Anti-Ageing Treatment: Filler Injections

Curious about Filler Injections? Here is everything you need to know about them. A cosmetic treatment, Filler injections, is used to smooth wrinkles in skin, usually on the face. In this technique substances are administered in the skin to fill out or plump up lines on your face that have been created by the loss of elasticity in the skin as you age. By restoring the volume to these areas your skin will look smoother and softer, resulting in a fresher and more youthful appearance. Earlier collagen was used but since it was derived from cattle skin, newer substances such as RESTYLANE, containing hyaluronic acid have become available and are hugely popular.   Areas of Use:

  • Eye Lines
  • Mouth Lines
  • Smile lines on the cheek 
  • Chin Indentations
  • Frown lines between the eyebrows
  • Lip Enhancement
  Each treatment takes about 20 minutes and the results are instantaneous. Local anesthetic is injected prior to the treatment to make it comfortable. Slight redness and swelling may be seen after the treatment but will settle in a couple of days. Occasionally patients may experience some bruising in the area, which also settles with time.   Hyaluronic acid is completely broken down in the skin over time. The effect of the treatment last about 9 months after which top up is advised.   The botulinum injections can be done along with filler injections. This procedure is routinely done at Image medical center.
