What are Fillers?
Fillers are a gel-like substance, nowadays typically made up of hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is naturally present in the body. Like a sponge, it absorbs water and keeps the skin’s deeper layers hydrated. It is possible to inject this molecule as a gel to give volume and plump the skin or smooth wrinkles. The HA will mix with those contained in the body and will progressively reabsorb.

The Fillers Treatment
At the outset, you will have a consultation with one of our specialists, during which you will discuss what it is that you would like to achieve from the treatment; that most concerns you, or what you would like to enhance. Based on this consultation, your treating doctor will advise you on the best way to achieve your goals.

Before your procedure a numbing cream can be applied to improve comfort during the injection. During your procedure the Fillers are administered using a very fine needle. A massage of the area will be then be performed to make sure the product is well placed.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does it hurt?While everyone experiences different levels of pain, you may feel some discomfort and needle stick pain.
-
Are there any side effects?There may be some swelling or bruising for a few days. The results commonly improve over time, as the swelling subsides, and the filler settles more naturally – this process often takes up to 2 weeks.
-
Am I suitable for Fillers treatment?This treatment is not suitable for anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding or has severe allergic reactions
-
Fillers Aftercare?The following may assist with recovery and results: Following the instructions provided by our specialists before and after your treatment Stay upright following your treatment for 3-4 hours Avoid sleeping for 3-4 hours after the treatment (to avoid pressing the treated area) Take arnica supplements and apply arnica cream Avoid strenuous exercise following the treatment Limit your sun exposure Apply a cold compress to the treated area Avoid facial treatments or other treatments on the area Should you experience any symptoms, notify us so we can best assist you. To maintain the effect of your treatment, you will require further follow ups.
-
When will I see results?Most patients will notice immediate results following their filler treatment. However, note that it can take 7-10 days to notice the final results, which is when any potential bruising, swelling or redness subsides.
-
How long do the results last?This will depend on your own metabolism. Some people will break down the fillers more quickly than others. A general rule of thumb is that fillers typically last longer in the areas that move the least – such as cheeks, in comparison to lips, which may last a little less time. To maintain the effectiveness of your Fillers treatment, you will require further follow-ups, but you can expect your cheek fillers to last for 6 months and more.
-
What are the benefits of Fillers?Quick – most treatments take approximately 30 minutes to perform. Faster and more effective than creams – the treatment results are much faster than those achieved when using skincare. Long-lasting results – whilst long-lasting, most fillers are not permanent and are reversible. Natural Results – in the hands of the right, medically trained, artistic hands, such is the team selected to work at Euphoria Medical Center©, the results can be very natural and complement your own natural beauty.
