Dermal fillers are a non-invasive treatment that can address visible signs of facial ageing
Men and women often seek this treatment due to developing lines, wrinkles and folds as they get older and they experience loss of volume to the face.
Dermal filler treatment is a procedure that our qualified nurse Fan can administer in the clinic. In particular, dermal fillers can enhance the cheeks and jawline, adjust lip volume, smooth lines and folds, refresh the eyes and lift the brows.
How do dermal fillers work?
The procedure involves injecting a natural substance into the desired area for a specific effect. Fan will take great care when administering the filler through a series of injections with a fine needle. This treatment is normally well tolerated by most patients, as a local anaesthetic or numbing cream can be applied to the skin before treatment. You may experience some swelling for the first 48hrs, so it is important that you have thought about your schedule prior to booking your treatment. The lips are most sensitive to swelling while other areas of the face can handle fillers with very little sign of treatment.
At your first consultation, Fan will discuss your goals and ask you about your general health and lifestyle. Fan will examine your facial features and explain the process of using dermal fillers and the results you can expect from this treatment. Dr Lam will also check in during the consultation process to approve the procedure.
