Dermal Fillers Rickmansworth

Dermal fillers are soft tissue fillers injected into the skin at different depths to augment facial features, provide facial volume and help fill facial wrinkles.

Most of the dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring polysaccharide that is present in the skin and cartilage and gets eventually absorbed by the body.

Sometimes, more than one injection is required to achieve the desired wrinkle-smoothing effect.

The effect lasts for about six months or longer.

Successful results depend on the skin’s health, the healthcare provider’s skill, and the type of filler used.

Dermal filler duration is also highly dependent on the amount of activity in the region where it is injected.

Exercise and high-intensity activities such as manual labour can stimulate blood flow and shorten the lifespan of fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments.

With dermal fillers, initial results are seen immediately.

However, the dermal filler can take two to four weeks to set in fully.

This can depend on the injection site and treatment area and the type of filler used.
