Overview of Dermal Filling Injections

A long lasting cosmetic clinic treatment that smoothes away wrinkles, lines and give softer fuller lips, sounds too good to be true? These revolutionary treatments are available now, and are safe, natural and effective and the results are immediate.

The way your skin looks is directly related to the way your skin is supported. Wrinkles and skin lines form when the natural collagen and hyaluronic acid in your skin diminish during the course of natural aging. Other factors that cause wrinkles include exposure to the sun, disease, injury, heredity and lifestyle. Collagen provides structure to your skin while hyaluronic acid provides skin volume.

Dermal fillers are substances that are injected just below the surface of the skin to replenish the supporting elements, filling lines, wrinkles and scars from the inside out. Dermal fillers can restore a smoother, more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers have proven extremely popular. Mainly because they work well but they are also very safe and give immediate results. Most of the new fillers do not require patch testing and are not animal based products.

Recent years have seen huge explosion of injectable products becoming available for use as dermal fillers. This trend appears to be continuing with launch of new products on regular basis. Consequently there is ever increasing number of clinics offering such dermal filling cosmetic treatments.
When considering dermal filler injection treatments you should consider the following;

• Do official bodies in Europe (European Medical Devices directives) and the American Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approve the product?
• Who is performing the treatment? Do they have the proper training and credentials?
• When do you want to see results?
• Where are your problem areas?
• Make sure your doctor is well informed regarding all safety information provided by the manufacturer.

At the About Face Clinic we only use products that have good safety profiles.

There are two types of fillers available: temporary dermal fillers or permanent, long lasting dermal fillers.
