Dermal Filler Treatment

Dermal fillers can last from 6 to 12 months, but the duration depends on where the fillers are placed. In areas such as your jawline, under-eye, or nose, dermal fillers can last anywhere from 9 to 12 months. Dermal filler in areas such as your lips generally don’t last as long because there is more muscle movement around the mouth. Dermal filler in the lips typically lasts 6 to 9 months.

Dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. This can be injected into facial lines, folds, and tissues to restore facial volume that may decrease with age. Additionally, dermal fillers can be used to add structure to your face, such as the jawline or nose. Dermal fillers pose few risks or side effects. However, the most common side effects include bruising, swelling, and minor redness around the injected site. These usually resolve within the first 24 to 48 hours.

Dermal fillers are a smart option to visibly slow down the ageing process and make your skin appear fuller and more radiant. However, it is important you seek out a reputable clinic, like Sisu, that uses high-quality fillers and only employs trained medical professionals. Clinics that use lower quality products or administer with improper techniques can potentially speed up the skin’s ageing process or cause complications for patients.

After you're done with your dermal filler procedure at Sisu Clinic, you should avoid alcohol and aspirin for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Avoid vigorous exercise and excessive heat for up to 48 hours post-treatment. It is also recommended to avoid using makeup for 12 hours after your treatment.

Post-treatment care is crucial to achieving the best results from dermal fillers. It is generally recommended to avoid vigorous exercise for at least 24 to 48 hours after the procedure. Exercise increases blood flow and can potentially cause the filler to move from its intended area, leading to suboptimal results. Additionally, sweating can introduce bacteria into the injection sites, increasing the risk of infection. Gentle activities like walking are usually fine, but it's best to follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your aesthetic injector.

Yes, dermal fillers are generally considered safe when administered by a trained and experienced practitioner. However, as with any medical treatment, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of.
