Dermal fillers give great results ,we use the swiss range Teoxane incorporating the latest hyaluronic filler technology in their RHA long chain range. Dermal Filler can be used to correct asymmetry, volumise and contour the face as well as rejuvenate the skin. Dermal fillers offer natural and beautiful results.
Our aesthetic is natural and we avoid over volumising. Fillers done well will leave you looking refreshed with undetectable results. The effects are immediate (full results will take 3 to 4 weeks to be seen) and last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.
Here are some of the areas we can treat with dermal fillers , cheeks, nasolabial lines, marionette lines,temples,, smile lines, jawline, tear troughs (under eye circles) chin, lips and hands.
Fillers are priced from $750 per ml with discount for 2 or more fillers
What are dermal fillers used for?
To add volume back to your face, improve skin quality and fine lines. Over time, areas of the face naturally lose volume as a part of the aging process. By injecting a filler into these areas of the face, we can smooth out wrinkles and folds by adding back that precious volume that has been lost.
At Vital Face and Vein, we use the best technology available on the market. The Teoxane range of fillers are manufactured in Switzerland and include the unique patented long-chain hyaluronic acid fillers Resilient Hyaluronic Acid or RHA.
What areas can be treated?
• Marionette lines
• Corners of the mouth (smoker’s lines)
• Lip borders and vertical lip lines
• Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
• Cheek definition and rejuvenation
• Tear troughs
• Fine lines
• Facial symmetry
How is the filler injected?
Our advanced dermal fillers from Teoxane are placed in the skin to restore or correct missing volume Our treatments are designed to look natural, resulting in a healthy and rejuvenated appearance.
Unlike wrinkles (which require muscle relaxants to soften them), facial volume loss and folds require a dermal filler to help restore this volume loss and hydrate the area.
Dermal fillers are an excellent treatment to smooth away wrinkles, improve facial contours, hydrate and smooth lips or refresh your skin. Lip fillers are able to define and restore lost volume to lips.The filler can be used to an enhance and define your lips. Dermal fillers are generally an easy treatment and numbing may be used to increase comfort either as a cream applied prior to treamnet or small injections of local anaesthetic.
Following treatment there may be minor side effects such as swelling or bruising. Most side effects settle within a day or two.
When will I see results?
You will see immediate results of the injections after the procedure. Although, you may have some swelling right after the treatment, so your face will appear more volumised. Within a few days, the swelling will go down. It can take up to 4 weeks for the filler to hydrate and fully integrate into the skin and the final result is seen.
How long does it last?
Generally, the effects last for about 12-24 months, but this varies slightly from patient to patient. Injections may be repeated as necessary.
Be in safe hands for your treatment
What are the side effects?
The side effects are minimal, but common side effects can include localized pain, inflammation, redness, itching, bruising and/or swelling. These are all normal side effects and disappear within a few days. Serious complications are very rare, and the doctor will go through all risks at the time of your consultation.
How much downtime is required?
Usually there is very little social downtime after a treatment. You may have some swelling, numbness and redness for a few hours following the procedure, but you will be able to go back about your daily activities as soon as you feel comfortable with how you look.
Do dermal fillers hurt?
The products have anaesthetic incorporated into them, so this will numb the area as the area is treated. Most patients find the discomfort of the treatment acceptable. However, we recommend purchasing a numbing cream such as emla from the pharmacy and applying the cream to the area that is to be treated one hour prior to your appointment. In some instances, numbing injections may be used.
How much does it cost?
Each patient’s needs are different, so there is no one set cost. We will assess your personal needs and let you know how much your treatment will cost. Treatments generally start from approximately $795 for 1ml of filler.
Can dermal fillers and Botox® be used together?
Yes. The mechanism of action for Teosyal is different from Botox® because Teosyal dermal filler adds back volume whereas Botox® simply stops muscle contraction. These very different methods yielding very different results. However, these popular injectables are often used together to give you greater results. Botox ® prevents new wrinkles from forming and Teosyal to fill the ones that you already have. Additionally, studies have shown that by combining these two the results of the treatment will last longer. By minimizing muscle contractions with a neuromodulator, the effects of a filler last longer. During your consultation, our doctor will let you know if this combination will work for you.
