Dermal Filler

Dermal filler is a sugar based gel made of Hyaluronic acid (HA), a carbohydrate naturally present in our bodies. HA breaks down into carbohydrates and water and is excreted from the body via the natural process of metabolism. It is the main component of giving our skin structure and providing hydration.

 The dermal fillers we use at Belle Aesthetics are semi-permanent; they are held in the body by a non-animal form of stabilizer and are metabolized and excreted over time.

 

The longevity of dermal filler depends on the type used. We use several different types of filler ranging in structure for different areas of the face. The more structural a filler is, the longer it will last in the body. For example, a more structural filler would be used for the jawline and chin, whereas a softer product would be required for the lips.

It is important to consider the structure and elasticity of the filler to determine how flexible it will remain within the tissue. This is an important consideration as we want the filler to move with your facial expressions and not look unnatural.

 

Dermal filler is purchased per 1ml syringe. The amount used depends on the desired outcome. Lips, for example, require a maximum of 1ml of product, whereas for an anti-aging treatment, it is common to use 3-5 syringes of product. To put this into context, that is up to a teaspoon of filler spread over the face, in multiple sessions to create an overall lifted and sculpted effect.
