DERMAL FILLERS PERTH

The longevity of dermal fillers can vary from client to client. Generally speaking, dermal fillers usually are absorbed by the body after 3-18 months.

Dermal fillers are a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures such as facelifts, and are extremely safe. Downtime is almost non-existent and there is little to no risk of scarring or other complications. At SKYN, our dermal fillers consist of a crystal-clear biodegradable gel, based on a natural, non-animal substance that occurs naturally in our bodies. Initial side-effects are minimal, and may include:

• Bruising
• Swelling
• Redness
• Pain or discomfort
• Asymmetry due to swelling

The effects of dermal fillers have been studied for almost 20 years, and while they are extremely safe, a very small percentage of people may experience more serious side effects such as:

• Allergic reactions
• Blindness
• Occlusions
• Secondary bacterial or viral infections (for example reactivation of the cold sore virus)

While these side effects are extremely rare, it’s important to only undergo dermal filler treatments with practitioners you trust. At SKYN, our Talent are medically trained and highly experienced. During your complimentary initial consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to talk through any concerns you may have regarding the safety of dermal fillers.

Bruising is a common reaction to fillers – unrelated to the skill of your injector. Areas such as the lips are especially vulnerable to cosmetic injecting as they are highly vascular.

You will be given an ice pack post-treatment, which is your best defence against bruising and swelling. Iron supplements or Vitamin C are believed to increase the bodies wound healing capabilities, so may reduce the effects of bruising. It is believed that medication’s such as Aspirin, pain killers, or high dosages of Vitamin E could increase chances of bruising.

Exercise post-treatment, or anything that increases your heart rate which increases blood flow to the area, could also contribute to bruising. Otherwise, bruising should subside within 2-4 days post-treatment.

Immediately after your dermal procedure, we recommend icing the treated area to reduce swelling. Other recommended aftercare steps following your dermal filler procedure include:

• Continued icing of the treated area as needed
• Refrain from vigorous exercise, sun exposure or heat for 24 hours
• Refrain from rubbing or pressing on the area as this will exacerbate swelling
• Avoid wearing makeup for at least 8 hours post-treatment
• Avoid consuming alcohol, spicy food, cigarettes or other substances that may cause irritation or swelling within the first 24-48 hours

Following these recommendations will ensure you get the best possible results from your dermal filler procedure.
