Injecting more beauty into lives
with Hyaluronic Acid
Replacing lost volume is crucial in facial rejuvenation because, as we age, our skin loses fat, collagen, and bone support, leading to sagging, hollow areas, and a tired appearance. Restoring volume helps to lift the skin, smooth out wrinkles, and create a more youthful, balanced contour. It enhances the natural structure of the face, complementing other treatments like skin tightening, resurfacing, and muscle relaxation, which are the other pillars of aesthetic medicine. Together, they provide a more comprehensive and harmonious rejuvenation result.

Chin.
A well-defined jawline and chin are key features that enhance masculinity and attractiveness in men by creating a strong, angular facial structure.
These features contribute to a more confident, dominant appearance, which is often associated with traditional ideals of male attractiveness.
A pronounced jaw and chin also add symmetry and balance to the face, which is subconsciously perceived as more appealing. Through aesthetic treatments, such as fillers or implants, these facial aspects can be accentuated to achieve a more chiseled and masculine look.
Superior Safety with Ultrasound Guided Injections
Ultrasound improves the safety of facial dermal filler injections by allowing precise visualization of underlying blood vessels and facial anatomy. This helps practitioners avoid critical structures, reducing the risk of vascular complications like inadvertent injection into blood vessels. Real-time imaging also enables better filler placement, ensuring more accurate and safer results.

FAQ
How long do dermal fillers last?
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the type used, the area treated, and the individual’s metabolism. Most hyaluronic acid-based fillers last between 6 to 18 months. Some fillers, like those used for deeper volume restoration, may last up to 2 years.
Is the procedure painful?
Dermal filler injections typically cause mild discomfort. Many fillers contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to minimize pain. A topical anesthetic cream may also be applied before the procedure to reduce discomfort further.
Are there any side effects or risks?
Common side effects include swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site, which typically resolve within a few days. Rare but more serious risks include infection, allergic reactions, or vascular complications (blockage of a blood vessel), which can lead to skin damage if not treated promptly.
How long does the treatment take?
A dermal filler treatment usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of areas being treated and the complexity of the procedure. There is minimal downtime, and most patients return to normal activities the same day.
What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
Botox and dermal fillers are both injectable treatments but serve different purposes. Botox relaxes muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. Dermal fillers add volume to smooth out static wrinkles and enhance facial contours. They can often complement each other when used in combination.
Can dermal fillers be reversed?
Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if the patient is unhappy with the results or if complications occur. This is not possible for non-hyaluronic acid fillers, which are more permanent and may require other corrective procedures.
What should I do before and after the procedure?
Before treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications (like aspirin and ibuprofen), alcohol, and supplements that may increase bruising. After the procedure, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and heat (e.g., saunas) for 24-48 hours. Ice can be applied to reduce swelling.
Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?
Good candidates for dermal fillers are individuals who want to enhance their facial features, restore lost volume, or smooth wrinkles. It is important that patients have realistic expectations and are in overall good health. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is essential to determine the best treatment plan based on individual needs.
