What is the purpose of facial fillers?
Facial fillers, which are also known as dermal fillers, are used for aesthetic and cosmetic purposes. Facial fillers are designed and work towards providing volume and fullness to selected areas of the face. This smooths skin and eliminates signs of ageing. Facial aesthetics in Colchester are used to treat areas such as skin folds and wrinkles and provide a youthful finish once completed. In assisting with this a dermal filler is used in the form of an injection and it is placed into the desired area, sterile instruments and special equipment are used to reduce the risk of side effects. At The Dental Studio we offer various facial aesthetic treatments such as anti wrinkle injections, neck lifts, dermal fillers and many more. Dermal fillers are one of the most popular treatments at The Dental Studio; if you are interested please contact our practice for facial aesthetics in Colchester. 
What does the procedure of facial fillers include?
The facial filler treatment is a short procedure and it involves injecting a chemical substance known as hyaluronic acid into the skin. This aims to reduce the signs of ageing such as labial folds and crow’s feet. This process works its way into the skin by plumping the target areas to diminish the lines and wrinkles. This leaves a patient with a smooth, young and natural looking finish.
At The Dental Studio Restylane gel is used as the main substance. One of the benefits of using hyaluronic acid is that it is a naturally occurring component produced by the skin, which gradually decreases as an individual gets older. Hyaluronic acid helps to fix the damaged tissue and maintain the skin’s hydration. It also has the capability to bind with collagen. Collagen is also a natural component within the skin like hyaluronic acid, however its role is to maintain the skin’s elasticity while it supports the facial skin.
When performing facial aesthetics in Colchester we convert our hyaluronic acid into gel formula. This helps the gel last longer once it is injected into the skin. The treatment effects usually last around the 6-9 month range, but this is different for every single individual.
What are the benefits that follow from the treatment?
There are various advantages when receiving facial filler treatment. One of the common benefits of receiving facial fillers is that there is minimal risk associated with the procedure. The most common side effects of dermal fillers are swelling, redness and potential bruising. However, these are minor risks and eventually disappear within the next few days. Severe side effects are far less common, as the procedure is conducted carefully and precisely, therefore the outcomes are good.
Another benefit is that the treatment leads to long-lasting results based around the type of filler used and where it was used. Fillers can last for around 6-18 months and in other cases dependent on the filler, can last for a few years. However, it is highly advised to get short- term fillers to see if it is something you like and will continue to stick to. Fillers can be placed on different areas of the face; it is recommended to try different areas to get an idea of how the fillers will enhance your appearance in the best way, recommended by your practitioner.
