What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dr Diana Phan at Appearance Clinic Australia finds that using the Plexr non surgical eyelid and under eye tightening device, can give the desired results to the patient without the need for anaesthesia or the high cost and recovery time of surgery. A non-surgical Blepharoplasty can be performed alone or in conjunction with other facial procedures at Appearance Clinic Australia such as dermal fillers or laser genesis.

Plexr (Plasma EXeResis), a plasma generator, is a doctor only technology. While plasma treatments are a relatively new innovation in the Australian beauty industry, Plexr was produced after several years of research and clinical studies, in Italy and worldwide.

The extremely accurate instrument works by ionising the gas particles in the air between the tip of our device and the skin, to form plasma. This means that the results are instant, but also no heat is transferred to the surrounding area. The resultant tissue retraction and tightening (as opposed to removal) gives results that are comparable to the ones seen with invasive surgery.

Areas Treated With Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are commonly used to enhance various areas of the face, offering significant benefits for each treatment area. Popular areas for dermal fillers include the lips, cheeks, and tear troughs. These treatments are typically performed by a cosmetic doctor using soft dermal fillers, often hyaluronic acid fillers, to achieve facial rejuvenation and balance. The use of a local anaesthetic ensures patient comfort during the procedure.

Lips

Lip enhancement with dermal fillers focuses on improving the shape, size, and symmetry of the lips. Lip fillers can add volume to thin lips, create a more defined lip line, and enhance overall lip shape. This treatment helps address lip lines and provides a fuller, more youthful appearance. Using a very fine needle, the cosmetic physician carefully injects the filler to achieve natural-looking results. Patients can expect enhanced lips that complement their facial features and improve facial balance.

Cheeks

Dermal fillers are effective in adding volume and contour to the cheeks. Cheek fillers work by lifting sagging skin and restoring lost facial volume, which is a common effect of the natural ageing process. This treatment enhances the overall facial structure, providing a more youthful and lifted appearance. By using soft dermal fillers, the cosmetic doctor can achieve a smooth and natural contour, improving skin quality and giving the cheeks a refreshed look. Patients often notice immediate results, with cheeks appearing fuller and more defined.

Tear Troughs

Treating tear troughs with dermal fillers can significantly improve the appearance of under-eye hollows and dark circles. This area, often affected by the natural ageing process, can make individuals look tired and older than they feel. Dermal fillers work by filling in the hollows and adding volume to the tear troughs, resulting in a more rested and rejuvenated appearance. The procedure involves injecting hyaluronic acid fillers with a fine needle, carefully avoiding blood vessels to minimise bruising. The outcome is smoother under-eye skin and reduced dark circles, enhancing overall facial rejuvenation.

Safety and Side Effects of Dermal Fillers

At Appearance Clinic Australia, patient safety is a top priority. The clinic uses advanced techniques and technologies to ensure safe and effective dermal filler treatments. This includes minimising risks and enhancing patient outcomes through careful planning and thorough consultations.

Minimising Risks and Ensuring Safety

To minimise risks, the clinic uses cannulas instead of traditional needles to reduce bruising and damage to blood vessels. Ultrasound guidance may be employed to ensure accurate injections. Strict aseptic protocols are followed to prevent infections, including sterilizing all equipment and maintaining a clean environment.

Comprehensive consultations are conducted to discuss medical history, allergies, and desired outcomes, ensuring a safe and effective treatment plan.

Common Side Effects and Aftercare

Common side effects of dermal fillers include temporary redness, mild swelling, minor bruising, and slight tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days to a week. To manage these side effects, patients are advised to apply cold compresses, avoid intense physical activities for 24-48 hours, use numbing cream for discomfort, protect the treated area from direct sunlight, and stay hydrated. Following these aftercare instructions helps ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Benefits of Dermal Filler Treatments

Dermal filler treatments offer numerous benefits, including facial rejuvenation, volume restoration, and contouring. These treatments smooth out wrinkles and skin creases, providing a youthful appearance without the need for plastic surgery. By enhancing facial expressions and restoring lost volume, dermal fillers significantly improve the overall aesthetics of the face.

Specific improvements from dermal filler injections include smoothing wrinkles around the mouth and nose, enhancing lip shape, size, and symmetry, and treating the tear trough area to reduce under-eye hollows and dark circles. Dermal fillers also help relax muscles and add volume to cheeks, providing a more defined and youthful look. The treatment duration is relatively short, often less than an hour, and results can vary depending on skin type and the specific area treated.

What Are Anti-wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections are composed of a naturally-occurring protein that is injected into wrinkle forming facial muscles. Over time, the solution will disrupt the transmission of signals from nerve to muscle causing the muscle to become more relaxed, resulting in the overlying skin to appear smoother. The dermal filler treatment takes about 10 minutes and is relatively painless.

  • It is very important to let us if you have any past or present health concerns or taking any medications prior to treatment. While undertaking these types of procedures, it is important to remember that we are injecting these solutions into the skin, therefore minor side effects such as redness, bruising and swelling can occur but usually only last a few days.

Contact us for your complimentary consultation, after Dr Diana has evaluated your skin she will give you a price as everyone has different needs and depending on how deep the lines will determine how many units or mls is required.

Doctor Diana performs cosmetic injectables in Essendon, Melbourne but we also have patients from Moonee Ponds and North Melbourne frequently.

Dermal fillers that last up to 2 years include those made with hyaluronic acid and poly-L-lactic acid, such as Juvederm Voluma and Sculptra. These fillers are effective in restoring facial volume, smoothing skin creases, and enhancing facial contours, providing long-lasting results for various skin types.

Whether dermal fillers are better than Botox depends on the desired outcome. Dermal fillers add volume and smooth wrinkles, while Botox relaxes muscles to reduce expression lines. Each treatment addresses different concerns, so the best choice varies depending on individual needs and facial rejuvenation goals.
