Q. How Dermal Fillers work?

Dermal fillers are intended to enhance a person’s facial aesthetics by reducing the appearance of unwanted wrinkles (“filling in”), boosting volume, plumping thin lips, and rejuvenating the skin.

You will receive a topical anesthetic to numb the area. (Some dermal fillers may include an anesthetic.) Injections typically take just a few minutes per site for wrinkles. If you have scars and deep lines you may require multiple injections in order to achieve your desired outcome (i.e., nasolabial folds, marionette lines). To help you remain comfortable, a local anesthetic may be offered if a deeper injection is needed.

Q. How to avoid unnatural, unaesthetic, and exaggerated effects of fillers?

The best method to avoid such effects is to choose a reputable office where treatments in the field of aesthetic medicine are performed by experienced as well as skilled physicians, and physicians only. Our clinic is usually approached by clientele recommended by others, who have already tried our wide range of procedures with satisfactory results. Each procedure is preceded by a consultation on the basis of which the doctor offers treatments adequate to the expectations of customers and at the same time adapted to one’s unique appearance and characteristics.

An individual who has undergone treatments in the field of aesthetic medicine should look a few years younger, rejuvenated, and fully refreshed.

Q. Botox or dermal fillers?

Botox is the preparation used in aesthetic medicine, which contains a powerful neurotoxin – botulinum toxin. It works by weakening or completely disrupting muscle nerve transmission. Botulinum toxin is most commonly used to smooth wrinkles, reduce excessive facial expressions and excessive sweating, or as a treatment to dull or prevent migraines. It is also worth noting that intramuscular injections of Botox are an effective prevention of wrinkle formation. Therefore, the treatment is performed even in people over 25 years of age.

Botox is most often used in the upper parts of the face. As a rule, it finds application in wrinkles arising as a result of dynamic muscle work, so-called mimic wrinkles, which include horizontal and vertical lines of the forehead and crow’s feet.

In turn, hyaluronic acid is most commonly applied to reduce deep nasolabial folds, lip modeling, nose curvature correction, facial contour modeling, and scar reduction. If there are such indications, the physician may decide to combine the above-mentioned methods.

It is possible to smooth out facial features with both treatments. However, keep in mind  that the indications for their administration differ slightly, and it is the physician’s job to  decide which of these methods will be the best option for the patient.

Q. Why is it important to seek treatment by a train medical professional?

Because of the composition of dermal fillers, their unique “biochemical” makeup, the application of local anesthetic, and the “playground” of facial anatomy, these substances are in fact considered medicine and shall be applied only by a clinically trained medical professional.

Faulty injection of the dermal filler may result in a serious damage to the nerves as well as cause poor aesthetic effect after the procedure. If the application of the filler is too shallow, it causes it to show through the skin (Tyndall effect, i.e. permanent bruising). Other complications include shifting the filler to an undesirable site, hematomas, providing too much filler volume, or even as serious conditions as skin necrosis. A relatively frequent complication is the uneven distribution of the preparation and the unsatisfactory end result.

Most often, these types of complications are a consequence of inadequate or insufficient massaging of the injection site, which is one of the most important post-treatment recommendations.
