Typical Dermal Filler Treatments

For those people who have never experienced a dermal filler treatment, there will be many questions to be asked. I know I would certainly want to know more before I received any treatment.

At Glasgow Facial Aesthetics, we like to put our client minds at rest and will be only too happy to answer any questions you may have about dermal fillers, botox or any other facial treatment. So please contact us.

We are frequently asked about the procedure involved before, during and after dermal fillers treatments. So here is a quick reference guide of what to expect.

Before treatment
Start by making an appointment with us for a FREE consultation by either calling us on 0141-959-2562 or emailing us on info@glasgowfacialaesthetics.co.uk or by completing the contact form on our website.
Once booked in for your consultation, be prepared to discuss your treatment expectations. After discussion of what you wish to achieve and assessment of your treatment needs, Jason Fisher will recommend which treatment is most suitable for you.
After the consultation, and if you are happy to proceed, Jason will help you complete a medical assessment and you will need to sign a consent form before treatment can progress.

During treatment
The dermal filler is injected into the skin in small amounts using a very fine needle. The gel provides natural volume to smooth away the appearance of lines and wrinkles, enhance facial shape, or create fuller lips. Dermal fillers improve the elasticity and texture of skin, restoring and maintaining the skins hydrobalance.
The treatment is quick, typically taking about 15-30 minutes. Treatments with dermal fillers do not affect facial expression and the benefits can normally be seen instantly.

After treatment
Dermal fillers are biodegradable, which means they will naturally disappear in the body. To ensure an optimal and long lasting result, a top-up treatment is recommended six to twelve months after your initial dermal filler treatment. This will be discussed during the consultation with Jason. And a follow-up appointment can be arranged.
After a treatment some reactions might occur, these include; are slight redness, swelling, itching, bruising, pain and tenderness. The reactions are generally mild to moderate and usually disappear shortly after injection. They typically resolve spontaneously within one or two days, but for some treatments they may last longer.
