Dermal Fillers: Frequently Asked Questions

Dermal Fillers: Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Sessions Will I Need, And How Far Apart Can I Have Them?
The procedure takes around 30-45 minutes and patients can expect to notice the effects for as long as 18 months after treatment. There is even precedence of results lasting up to 24 months in some cases.
Am I A Suitable Candidate?
Dermal fillers can be used on a wide range of patients, and is primarily used for skin rejuvenation and the reduction of lines and wrinkles. It can also be used to treat scarring in some cases. Other suitable candidates are those seeking to add structure and volume to the face. There is no known risk to those who are pregnant or breast feeding, but we would advise against having treatment under these circumstances.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Crow’s Feet
These are wrinkles that form in the corner of the eyes. They can be caused by ageing, sun exposure, expressions and smoking.
Frown Lines
When we contract our forehead muscles, deep lines can materialise. Also referred to as an “11”, frown lines form in between your eyebrows. Over time, these lines start to linger and prove to be a bugbear for many.
Smoker’s Lines
The use of fillers can smooth and fill out these crepey lines, creating a much softer, younger-looking appearance.
Marionette Lines
Located just below the corners of the mouth, the marionette lines can make you look sad or angry when relaxing your face.
Lips
Thin lips are not necessarily a result of ageing; many men and women are born with thinner lips. If you would like to add volume, but avoid an exaggerated look, Dr. Matteo Vigo uses the most advanced lip fillers to enhance your natural lip shape.
Nasolabial Fold
Also referred to as “smile lines”, these lines run down the sides of the nose to the corner of the mouth. Most of us notice these when smiling, laughing or talking, but over time they can develop into static lines.
Cheeks
Ageing usually contributes to volume loss. The round, full look diminishes as the fat pads in our cheeks gravitate downward. Cheek Fillers can be used to plump up the skin.
Décolletage
Inevitably, the skin loses its elasticity and firmness over time. Sun damage in particular can contribute to this aged look on the chest area, and the thinning of the skin can amplify the neck bands, adding years to your appearance.”
What If Any, Are The Side Effects?
With any injectable treatment, there can be some slight bruising or swelling that accompanies it. This should not persist much longer than a day, and is easily cover-able with makeup.
Will My Face Be Lumpy After Treatment?
This is a possible side-effect to treatment, yes. Patients are not advised to massage the area themselves, as this may move the product. After a few weeks, your clinician will invite you back to make minor adjustments, if needed. They use a special massage technique which settles the product and what is left will be the final result.
Will My Family And Friends Notice I’ve Had Work Done?
9 times out of 10, family and friends won’t notice cosmetic treatment, instead recognising (especially with dermal fillers) a more youthful or refreshed look. I aim to leave the patient with a look that enhances natural assets, rather than distorting them, and treat all patients with this in mind.
Because it’s your body
Cosmetic Surgery Dubai | 1 December 2019
People have always been concerned about their outer appearance since the beginning of civilization. To offer such people a better look, doctors of the ancient times also took the efforts to find out new ways of performing aesthetic surgeries. Cosmetic surgery is elective surgery that is only for the purpose of improving a person’s appearance and/or removing signs of aging. Nearly 18 million cosmetic procedures were performed in 2018, with the five most common surgeries being Breast Augmentation, Liposuction, Breast Reduction, Eyelid Surgery and Abdominoplasty.
Cosmetic surgeons also learned in ancient ages new ways to augment the breast shape and size in women. Uplifting the breasts through specially designed outfits was already famous during that time. Many women then used corsets and brassieres to enhance the look of their breasts. In the 19th century, surgeons first performed the breast enlargement procedure by using artificial implants made from rubber, paraffin, ivory and glass.
The first and main benefit of cosmetic surgery is that it helps to align your natural appearance with your desired appearance. Another advantage to cosmetic surgery is that it produces results which often last a long time or are permanent. However, you must keep in mind that you have to look after yourself after the procedures in order to make them more long-lasting. For example, if you undergo a tummy tuck surgery or a liposuction reshaping procedure – it’s highly advised that you stick to a healthy and active lifestyle to maintain your results. Another advantage of cosmetic surgery procedure is that in some cases it can enhance your physical health. By fixing your appearance, you will automatically have an improved self-esteem. This does wonders for your social life and your mental health. Being confident in the way you look makes you feel better in all aspects of life. This is one of the greatest benefits of cosmetic surgery for many patients.
Many people who consider cosmetic surgery are hesitant because of the fear of the ‘extreme pain’ that is often associated with cosmetic surgery. While cosmetic surgery is not painless, it is not as painful as it is believed to be. This is true now more than ever because of the recent and ongoing advances in technology. The procedures have been improved to reduce the feelings of pain – bringing a feeling of reassurance to many. Above all choosing the right cosmetic surgeon is the main factor to avoid the pain and the fear. It can sometimes be difficult to find someone you can trust with the procedure, as your life and appearance lies in his/her hands. He/she must be experienced and have good reviews, always check his/her credentials and curriculum in order to select the right cosmetic surgeon with peace of mind
