There are minimal side effects associated with dermal fillers. With any medical procedure, there are always risks involved and your doctor/nurse will discuss all risks and contraindications prior to performing any procedure. These medications have been extensively researched for over 20 years with well established risk data. A follow-up consultation at this time is recommended to assess the results and determine the next phase of treatment. It may take to 3 to 4 weeks for the dermal filler to stabilise and fully settle into the skin. The effect is immediate, but some patients will notice increased swelling for 24 to 48hours so the true effect may not often be noticeable until then. It is important to note that each practitioner may use a different technique for your treatment, no two treatments will be the same. The treatment itself involves the injection of the gel-like fluid through small needles or cannulas into the areas of concern, with different techniques to disperse the filler in a smooth and uniform way. This is to ensure an aesthetically pleasing result and accuracy of injection. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes or longer if multiple areas are treated. All treatments using dermal fillers are performed by our doctors and nurses who prefer to use dermal fillers that contain local anaesthetic which further reduces the discomfort. In the treatment of certain areas, a prescription numbing cream or a block of the supplying nerve with local anaesthetic is performed. Treatment with dermal fillers often involves some discomfort. A tailored treatment plan will be devised with the aim to provide the best possible results and a natural harmonious look. This will include full clinical photography, skin assessment and review with the doctor or nurse to assess your areas of concern, expectations and determine the need for any other complementary treatments. Prior to any treatment with dermal fillers, a full consultation is required.
