Dermal Filler
Filler procedures involve the precise injection of small quantities of HA just beneath the skin. There are different injection techniques depending on which filler treatment you have and the desired effect that is to be achieved. On the whole filler treatments are quick to perform and very tolerable. Local anaesthetic creams or injections can be used to make you more comfortable when treating slightly more sensitive areas, such as the lips or the nose, or if you have a phobia of needles.
A common concern with dermal filler injections is the fear of looking puffy or overfilled. This only occurs when treatments are conducted where there is little or no indication, or when too much filler has been injected. This undesirable outcome is therefore easily avoidable by injecting appropriate quantities of filler in patients that will benefit from treatment. At Carriages, we pride ourselves on natural looking undetectable results, ensuring we keep you looking and feeling like your best self.
Immediately after the procedure, there may be some redness, swelling or very mild bruising at the injection points but this occurs infrequently and will usually settle within 48 hours.
The effect of the filler is immediate so results will be visible straight away. You can expect results to last from 9 to 18 months depending on the area being treated and the density of filler used.
