How often do I need treatment

The effects of dermal fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors like metabolism. Areas with more movement, such as the lips, may require touch-ups sooner (around 6 to 9 months), while areas like the cheeks or jawline can maintain results for up to 18 months. Regular maintenance sessions help preserve optimal, natural-looking results.

Side effects

  •  Swelling: Common at the injection site and usually resolves within a few days.
  •  Bruising: Can occur due to needle penetration and generally fades within a week.
  • Redness: Temporary and typically subsides shortly after treatment
  • Pain or tenderness: Mild discomfort can occur but usually diminishes quickly.
  • Lumps or bumps: May develop if the filler is unevenly distributed.
  • Itching or rash: Allergic reactions are rare but possible.
  • Infection: Although rare, there’s a risk of infection at the injection site.

 

More serious but uncommon side effects can include:

  • Vascular occlusion: If the filler is injected into a blood vessel, it can block blood flow, leading to tissue damage.
  • Nodules or granulomas: These can form if the body reacts to the filler.
  •  Vision changes: Rarely, if injected improperly near the eyes.

 

Postcare( after treatment)

  • for 24hrs: avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcoholic beverages in order to help minimise the risk of temporary redness, swelling and or itching.
