Dermal fillers are growing in popularity as word spreads of this non-surgical, anti-aging treatment.
It may seem like the latest trend, but our experienced doctor and cosmetic nurses have been using dermal fillers for more than 20 years.
We still tend to only stock dermal fillers approved by the New Zealand Society of Cosmetic Medicine (NZSCM).

What are Dermal Fillers?
They are literally “filler” that is injected under your dermis (skin). This injectable solution fills the soft tissue under the skin, plumping up the tissue from behind.
The solution injected is Hyaluronic Acid, a natural substance found throughout the body. The dermal fillers are just more of the same, and over time the body will absorb the substance without any side-effects.
Dermal fillers counteract the effects of aging by smoothing out lines and wrinkles.
They can be used on most areas around the face, adding volume to cheeks, smoothing out laugh lines around the eyes, and adding volume to thin lips.
Depending on the area treated, the filler used, and the person receiving the injections, results can last anywhere from six months to eighteen months.
Dermal fillers are most effective in early signs of aging, or in conjunction with other treatments, such as Botox or Dysport injections.

How do Dermal Fillers work?
They are injections under the skin, which plump out the wrinkles from below. This may sound similar to Botox injections, but the two work in very different ways.
As we age, our skin loses collagen, becoming thinner. This leads to sagging, causing wrinkles to appear. Our skin also loses fat tissue, which causes it to decrease in volume.
Dermal fillers replace this lost collagen and fatty tissue, filling out your skin again, and keeping wrinkles at bay.
Treatments like Botox and Dysport simply stop the muscles from moving, and erase lines that have been caused by the moving muscles.
Our dermal filler treatment starts with a complementary nurse consultation. Once we have had a chat with you to discuss your needs and expectations, we can give you further information and if desired and time available, treatment can be performed on the day or at a later date.
Procedures normally take 30 minutes to one hour.
Like all medical procedures there is a risk of side effects such as bruising and swelling, but with dermal fillers these are very rare and minimal if they do occur.
