DERMAL FILLERS

What Are Dermal Fillers? Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Made primarily from hyaluronic acid—a substance naturally found in your body—these treatments provide immediate, natural-looking results that integrate seamlessly with your facial tissues.

How Dermal Fillers Work Hyaluronic acid fillers work by attracting and binding water molecules, creating natural volume where injected. The gel integrates with your tissues, providing structural support while maintaining natural movement. Advanced cross-linking technology ensures longevity while maintaining softness and pliability for authentic results.

Treatment Benefits Dermal fillers offer versatile facial enhancement with immediate visible results. Benefits include restored cheek and temple volume, smoothed nasolabial folds and marionette lines, enhanced lip volume and definition, improved jawline contours, and correction of under-eye hollows. Results appear natural and can be adjusted to achieve your desired outcome.

The Treatment Process Treatment begins with comprehensive facial assessment and marking of injection points. Topical numbing ensures comfort throughout the procedure. Using cannulas or needles, Dr. Heyns strategically places filler to achieve optimal lift and contour. The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes depending on areas treated, with immediate visible improvement.

Post-Treatment Care After treatment, avoid pressure on treated areas for 24 hours and sleep with head elevated the first night. Refrain from strenuous exercise for 48 hours and avoid extreme temperatures for one week. Minor swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves within 3-7 days. Results last 12-18 months depending on product and area treated.
