This means you should feel a small amount of heat and most people tolerate this well. We provide cooling before, during and after the procedure to make treatment more comfortable.

We may also recommend the use of numbing cream for very sensitive areas such as Face and Genetalia.

After the treatment, you may have temporary erythema (redness) or temporary per-follicular oedema (swelling/bumps). And these will settle down within hours.

As we age, our natural hyaluronic acid production slows down which causes the skin to age, resulting in skin sagging and wrinkles. Dermal fillers effectively provide this essential ingredient for healthy, younger looking skin.

The main function of hyaluronic acid is to attract and retain large quantities of moisture when injected to the dermis which is the layer of skin between the epidermis and the subcutaneous layer.

This results in a semi-permanent volumising, or plumping effect. Dermal fillers also help hydrate skin, act as an antioxidant and maintain skin elasticity.

Dermal fillers are not painful, the amount of discomfort you experience may vary depending on the area.

Treatments around the lip and nose area are typically the most uncomfortable but this can still be tolerated well with a topically applied anesthetic cream.

There is no downtime. However, there may be mild redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or itching which usually subsides after a few hours following treatment.

Most patients return to work or to their regular activities immediately after receiving treatment. We recommend 24 hours before doing any vigorous exercise.

Dermal fillers work instantly, so you should start to see the results immediately. However, it can take a few days for the final results to develop.

This is because dermal fillers can cause minor swelling and bruising in the treatment area. We recommend allowing a week or so before expecting to see the final results, to allow for this swelling or bruising to subside.

The dermal fillers are only a temporary treatment and usually last between six and 18 months. How long dermal fillers last depends on a number of factors, including the type of filler and where it is injected.

It varies from person to person. When the hyaluronic acid wears off, it is reabsorbed into the body. The treatment process will then need to be repeated.

Although there is no evidence that indicates dermal fillers are not safe during pregnancy, we do not perform any injectable treatments on patients who are either pregnant or breastfeeding.

Injectable treatments can last up to 4 to 6 months, subject to how your body reacts and varies with individual metabolism, lifestyle, smoking, and sun exposure. Treatment will need to be repeated after 4 to 6 months to maintain results.

Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Prior to injecting, we may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anaesthetic cream. The entire procedure takes 15 minutes. 

Sometimes numbing the area is not needed as the procedure is so fast. Like any injection, you may feel the point of entry but the sensation will be bearable.

We do not recommend taking painkillers or anti-inflammatories before your procedure as these can thin the blood and increase your chance of post treatment bruising.

Botulinum toxin injections are a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that takes around 15 minutes to complete and it has no downtime. Most patients are able to return to their normal routine the same day.
