DERMAL FILLERS
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are a non-surgical treatment that can restore lost volume, enhance facial features and create a more balanced, refreshed appearance. Made from hyaluronic acid, dermal fillers can be used to enhance the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline and provide subtle nose enhancement without surgery.
Whether you want to smooth age-related volume loss, improve facial symmetry or reshape the nose with non-surgical nose enhancement, Dr Sultan tailors every treatment to your individual features. Results are visible immediately, with little downtime and natural-looking outcomes.

Additional information

Nose filler is ideal for smoothing a prominent hump or refining an inharmonious shape, creating a softer, more balanced profile. This non-surgical treatment offers immediate results with minimal downtime, enhancing facial harmony without the need for surgery.
-
Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid, in gel-like consistency, used as a cosmetic treatment to treat wrinkles and add volume to the face (cheeks, chin, jaw, temples, nasolabial folds and lips) to help enhance and contour. There are several different types of fillers, which your practitioner can talk to you about to choose the one most suitable for you.

Dermal fillers are an excellent way to enhance your natural features and target signs of ageing, such as volume loss. For best results the treatment is best paired with antiwrinkle treatment (Botox®) to help soften fine lines and wrinkles, whilst Morpheus8® helps stimulate collagen and improves skin elasticity and texture. SkinPen® stimulates collagen, targets fine lines and improves the appearance of scarring. Fillers can be paired with platelet rich plasma PRP treatment such as a Vampire Facial for superior results.

A week before treatment stop all use of irritant topical products (Acids, Retinol, Vitamin C or scrubs)
If you are taking blood thinners, including NSAIDs such as Asprin or Ibuprofen, you should discuss with your doctor whether it is possible to discontinue their use throughout the course of your treatment.
On arrival
Dr Sultan will undertake an initial consultation to understand any of your concerns and to review your medical history, after which the treatment area will be photographed.
Once a treatment plan is agreed, he will administer the anaesthetic cream and filler, after which there will be a number of small red bumps at the injection sites. These bumps usually settle down within hours and within 24 hours, should not be visible. The swelling as a result of the procedure is a combination of minimal inflammation and the anaesthetic in the filler product. The swelling will settle after a few days.
Results
The effects of the treatment commence within 3-5 days and it is normal for it to take between 10-12 days for the full effect of the treatment to become visible.
