Dermal Fillers

They work by replacing the skin’s natural supply of hyaluronic acid which diminishes as we age. This leads to the skin becoming less firm, fine lines appearing and that youthful glow fading. At the Hunar Clinic, we only use premium, approved fillers.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) gel is skillfully injected into targeted areas by a trained cosmetic medical practitioner. Areas that are suitable for treatment include the cheeks, lips, eyes (tear trough), mouth, chin, neck and hands.

Your skin naturally produces hyaluronic acid; a substance responsible for delivering and maintaining moisture and nutrient levels in skin cells. With time, your skin’s ability to make hyaluronic acid decreases. When dermal fillers are injected into fine lines, wrinkles or sunken areas of the face, they replenish the hyaluronic acid that has been absorbed into your body. This creates a more refreshed, natural and rejuvenated appearance.

Dermal fillers are not permanent and will break down over time, so further treatment may be required to maintain your natural, understated appearance. Your medical practitioner will give you all the advice you need.

All the dermal fillers used at Hunar Clinic are made from hyaluronic acid, a natural component of our body and skin, which breaks down after around 9 to 18 months.

The treatment is non-invasive with virtually no recovery time and patients can resume to normal activities immediately after treatment. Dermal fillers are only performed by a fully trained medical professional.

Further benefits are:

• Dermal fillers are not permanent and will naturally break down.
• They require no test prior to treatment
• They give a more youthful appearance.
• This treatment can be used to fill minor to moderate lines and fill-in wrinkles and is especially effective around the eyes, nose, and mouth.
• The treatment can be tailored to your needs providing a natural look

More than 10 million treatments have been performed since the launch of the first dermal filler in 1996. Product related reactions are exceptionally rare. Most risks occur after any injection; however, most reactions typically resolve spontaneously a few days after injection to the skin, within a week after injection into the lips.

These reactions include redness, swelling, pain, itching, bruising or tenderness at the injection site. After lip enhancement, lips may swell for up to a week, but this typically reduces after two to three days.

Dermal fillers can be used in the tear trough (under eye) area to reduce hollowing and dark circles under the eyes, resulting in a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Wrinkles around the eyes can be effectively treated using a combination of dermal fillers and muscle relaxants.

Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane restore lost volume to areas of the face by filling out fine lines and wrinkles. There is no evidence that these treatments make wrinkles worse; in fact, evidence suggests they can have a lasting effect on wrinkle reduction as the dermal fillers today are clear hyaluronic gels which closely mimic the natural hyaluronic acid in our skin.

Instant acting – results can be visible by the end of a 30-minute treatment session – dermal fillers can help to smooth fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of ageing, but in a way that is subtle and natural-looking.

Your skin naturally produces hyaluronic acid, a sugar-based compound responsible for delivering and maintaining moisture and nutrient levels in skin cells. This helps in creating volume and smoothness in your skin. Unfortunately, with time, your skin’s ability to manufacture its own hyaluronic acid decreases. When dermal fillers are injected into fine lines, wrinkles, or sunken areas of the face, they replenish the hyaluronic acid that has been absorbed into your body over time, helping you achieve a more youthful appearance.

We believe temporary fillers are the safest and most effective option and do not make permanent fillers available. Permanently filled lips or cheeks may appear out of place as your face changes through age. The longevity of dermal fillers ranges from six to 12 months depending on the brand, thickness and area treated. Individual body factors such as how fast your body metabolises the product also impact the longevity of a filler.

Almost everyone, however, dermal fillers should not be used in or near areas where there is or has been skin disease, inflammation or skin related problems. They are not advised if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and individuals with medical conditions that lower the body’s immune response or individuals undergoing therapy that is immunosuppressive may be more prone to infection by a skin injection procedure. During your pre-treatment consultation, you should thoroughly discuss your medical history with Dr Mittal.
