Dermal filler treatment can producing safe, long-lasting and natural looking results. It is a safe and effective cosmetic and aesthetic treatment when by a qualified and experienced practitioner.

Many dermal fillers on the market are substandard in terms of and quality. The Private Clinic uses only the highest quality brand of temporary fillers, including Teoxane and Juvederm which are for their superior standards. You will only be treated by qualified and certified doctors and nurses to inject fillers.

Before your dermal filler appointment, we recommend that you avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours, avoid taking any medication that includes NSAIDs, aspirin, vitamin E, and ginseng for 1 week. We also recommend that you avoid wearing heavy makeup to your appointment.

What happens during a dermal filler procedure?

On the day of your dermal filler treatment, your practitioner will go over the planned treatment and ensure that you are still happy to proceed. You will be given the choice of local anesthetic which can help alleviate any needle fears.

Small amounts of dermal filler are injected directly into the skin using an ultrafine needle. Sometimes a cannula may be used.

The filler gel helps to plump up the skin, thereby out lines and wrinkles.

When lips or facial contours are being treated, the filler adds volume, restores shape and gives a fuller appearance.

Our policy is ‘less is more’ so we will always aim to give you a natural, subtle look.

Types of Dermal Filler Treatment that we offer

Immediately following your dermal filler treatment you may experience some redness, bruising, swelling, or tenderness. This is a normal reaction and is a result of the injections, it will disappear within a few days. Swelling after dermal filler treatment can last for up to 7 days.

Bruising after dermal filler is often associated with poor technique but this is not always the case. Bruising is very common after the use of a needle or cannula. Your own predisposition to bleeding will determine how much bruising you should expect to see following treatment.

To help patients avoid bruising we advise that any medications containing NSAIDs, aspirin, vitamin E, and ginseng are avoided in the week before dermal filler treatment. We also advise that these medications are also not used in the week following treatment.

It is also best to avoid:

Arnica cream can be used following to help soothe and calm the skin.

It is best not to have Dermal Filler at least 2 weeks before an important event, party, or occasion in case of any side effects.

Our expert aesthetic nurses or doctors will examine the treated area, and together, you’ll be able to discuss the final results. This includes deciding whether you’d like any to the existing filler placement to be made or further volume which may require additional dermal filler treatment.
