When
you look in the mirror and see your first facial wrinkles you are recognizing
the first visible signs of the ageing process. Facial Wrinkles and creases begin
to appear as the underlying collagen and elastin figures begin to break down and
wear out after the age of 25 years. While this breakdown is part of the natural
ageing process, it can also result from excessive squinting, frowning, smoking
or sun damage. |

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK ?
|
|
A simple injection
placed under the skin at dermis level with a very fine needle, replenishes the
skin’s natural volume, enhancing lips, smoothing out lines and wrinkles thus
helping to erase the signs of ageing. |
|
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED ?
|
The most commonly areas
treated are:
* from the nose to the angle of the mouth (the nasolabial folds).
* lips (enhancement).
* cheeks and chin (shaping).
* back of the hands, décolletage, face (skin hydro-balance).
* between the eyebrows (the glabellar lines). |
|
HOW LONG DOSE THE TREATMENT TAKE ?
|
|
The treatment takes approximately fifteen
minutes, results are immediate. |
|
IS THIS TREATMENT PAINFUL ?
|
|
The injections may prick a
little, but normally no anaesthesia is needed for wrinkles and folds. For the
more sensitive, an anaesthetic cream is normally applied 1 – 2 hours prior to
treatment to numb the area. |
|
ARE THERE ANY POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECT?
|
Occasionally some people may experience
symptoms such as slight swelling, redness, itching or tenderness in the treated
area but these reactions are quite normal and usually disappear within a one to
six days.
If the lips are being treated however, initial swelling may last longer for up
to a week and they may look somewhat uneven. This means that the result directly
after the treatment should not be looked upon as the final result. It is very
important to massage the treated areas for up to seven days afterwards to ensure
an even appearance. |
|
HOW LONG DOES THE RESULT LAST ?
|
Results of these
treatments are immediate and the effects can last anything from three to twelve
months, depending on which product is being used. The general length of time is
specific to each individual.
All of the dermal filler treatments are non-permanent and are absorbed naturally
over time – it’s your choice when to have further treatment to maintain the
effect. |
