Dermal fillers: Are they safe and how quickly will you see results?

It is a sad fact of life that as we grow older, our skin will visibly show the effects of the ageing process. This is usually in the form of fine lines and wrinkles that occur to the loss of elasticity, reduction in collagen and skin becoming thinner. The good news is that the emergence of dermal fillers, such as Juvederm Ultra, can help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Below we explore if you would benefit from dermal fillers, if they are safe and how quickly you will see results.

How women benefit from dermal fillers

Many women benefit greatly from this cosmetic procedure. The dermal filler, which contains hyaluronic acid, is injected just under the skin and this, in turn, helps to plump it up. This helps to smooth out any wrinkles and makes those fine lines disappear. Dermal fillers work well on the cheeks, around the eyes and can also be used on the lips. Skin will appear more smooth and youthful.

How quickly do you see results and do they last?

You can see results straight after treatment, but there may be some residual swelling, so you won’t see true results until after the swelling has gone down. This may take up to 48 hours. Some women may also need more than one treatment, depending upon the area or areas of the face that need to be treated, but this will be discussed with you. As for long-term results, most women find that dermal fillers last anywhere between 6 to 12 months.

How safe is this treatment?

All cosmetic procedures will carry some risk, and these will be fully discussed during your consultation, enabling you to make an informed decision. It is also worth noting that dermal filler should only be administered by a registered nurse who has undergone the required training to minimise the risk involved.
