Fillers?

As we age, the turnover of collagen cells in our skin slows, making our complexion appear dull and tired especially around the eyes and mouth. Dermal fillers work by augmenting the volume of folds and sunken areas of the face, increasing both the volume and the hydration of the area.

Dermal fillers are commonly used to combat:

Droop or frown lines in the corners of the mouth
The deepening of the Nasolabial Fold between the nose and corners of the mouth
Marionette Lines between the corners of the mouth and side of the chin
Crow’s Feet on the outside of the eyes

Dermal fillers can also be used to add volume to areas even if ageing hasn’t had any effect yet. Lip enhancements and cheek enhancements are popular in younger people looking to augment their features. Cheek enhancements have also become popular in women of all ages to restore the ‘apple cheeked’ look of their youth.

You should not have dermal fillers if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and you should defer treatment if you have any active infections. For 2 weeks before treatment you should avoid dental work or vaccinations. Advise us if you are taking any medications, have allergies or get cold sores.

As with any injectable treatment, we recommend avoiding excessive alcohol consumption and high intensity exercise 24 hours prior to your treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.

Aftercare

We recommend drinking plenty of water in the 24 hours after dermal fillers to help with the result. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas and prolonged sun exposure the rest of the day of treatment. Sleep with an extra pillow on the night after treatment to prevent excess swelling.

Some swelling, redness, bruising and tenderness are common after dermal filler treatments, but often subside within the first 24 hours. Dermal fillers are often paired with anti-wrinkle injection treatments for the most effective results.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are smooth injectable gels made from synthesised hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring clear, gel-like substance found in our skin. Dermal fillers are injected under your skin to replenish lost volume and hydration, diminishing the depth of wrinkles and improving facial contours. Sublime uses a range of fillers made of both thinner gels which are great for filling fine wrinkles as well as thicker gels for re-sculpting facial contours and restoring lost volume in areas such as the cheeks.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a natural gooey gel-like carbohydrate present in every tissue of the body and provides support, hydration, and promotes collagen formation. It is found abundantly in youthful skin however, declines with age which contributes to volume loss, development of fine lines and wrinkles, dehydrated skin, and an overall dullness in facial appearance. By restoring lost volume, re-sculpting facial contours, and enhancing lip volume and definition with HA fillers we can help to restore a more youthful appearance with improved skin texture and hydration (HA holds 1000x it’s own weight in water!)

Do you treat wrinkles on the cheeks?

If lines and wrinkles high up on the cheekbone are caused by the lower fibres of the muscle around the eye (Orbicularis oculi) they are considered to be crow’s feet and can be improved with anti-wrinkle injections. If they are caused by the cheekbone muscle (Zygomaticus), they do not respond well to anti-wrinkle injections and trying to treat them can result in an uneven smile. If related to underlying volume loss, then dermal fillers will improve these lines.

What areas can be treated with dermal fillers?

What are the possible side effects?

The treated area will initially look red and swollen and feel tender. Swelling settles within hours, rarely lasting 1-2 weeks depending on the area treated and filler used. Bruising may appear 12-24 hours after treatment, especially in those taking aspirin, anti-inflammatories, garlic, and fish oil. Bruising is not harmful and can be covered with makeup while fading over 1-3 weeks. You may see or feel the filler as a firm lump under the skin before softening occurs over 4-6 weeks. Cold sores can be triggered in predisposed individuals and can be prevented by preventative anti-viral medication taken leading up to your treatment. Due to factors like preexisting underlying facial asymmetry, your result may be slightly uneven despite our very best efforts.

Rarely allergy can occur resulting in redness, lumps, and swelling or filler can enter an artery or vein causing an occlusion – this is treated by dissolving the filler with an enzyme. There is a very small risk of infection, treated by antibiotics and dissolving enzymes.
