What are they?
Dermal fillers are a range of different substances that are injected into lines and wrinkles to ‘fill' these deficits in the skin and create a more pleasing appearance.
How long do they last?
This will vary depending on the product used and on the individual. On average the effects should last between three to six months.
Is it painful?
We routinely use a topical anaesthetic to ensure that there is minimal discomfort during the injection of fillers.
How long does the treatment take?
It depends on the areas being treated and how much product is required. It is usual for the procedure to take between 45 minutes to one hour.
When will I notice results?
With some fillers there is an immediate difference in appearance to the treated areas, but, this is not usually the final result. It will take the product a couple of weeks to settle before the end result is seen.
What are the risks associated with this treatment?
As with all treatments at Snowberry Lane Clinic any risks will be thoroughly discussed with you prior to the treatment. The injection of fillers is only carried out by Nursing or Medical staff who have received specialist training.
