The area and injection site will likely be swollen after the procedure. You may also notice some redness or bruising, which is normal. Most side effects will be minor, and you will be able to resume most activities once the procedure is done.
It may take up to 3 weeks for bruising and swelling to resolve completely. In most cases swelling and bruising does dissipate after a number of days.

Yes, fillers are reversible. We have a service where you can book to have them dissolved if necessary.
There is no wait time for filler injections in different areas.
If you would like to add to the same area , then it is recommended that you wait until the injection site is fully healed and previous filler is completely settled, before you add any more; so allow at least 6-8 weeks.

Dermal fillers do come with some side effects. These tend to occur immediately after injection, but these are usually temporary and disappear within a few days. According to the fda, normal side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, itching and tenderness at the injection site. The filler may also show up under the skin as tiny bumps, however this often improves over time. You can gently massage with clean hands or the tongue.
While less common, you should be aware of the following side effects: infections, lumps and bumps, and discoloration or change in pigmentation.

Everybody reacts to events differently and having filler injected into your face is no different! For some, there is absolutely no pain experienced at all. For others who are more sensitive to pain, they may experience more discomfort. Treatments around the lip and nose area are typically the most uncomfortable. But this can still be tolerated. Topical anaesthetic cream is applied before every treatment.
Volume loss under your eyes is what filler works best for. But it can also be used in some cases to treat puffy bags (known as pseudoherniation of orbital fat).
Some filler can also help with pigmentation. This is when your dark circles are caused by darker pigment in your skin, as opposed to shadows created from the hollows under your eyes.
There are ingredients in the filler products we use, that can aid in helping to brighten the under eyes.
Please note: in some cases, dark circles are largely due to genetics and can also be caused by dehydration, lack of sleep and blood vessels in the area.

No. Dermal fillers are not permanent
They made from a material called hyaluronic acid, which gradually gets broken down by our bodies over time.

It is an innovative, minimally invasive alternative to conventional surgical techniques that is aimed at raising the eyebrows.
It uses dissolvable sutures to lift and elongate the eye to create a more almond shape.
The results of this technique are unique because as well as raising the eyebrows, it also opens up the eyes and stretches any sagging of the upper eyelid.

This varies depending on the patient's age at the time of treatment, the quality of the skin, the degree of sagging and the number of threads used.
However, results can last for 2-3 years on average.

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be quickly dissolved using an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. This acts to disperse hyaluronic acid, speeding up the natural breakdown of the dermal filler.
Hyaluronidase can only be used on hyaluronic acid fillers. It cannot be used on semi-permanent fillers such as collagen fillers - these will usually disappear with time, butif you're not prepared to wait, the fillers may need to be excised. Permanent fillers will always need to be surgically removed.

Most dermal fillers today contain hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar. We make it naturally in our own bodies. You often hear about it being in face creams and that's because it is a humectant - its purpose is to pull water to itself. When filler is initially injected, its normal to be able to feel it if you were to palpate it (it shouldn't look lumpy or bumpy though).
Usually, 2-4 weeks post-injection the hyaluronic acid in your filler will pull water from your body and bind it to itself. This "softens" and "settles" the filler and is why we usually tell clients to wait a minimum of 2 weeks post-injection for optimal results.

This is an easy one. All of the filer products we use will give you a natural look. The filler products we use are all based on hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is the substance of choice when it comes to filler treatments for lots of reasons,
It is a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies and that can bind huge amounts of water. Thereby, hyaluronic acid keeps our body tissues soft, hydrated and flexible.
So, with the right injector, you will get the most natural-looking (and feeling) lips.
We love all of the products we use but are especially impressed by the teosyal kiss range.

The effects of treatments are permanent provided you maintain a healthy weight;
Weight gain can unfortunately cause new fat cells to form. But by continuing a healthy lifestyle, you can ensure those pesky fatty deposits don't come back.

While botox and fillers are incredibly safe, they can come along with side effects that alcohol can worsen. If you have an appointment to get injectables, staying away from alcohol for at least 48-72 hours before, can be a clever idea to lessen the effects of swelling, bleeding and bruising.
Alcohol is one of the most significant factors for more than average bleeding during your injectables appointment. Alcohol is a substance that is known to thin the blood. And the blood vessels can become enlarged after having a few drinks - even days after drinking. During treatment, more blood, bruising and swelling may appear if you recently indulged.

No, dermal filler does not feel hard. Dermal filler is a gel made from hyaluronic acid. This acid is a naturally occurring substance in skin so once settled, it feels completely normal under the skin.
However, with any injections into the skin with dermal filler, lumpiness may occur. Umpiness is very common to feel in your skin in the days after injection of dermal filler into the face, including the upper lip body and the cheeks and the chin area and along wrinkles and folds when injected to lift these. It will usually resolve within 14 days.
Lumps typically occur because of bruises under the filler or could be that the product may have been injected in a larger deposit in one area - this will resolve nearly all the time.

The products we use can last up to 18 months depending on the person. Several other factors can influence dermal filler longevity.
This includes:
- How much is injected
- The speed at which your body metabolises the filler material that is why its typically about the individual. Your body could metabolise it at a faster rate than someone else.

We advice clinets to wait at least 6 hours before applying makeup after filler injections to give the skin time to heal and reduce the risk of infection.
You will typically require 2 - 8 treatments, 4 weeks apart. Some people may see significant results after 1 or 2 sessions. Treatment for fat pockets underneath the neck and chin, while treatment for fat pockets on the stomach, hips and thighs may require 8 treatments.
We recommend avoiding anti-inflammatory painkillers before and after the procedure as these can thin the blood and increase the risk of redness, swelling. Bleeding and bruising.
Ibuprofen and aspirin are the most well-known anti-inflammatory drugs. However. During your consultation it's important that you let us know what medication you're taking so we can advise on possible contraindications (situations in which you should avoid taking your medication).
If your practitioner has applied a local anaesthetic cream. It's normal to feel like the pain is getting worse as the effects of this cream wear off. If you're in pain, apply a cold compress to the area to help reduce swelling.
