The answer to this question depends on a variety of factors. Some women simply want to achieve a more youthful appearance, while others are looking to enhance specific facial features such as the lips.
As women approach the menopause, collagen levels can take a big dip which sometimes leads to a sudden loss of volume; dermal fillers can be an excellent way to restore this volume loss and achieve your desired look. However, it’s important to consult with a medical professional to ensure that they are the right option for you.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are an injectable substances that are used to add volume and fullness to the skin and the tissues beneath. The fillers we use at Cosmetic Perfection are made from hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the body and is our own natural moisturiser. Different formulations of dermal fillers are available, each of which is designed for a specific purpose.
For example, some dermal fillers are used to plump up the lips, while others are injected into the cheeks or under the eyes in order to provide a more youthful appearance. The results of dermal filler injections can last for several months, and sometimes even years before they are naturally reabsorbed by the body.
Are There Any Risks Associated With Dermal Fillers?
As with any type of medical procedure, there are some risks associated with dermal fillers. The most common side effects include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These side effects typically subside within a week or two. More serious complications are rare but can occur in some people. These complications may include allergic reactions, infections or blockage of a vessel.
Again, it’s important to consult with a medical professional prior to getting dermal fillers in order to determine whether or not they’re right for you. They will be able to assess your individual risks and help you make an informed decision about whether or not dermal fillers are right for you. Whoever you decide to approach to perform your dermal filler procedure it is absolutely vital that they are medically qualified to ensure the filler is safely placed in the correct location and that the clinician has the prescription-only medication to hand which can immediately dissolve any filler should an emergency occur.
