What is a Dermal Filler?
When a patient seeks a plumper appearance to a particular part of their body, a gel can be injected into the skin allowing the body to be reshaped. This minimally invasive procedure can be used to smooth out wrinkles, smile lines and signs of ageing, as well as being used for more prominent features such as acting as Lip Fillers. The rising popularity of this cosmetic treatment has encouraged many patients to research the methods and in some cases do not take the plunge due to being misinformed about the safe and effective procedure.
Can the filler in Harley Street be removed?
When going down the route of having dermal fillers it is necessary for the patient to understand that this particular procedure lasts for approximately 6 to 12 months and would need to be readministered after this amount of time to keep the desired effects. Once the effects breakdown and begin to wear off it is up to the patient whether they desire to continue to keep up with the treatment or not. If they do then follow-up treatments to plump up the look will be booked in at regular intervals, depending on the area and individual patient.
Whilst most patients are happy with the effects of dermal fillers, there are occasions where a reversal is required and therefore it is important to know that this is possible. In cases where the appearance is undesired or the outcome is not what was expected an enzyme injection can be administered into the area and over the course of 4 to 6 hours the effects will have broken down. Whilst this is also not a painful procedure it is important that the patient considers the options before undertaking any of the procedures.
Are Dermal FIllers only administered by Dentists or can anyone do it?
Whilst it is possible for an untrained individual to administer the dermal fillers into the body, in order to gain the exact desired results it is recommended to seek someone with professional experience and quality controls. For instance, dental practices have licences and quality control protocols on all aspects of dental care and aesthetic treatments such as Lip Fillers in Harley Street. By having these measures in place the patient can rest assured that they are being administered a safe, non-counterfeit gel into their body rather than one that may have not passed specific requirements. The dental practice would also have knowledge on the anatomy of the face, including where specific muscles and blood vessels are. With this sense of security and quality control in place, patients will know that they are in safe hands and should the end result be undesirable in their eyes, can be dealt with quickly and efficiently within the same place.
Please note, as with all treatments and procedures there are potential risks. Therefore all patients are advised to seek further information and advice on any mentioned in this article with their local dental practice.
