Fillers
Overview
Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid (HA) are injectable hyaluronic acid (IHA). Hyaluronic acid is abundant in the joints, eyes, and skin, with the highest concentrations. Hyaluronic acid draws water to the skin, making it more supple. HA is what keeps our faces youthful, and this is what is injected in fillers. It is synthetic but acts just as our natural HA does and allows for "revolumizing" and lifting the face, plumping out the hollows of ageing and sagging, contouring to help redefine the beauty of youth. Fillers address looking tired, saggy, and sad and generally make one look more youthful and attractive.
Fillers do not reduce wrinkles. Fillers are there to give you the hyaluronic acid which you have lost, which plumps and volumises the face. Therefore, fillers "revolumize" the face and cause anti-ageing. By "revolumizing" the face, we lift what has been sagging or losing volume over time. Fillers target different areas of concern and utilise different modalities compared to wrinkle reduction. Preventing volume loss and sagging earlier in the ageing process is possible with HA fillers, which can stimulate collagen production for a more youthful appearance.

As a result, Dr Nadine prefers to create individualised one-year treatment plans for each patient to ensure a more gradual, natural-looking, and cost-effective approach to cosmetic surgery.
Dr Nadine will examine your skin and discuss your concerns and goals during your first appointment. Before making a decision, she may inquire about your medical history and lifestyle.

Procedure
Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into specific areas of the face to add volume and delay the onset of age-related changes. The aim of fillers is also to make a face more youthful and attempt to make a person look between five and ten years more youthful to try and reverse ageing. The success of this procedure is highly dependent on the patient's age, genetics, medical history, aesthetic goals, and financial resources.
Risks & Recovery
Risks associated with fillers are minor but possible. Risks for hyaluronic acid fillers can include bruising and swelling at injection sites, which are common to all injections, but this is typically self-contained depending on the person.
