Types of fillers

In the world of age-defying cosmetic procedures, several fillers have been developed to combat the symptoms of ageing in specific areas of the skin, face and body. From lip fillers, cheek fillers and dermal fillers, the creation of fillers has revolutionised the world of cosmetic procedures.

Choose these non-invasive treatments as a simple and effective alternative to more permanent surgical options. Read on to know more about cheek filler treatments and the types of fillers available.

Dermal filler injections are gel-like cosmetic injectables that are utilised beneath the epidermis to restore volume, soften fine lines and redefine facial contours. They are a highly effective and economical option making them the preferred choice for over a million people a year.

The 3 key ingredients in facial fillers include Hyaluronic Acid, Calcium Hydroxylapatite and Poly-L-Lactic Acid.

Hyaluronic Acid is comprised of a naturally-occurring substance that is found in the body. It’s the ingredient used in most dermal fillers utilised at Me Clinic. Its key feature is in allowing cells to retain moisture, thus making skin more hydrated and plump.

Other qualities of Hyaluronic Acid include:

• Making skin more radiant, soft and supple.
• Skin is more youthful thanks to the reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
• It’s effective for any skin type including acne-prone skin
• Hyaluronic Acid contains antioxidant properties so your skin is protected against pollution and other elements.

How long do they last?

Cosmetic injectables such as dermal fillers do not offer permanent results, however, the duration of the effects of our fillers can vary, depending on the product used and individual circumstances.

On the plus side, as they are a non-surgical option, dermal fillers typically involve a shorter downtime, please note that recovery times may vary.

Who’s a good candidate for cheek fillers?

To achieve optimal results from dermal filler injections, an ideal candidate for the procedure must possess the following traits:

• No underlying health conditions including possible complications or tear troughs from a facelift, etc
• Good physical health is a bonus to allow for quick recovery
• No smoking. Nicotine is a barrier when it comes to the healing process
• A true commitment to maintaining good skincare health is key during the aftercare

What’s the procedure

During a dermal filler treatment, you may be given a topical anaesthesia with the use of numbing cream. Your qualifiedpractitioner then proceeds to use a thin needle as an injector, also known as a cannula, to insert tiny amounts of filler beneath your skin. The injection site may be several specific areas of your cheek. During the treatment, you may experience a small pinch or stinging sensation. However, it’s important to note that individual experiences with discomfort may vary. The entire procedure is completed in around 30 minutes.

Preparation and recovery

In preparation for your low-risk cosmetic treatment, the team at Me Clinic highly recommends following some guidelines to limit the amount of bruising that may result from dermal filler injections.

• We may recommend stopping some prescription medication and vitamin supplements that affect blood clotting.
• This will be discussed at you initial consultation with your practitioner.
• Stop the consumption of alcohol before your treatment.
• To reduce swelling caused by the injectables, take arnica. It’s a herbal supplement that not only reduces swelling, it also promotes healing.

After receiving dermal fillers, recovery experiences may vary depending on individual circumstances. Apply a cold compress or an ice pack to help reduce the discomfort during this recovery time. Another side effect of dermal filler injections can be bruising. People who are more prone to bruising often suffer from low levels of iron or Vitamin C. Older individuals with fragile or thin skin are also more susceptible to bruising. Ingestion of arnica will help to reduce bruising.
