As we age, it’s natural to notice changes in our skin. However, if you’re struggling to accept these changes and they’re impacting your self-perception negatively, why not explore potential solutions?
At Refine Aesthetics, we have successfully helped numerous individuals transform their lives through our remarkable dermal filler injections. Our treatments not only rejuvenate your skin but also enhance your self-assurance. With our extensively trained medical team, you can regain the joy of looking in the mirror and feeling content with the reflection that greets you.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments for lips, cheeks, jawline and other areas to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. At Refine Aesthetics we used the safest and highest quality products possible from leading suppliers, and our medical injectors will create a bespoke annual treatment plan that is at unique as you are.
By instantly increasing volume and eliminating wrinkles and creases, dermal filler works to smoothen the targeted area. As the filler gradually integrates beneath the skin, the desired results become noticeable within a matter of days.
Dermal fillers provide an excellent option for cosmetic procedures, specifically targeting the reduction of wrinkles. These treatments are non-invasive and efficient, involving the use of a small needle to inject precise areas of your face. The non-surgical nature of dermal fillers ensures minimal downtime following your appointment.
Dermal fillers are a cost-effective alternative for those who wish to improve their appearance without the expense and recovery time of surgical procedures. Dermal fillers are a reasonable substitute that can deliver outstanding results with little danger and recovery time.
Dermal fillers provide lasting results, often between six months to a year, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. This longevity makes dermal fillers a cost-effective solution for maintaining a youthful appearance.
The results of dermal filler facial contouring are reversible, which is another advantage. An enzyme called hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve the dermal filler if a patient is dissatisfied with the treatment’s results. As a result, dermal fillers offer patients the opportunity to experiment with various facial features without being worried about long-term or permanent effects.
Cosmetic injections like Dermal Fillers are a big decision. That’s why Refine Aesthetics offers a consultation free of charge to all of our patients in Belfast. This gives you an opportunity to discuss your treatment options without any pressure.
As we get older, the temple region tends to decrease in size, leading to a hollowed look in the upper part of the face. To address this, dermal fillers can be employed to restore volume in this specific area.
The presence of tear troughs, which are dark circles under the eyes, can result from a loss of volume in that particular area. This can give an impression of aging and fatigue. By using filler in this region, it is possible to restore a smooth and seamless transition from the eyes to the cheeks.
As time passes, the fat pad in the cheeks, also known as the “malar fat pad,” tends to descend due to a decrease in volume. This can significantly impact various facial regions. Dermal fillers can be used to enhance and contour the cheekbones while replenishing volume in areas where it has diminished.
Beginning at the sides of the nose and extending down to the corners of the mouth, these folds can become more prominent as the cheeks descend, resulting in deeper creases. By using dermal fillers, this specific region is supported, helping to restore balance and harmony to the middle area of the face.
Vertical lip lines, which can be found on both the upper and lower lips, can be significantly enhanced through the use of dermal fillers. The application of dermal fillers can greatly improve the appearance of these lines.
Due to pressure from the mid face and the continuous pull of a muscle called the Depressor Anguli Oris, this specific area can become more prominent and start to droop downwards. This can impart a sad and aged appearance to the face.
Lips possess various appealing attributes, such as their border, volume, balance, and symmetry. Dermal fillers can be utilized to enhance the appearance of younger lips by adding volume and improving their overall aesthetics. Additionally, dermal fillers can also be used to restore volume to aging lips, rejuvenating their appearance.
If the jawline lacks definition or appears less prominent, dermal filler can be applied around the jaw area to enhance its shape and contour. This can help create a more defined and aesthetically pleasing jawline.
In certain cases, the chin may appear small or recessed, making it less noticeable in the lower part of the face. Dermal fillers can be used in the chin area to add volume and elongate the face, ultimately creating the illusion of a more defined profile.
Jowls occur due to collagen and elastin loss, causing sagging in the lower face. Fillers can restore a defined jawline and harmonise the facial appearance.
Dermal filler treatments have become a popular cosmetic solution for those seeking to restore lost volume to various areas of their face. As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity, firmness, and volume due to a variety of factors including gravity, genetics, and environmental factors such as sun exposure and pollution. Over time, the fat pads in certain areas of the face begin to physically degrade, leading to hollow or sunken areas such as the cheeks, under-eye area, and temples.
Dermal Fillers can last up to three to six months and, in some cases, longer depending on the body’s metabolism. The longevity of results can be influenced by the high activity of the lips, as they are constantly in use.
Common side effects of Dermal Fillers may occur within 24 hours after the treatment, including swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness. Immediate side effects typically subside within a few days, although certain types of fillers may require a few weeks for full resolution. To ensure optimal results, we recommend a complimentary review appointment at Refine Aesthetics two weeks after treatment.
During the injection process, Dermal Fillers may cause a slight pinch and a sensation of pressure or mild stinging. Pain tolerance varies among individuals, and if necessary, a topical anaesthetic can be obtained from your Pharmacist prior to treatment.
Following a Dermal Filler treatment at Refine Aesthetics, it is essential to adhere to our post-treatment recommendations for the best outcomes. Our experienced medical team offers the following aftercare advice:
– Maintain an upright position for four hours after treatment and avoid lying down to allow the product to settle properly.
– Refrain from undergoing any skin treatments such as Microdermabrasion, Skin Needling, or Dermal Rolling for two weeks following Dermal Fillers.
– Avoid using active skincare products like Retinol for at least five days after treatment.
– Prior to and after treatment, avoid alcohol and painkillers like ibuprofen, as they can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising.
– Refrain from exercising for 24 hours after treatment, especially activities involving inverted poses (e.g., yoga, pilates, barre) and those that induce sweating, as the Dermal Filler needs time to settle.
– Avoid exposing your skin to extreme heat or cold, including saunas, spas, steam rooms, hot yoga, ice baths, or skiing, as temperature changes can lead to excessive touching or rubbing of the face, potentially affecting the treated areas.
– Do not massage or apply pressure to the face, as it can interfere with the settling of the product. Use gentle strokes when cleansing the skin, applying skincare products, and makeup.
Common side effects of Dermal Fillers may occur within 24 hours after the treatment, including swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness. Immediate side effects usually resolve within a few days, although the duration may vary depending on the type of dermal filler used. To discuss your treatment results, we highly recommend scheduling a complimentary review appointment at Refine Aesthetics two weeks after the treatment.
