Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours as a non-surgical alternative to facelifts. Results are immediate and can last from months to years. Choosing an experienced Aesthetic Dcotor ensures safety and natural-looking results.

Fillers are injectable substances that restore volume, enhance facial features, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Types of Fillers:

• Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers
• Poly-Caprolactone
• Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Fillers
• Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers

• Filling Wrinkles and Folds: Dermal fillers are injected beneath the skin to plump up areas where volume has been lost, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines.
• Enhancing Contours: Fillers can add volume to areas like the cheeks, lips, chin, and jawline, creating a more defined and youthful appearance.
• Hydration and Collagen Stimulation: Some fillers (especially hyaluronic acid) help hydrate the skin, while others, like calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-caprolactone and poly-L-lactic acid, stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting effects.

• Cheeks: To restore volume and lift sagging skin.
• Lips: For augmentation or to smooth lip lines (commonly known as smoker's lines).
• Nasolabial Folds: The lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth (smile lines).
• Marionette Lines: The lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin.
• Under-Eye Hollows: To reduce the appearance of dark circles and bags.
• Chin and Jawline: To improve contour and reduce the appearance of jowls.
• Liquid Rhinoplasty: To improve the profile of the nose making it look straighter and leaner.

• Consultation: Before the procedure, you will have a consultation with an Aesthetic Doctor to discuss your goals, medical history, and concerns.
• Injections: The practitioner uses a fine needle or cannula to inject the filler into the target areas.
• Duration: The procedure typically takes 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
• Aftercare: There is little to no downtime after filler injections. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site is normal and usually resolves within a few days.

• Immediate Effects: Most fillers provide immediate or near-immediate results, with the full effect visible after any initial swelling subsides.
• Longevity: The results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. Hyaluronic acid fillers tend to last between 6 to 18 months, while other fillers, like calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-caprolactone or poly-L-lactic acid, may last longer.
• Gradual Dissipation: Over time, the body naturally absorbs the filler, and touch-up treatments are needed to maintain results.

• Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive: No surgery, incisions, or long recovery periods.
• Customizable: Fillers can be tailored to meet specific needs, whether that's adding volume, enhancing features, or smoothing wrinkles.
• Natural-Looking Results: When administered by a skilled Aesthetic Doctor, fillers can provide subtle and natural-looking enhancements.
• Instant Gratification: Most fillers offer immediate results with minimal downtime.

• Common Side Effects:

• Swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, and small lumps usually going away within a few days.

• Rare Complications:

• Infection: Rare, but can happen at injection site.

• Blocked Blood Vessel: Can cause tissue damage or, in very rare cases blindness.

• Uneven Results: Can usually be fixed

• Allergic Reactions: Extremely rare with modern fillers.

• Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women
• Certain Medical Conditions: People with severe allergies, autoimmune disorders, or active skin infections near the areas to be treated should avoid fillers.
• Previous Reactions: Those who have had allergic reactions to filler substances should avoid dermal fillers.

• Experienced Professional: At RevivEstetik, treatments are performed by licensed Aesthetic Doctors with up to 18 years of experience.
• Safety First: Always prioritize safety over cost to avoid complications or unsatisfactory results.

• Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: These fillers can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which dissolves the filler if needed.
• Other Fillers: Non-hyaluronic fillers, like calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-caprolactone and poly-L-lactic acid, cannot be dissolved and will need to naturally degrade over time.
