Frequently Asked Questions
How do dermal fillers at So Medical work?
When we are young, levels of collagen and elastin production are high in the skin, but as we age that production drops away. As a result, volume is lost in the skin, leaving us with a gaunt, more tired appearance. Dermal fillers replenish the skin with high levels of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that binds water within the skin, replacing lost volume while smoothing facial lines.
Does dermal filler treatment hurt?
You will be offered a topical numbing cream before treatment begins, ensuring that any discomfort is minimised.
Are dermal fillers safe?
Dermal fillers are considered to be extremely safe. Because hyaluronic acid is a natural bodily product, allergic reactions are very rare. Though risk of complications is low, your treatment will be performed by a registered nurse and prescriber, able to manage anything that arises in the clinic.
How should I care for the area following treatment?
- Don’t pull at or otherwise touch the treatment area until healing is complete
- Don’t apply make-up for at least 12 hours
- Stay away from intense heat sources, such as saunas or hot showers
- Avoid physical exercise for 48 hours.
How long do the results last?
This varies from person to person, ranging from 6-22 months depending on area treated and product used.
