Dermal Fillers at The ART Clinic

Introduction to Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a versatile and effective non-surgical solution for enhancing facial features and restoring lost volume. At The ART Clinic, we offer a range of hyaluronic acid fillers, including the Teosyal and Belotero lines, to help you achieve natural-looking, youthful results. We also use Redensity 2 exclusively for tear trough treatments.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, these fillers attract and retain moisture, providing immediate and long-lasting results. Our range includes Teosyal and Belotero fillers, known for their high quality and adaptability to different facial areas.

The Injection Procedure

The procedure for dermal filler injections at The ART Clinic is straightforward and minimally invasive:

  1. Consultation: During your initial consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals, assess your facial structure, and determine the most suitable treatment areas.
  2. Preparation: The treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort during the injections.
  3. Injection: Using a fine needle, small amounts of dermal filler are injected into the targeted areas. In many cases, we use a cannula instead of a needle to ensure safety and reduce the risk of bruising, swelling, and vascular occlusion. The number of injections will depend on the areas being treated.
  4. Post-Treatment: You can resume most normal activities immediately after the procedure, although specific aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure optimal results.

At The ART Clinic, we prioritize your safety and comfort. When appropriate, we use cannulas for filler injections. Cannulas are blunt-tipped instruments that allow for smoother and safer insertion of fillers, minimizing trauma to the tissues and significantly reducing the risk of vascular occlusion. This technique enhances precision and provides natural-looking results.

Uses of Dermal Fillers

1. Cheeks

Enhancing the cheeks with dermal fillers can restore lost volume, create a youthful contour, and add definition to the mid-face area. This treatment can lift the overall appearance and improve facial symmetry. We recommend Teosyal RHA 3 and Belotero Volume for this purpose.

2. Lips

Dermal fillers can add volume, define the lip borders, and enhance the shape of your lips. This treatment can also address asymmetry and restore lost volume as you age, achieving a fuller, more balanced look. We use Teosyal RHA 2 and Belotero Intense for lip enhancements.

3. Tear Troughs

We use Teosyal Redensity 2 exclusively for treating tear troughs. This filler is designed to address under-eye hollows and dark circles, providing a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance by adding subtle volume to the area.

4. Nasolabial Folds

Dermal fillers can smooth out nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth), reducing their depth and creating a more youthful, relaxed expression. We recommend Teosyal Ultra Deep and Belotero Balance for this treatment.

5. Marionette Lines

Treating marionette lines with fillers can lift the corners of the mouth and reduce the appearance of sagging or downturned lines, resulting in a happier, more positive expression. We use Teosyal RHA 3 and Belotero Intense for this area.

6. Jawline

Enhancing the jawline with fillers can add more definition, improve facial proportions, and create a sharper, more sculpted look. This treatment is ideal for those looking to achieve a more contoured jawline. We recommend Teosyal RHA 4 and Belotero Volume for jawline enhancement.

7. Chin

Chin augmentation with fillers can enhance the chin’s shape and size, improve facial balance, and provide a stronger profile. This treatment can also smooth out dimpling and creasing in the chin area. We recommend Teosyal Ultra Deep and Belotero Intense for chin treatments.

8. Temples

Filling in hollow temples can restore lost volume and create a smoother transition between the forehead and the cheekbones, resulting in a more youthful and balanced facial appearance. We use Teosyal Ultra Deep and Belotero Volume for this purpose.

9. Liquid Nose Job

A liquid nose job is a non-surgical procedure that uses dermal fillers to enhance the shape of the nose. This treatment can address concerns such as a dorsal hump, asymmetry, or a drooping nasal tip, providing a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing profile without the need for surgery. We recommend Teosyal Ultra Deep and Belotero Intense for this treatment.

Pre and Post-Care for Dermal Fillers

Pre-Care

  • Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen for 24 hours before your treatment.
  • Inform your provider of any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking.
  • Arrive at the clinic with a clean face, free of makeup and skincare products.

Post-Care

Taking care of your dermal fillers after treatment is essential to ensure optimal results and minimize side effects. Follow these post-treatment care instructions:

  • Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 24-48 hours after treatment.
  • Stay upright for at least four hours following the procedure.
  • Refrain from consuming alcohol or taking blood-thinning medications for 24 hours after treatment.
  • Apply a cold compress to the treated area to reduce swelling and bruising.
  • Avoid makeup for at least 12 hours.
  • Watch for signs of vascular occlusion such as unusual pain, changes in skin color, or persistent swelling. Contact the clinic immediately if you experience these symptoms.
  • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, as hyaluronic acid fillers work by attracting moisture.
  • Apply a high-SPF sunscreen daily to protect the treated areas from sun exposure.
  • Use a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and maintain the filler’s effectiveness.
  • Cleanse your face with a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser to avoid irritation.
  • Follow any additional instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure optimal results.

Expected Results

Results from dermal filler treatments are immediate, with full effects visible within a few days as any swelling subsides. The duration of results varies depending on the type of filler used and the treatment area, but most fillers last between six months to over a year. Regular treatments can help maintain your desired look.

Safety and Side Effects

Dermal fillers are generally safe when administered by experienced professionals. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These side effects usually subside within a few days. Rarely, more serious complications such as vascular occlusion may occur. It is important to monitor for signs of vascular occlusion and contact the clinic immediately if you experience unusual pain, changes in skin color, or persistent swelling. These will be discussed during your consultation.
