As we age, intrinsic factors like loss of subcutaneous fat in the face, changes to bone structure, gravity and reduction of collagen and elastin may cause deep lines, hollowing in the face and sagging skin.

This, in combination with environmental factors such as sun damage and dynamic wrinkles can worsen and change a once youthful face.In other instances, you may notice asymmetry or a lack of natural volume at a younger age and wish to achieve more symmetry and a plumper look.

​

Dermal Filler can be utilised to restore this lost volume, contour the shape of the face and enhance facial features.

WHAT IS DERMAL FILLER?

Dermal Filler contains a naturally occurring substance which is found in the skin and connective tissue of the body. This means they are biocompatible and carry a low risk for allergy or sensitivity.

The substance is hydrophilic (meaning they love and hold onto water in the skin), meaning they are able to maintain their volume and shape. Over time the dermal filler will be broken down by the body.

Skin Scan is committed to natural, harmonious results to create facial balance. 

DERMAL FILLER CAN BE USED TO TREAT

  • Lip augmentation, definition and volumisation

  • Reduction of lines in the lip area

  • Static lines (superficial to deep) around the face including nasolabial folds and marionette lines. The addition of anti- wrinkle injections in this treatment increases the longevity of the filler.

  • Restoration of lost volume in the cheeks and temples, smoothing facial contours and hollowing.

  • Tear Trough and periorbital rejuvenation ( can assist in dark circles)

  • Chin enhancement

  • Jawline contouring

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Every new client of Skin Scan will require a full cosmetic consultation. This consultation will include clinical photography, skin assessment and facial assessment based on your concerns and expectations. Your practitioner will then tailor a treatment plan that is specific to you.

​

Treatment with dermal filler may involve discomfort. At Skin Scan we prioritise your comfort and can supply a prescription numbing cream or block of the supplying nerve with local anaesthetic. The dermal filler used at Skin Scan also contains local anaesthetic to further reduce discomfort.

​

The treatment involves the injection of gel-like fluid through small needles or cannulas into the proposed treatment area with different techniques to disperse the filler in an aesthetically pleasing way.

​

The effect is seen immediately, but some patient will notice swelling for 24 to 48 hours so the final effect may not be observed until then. It may take up to 4 weeks for the dermal filler to stabilise and fully settle into the area. A follow up consultation is recommended at this time to assess the results.
