Dermal
Fillers
Dermal Fillers provide Long lasting Improvement to Facial Symmetry and Folds
How long does dermal filler last?
Duration depends on many factors, such as the individual's skin type, skin condition, lifestyle and age. Dermal fillers are often used in conjunction with anti-wrinkle injections and can last up to 9 months.
How is dermal filler done?
Dermal fillers are very quick and easy to perform. It starts by using a local anesthetic so that the procedure is virtually pain free. After this, the whole area to be treated is thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant and tiny needles are used to inject the dermal filler gel into the skin.
