Injectable Dermal Fillers
Injectable dermal fillers are quickly becoming the most popular, most preferred non-invasive, non-surgical choice of women who wish to quickly augment their appearance and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles on their face. Women choose injectable dermal fillers as an easily accessible treatment because it is relatively inexpensive and can be accessed in about half an hour. These treatments have virtually no side effects and usually cause no allergic reactions.
What Happens When I Use Injectable Dermal Fillers?
This is an office procedure that is carried out by a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Each treatment will be carried out under local anaesthesia. Most patients are able to see almost instantaneous results.
How Long Will Injectable Dermal Fillers Last?
Most injectable dermal fillers will last between six to twelve months. At that time, the treatment will need to be repeated. One vial will treat one lip line or one brow line and will cost approximately £300 per vial. The length of time an injectable dermal filler treatment will last will vary depending on many factors such as the condition of your skin at the time of treatment. There are not very many different things you can do to make the amount of time it will last any longer. The length of time it will last will depend strictly on how your skin accepts and tolerates the treatment.
Who Can Administer Injectable Dermal Fillers?
These treatments should only be performed by board certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons because there are many nerves in the face. These nerves can be damaged by an injection carried out by someone who has not had proper medical training. Having a treatment by someone who simply works in a spa is a risky behaviour and should be carefully considered prior to agreeing to treatment. Be sure that they go over all the necessary steps you should take if you experience tenderness, swelling or bruising at the injection site following your treatment. These side effects are transitory and usually will disappear within twelve to twenty-four hours. You should not have any pain following a treatment with injectable dermal fillers. If you do experience any pain, treat it with a pain reliever like Tylenol or aspirin. This pain will probably resolve within twelve hours.
Is It Safe To Use Injectable Dermal Fillers If I Am Taking Medication?
Generally, it is safe to use injectable dermal fillers even when taking medication. This is something you should discuss in detail in advance with the physician who will be performing your procedure. People who are taking low dose aspirin therapy should discontinue it for seven days before treatment in order to avoid excessive bruising at the site. This issue is best discussed with your physician prior to treatment.
Are Injectable Dermal Fillers Covered By The British Health Care System?
Injectable dermal fillers are not currently paid for by the National Health Service. This is considered a cosmetic procedure and, as such, these types of treatments are entirely self-pay.
