Cosmetic Dermal-Fillers & Treatment in Cheshire
People age at different rates which is influenced by genes, environment and general lifestyle. As a person grows older, the skin on the face becomes drier and loses its elasticity. Typically the skin around the lower section of the face gets baggy because the fat moves down. The chin is, particularly affected by this dropping fat. Another common sign of ageing is wrinkles and expression lines.
Cosmetic dermal fillers are now available to treat sagging skin, wrinkles and deep lines.
How do Cosmetic Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers are manufactured from bacteria that closely resemble the naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid. These bacteria help the skin retain more water, and this makes it smooth and tight.
The cosmetic treatment will start off with a discussion on what results you wish to see and determine which filler to use and how we should deliver the treatment. The fillers are injected in specific sections of the skin where you wish to correct wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Local anaesthesia may be used to reduce discomfort during the procedure.
Cosmetic fillers work temporarily and usually last for a period of 6 to 18 months.
What Risks am I exposed to through Cosmetic Dermal Fillers?
Risks associated with cosmetic dermal fillers are minimal. Our clinicians will use small amounts of the dermal fillers at a time, and these are carefully injected into the skin.
All the fillers are made of safe ingredients and will not cause any infections or allergic reactions to your body. It is important to note that all types of cosmetic dermal fillers have risks, although negligible. You can expect the treatment to stabilise in 2 or 3 days.
Occasionally, cosmetic dermal fillers cause a lump on the face. After the first three days, you can massage any visible lumps which reduce naturally.

Advantages of Cosmetic Dermal Fillers
Advantages over other treatment options which include:
- The treatment is inexpensive and the results last for a considerable period of time.
- It does not result in any side effects and comes with no real risk to your health
- You can resume your normal schedules right after treatment. Unlike surgery, these fillers will not require you to spend time recovering.
- The treatment can be used to fix minor details that would not warrant surgery.

You can combine the treatment with anti-ageing products to give you an even more natural look. If you have ever had cold sores, you should let our doctors know before the procedure is started. The needles might potentially cause a new eruption of the condition.
Recovery from Cosmetic Dermal Filler Treatment
You will not need time to recover after the treatment. However, you shouldn’t engage in serious workouts within 24 hours of the procedure. Swelling is common after the treatment and some people experience an itchy feel in the first few hours of treatment but this will subside. It is important to avoid scratching or even massaging the face.
You shouldn’t experience any significant pain because of the treatment. Avoid using make-up for at least 12 hours which will allow the affected sections of your face to heal. After a few hours, the skin will settle and you can get back to using your beauty products. Makeup can potentially cause infections in the treated areas. Instead, you should clean your face using soap-free cleansers and water.
Avoid alcohol for at least 6 hours after the procedure is completed. Extreme temperatures will also affect the treatments negatively.
You can further take care of your skin by following these tips:
- Use sunscreen when going to the beach or spending long periods in the sun
- Spend some time working out every week
- Avoid smoking and drinking
- Eat a well-balanced diet
- Avoid making repetitive facial expressions
- Be gentle when washing your face
