Injectable Treatment After Care
What is Dermal and how is it administered
-
Dermal fillers are an injectable hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a nateral substains found in the body together with collagen and elastin this forms the scaffolding of our skin.
Aim of treatment
-
Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid (HA), and different facial areas need different types. Thin, delicate areas like under the eyes need fillers with lower amounts of HA, which are smoother and prevent lumps. Areas needing more volume, like cheeks or jawlines, need fillers with higher amounts of HA, which are thicker and provide more lift. Lips often benefit from a medium-strength HA filler, giving both volume and natural movement. Choosing the right HA concentration and thickness for each area ensures the best, most natural result

It's really important to have the right motivations and expectations for any aesthetic treatment. s

Your skin may have increased sensitivity to the sun and we recommend that you use a factor 30+ sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area and sunbeds for at least 4 days after your treatment.

If you experience (rarely) itching in the treated area, avoid scratching the skin. You can take an antihistamine e.g. Piriton to alleviate the irritation.

We advise not using any skincare that contains AHA, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid or Rertinoic Acid (e.g. Retin A) for 3-5 days following treatment.
