Cosmetic procedures are nothing new to those living in Sydney, however who is doing the work, the quality and the procedures themselves are rapidly changing as new technology is constantly being developed.  Dermal Fillers are some of this new technology that is at the forefront of cosmetic surgery and the youth rejuvenating that is sweeping Sydney.

So what exactly are dermal fillers and why has it become the newest choice for both surgeons and patients?  Dermal fillers are used to fill and in some cases, replaced lost volume in the lines, folds and static wrinkle areas of the face that most commonly show age.  Because dermal fillers are not like anti-wrinkle injections (Botox), they do not paralyze or affect the muscles in the face or facial controls.  Dermal fillers are designed to work on the wrinkles, folds and lines of resting muscles, not the ones that appear during facial expressions.  Because Facial volume loss is one of the major factors in aging and how others appear you to be aging, dermal fillers can help to replenish and build this lost volume in your face, giving you a younger, more vibrant look.  Dermal fillers are also good for rebuilding lost facial volume, they can be used to define, enhance or enlarge lips and to specifically target and shape specific sections of the face, like the cheeks, chin and nose.  Most treatments last from 4 to 24 months and because this isn’t’ surgery, the effects are completely reversible.

The procedure itself is fairly straightforward and can be done on a lunch break with no immediate side effects.  To prepare the day of, remove all makeup prior to the treatment.  A thin cream can be applied to the face for up to 30 minutes to numb the area if desired and local anesthesia may also be injected directly into the area.  The dermal filler is injected directly into the area that needs to be shaped using the finest needles and worked into the area.  The total procedure takes only about thirty minutes and is done on an outpatient basis.

Dermal fillers are an ideal choice for non-surgical treatment with near immediate results for a fraction of the cost of surgery, and without the long and painful recovery times.  Utilizing dermal fillers is an easy way to enhance and beautify your looks with a completely natural substance that will achieve a long lasting and visually noticeable difference.
