Your skin will be prepared by cleansing it thoroughly and a numbing cream will be applied. When the area is ready the Dermal Filler will be injected into the skin using a very fine needle. Discomfort is minimal. You will be given after-care advice and details of what to expect following treatment. Then you can return to your normal activities.
We’ll apply a numbing cream on the treatment area. Then we’ll roll the micro-needling device across the treatment area, puncturing the skin in a specific pattern. As each fine needle punctures the skin, it creates a channel or micro-wound. This creates a controlled “injury” on and below the skin’s surface that triggers the body to “fill” these micro-wounds by producing new collagen and elastin, and by stimulating skin cell regeneration. You can resume regular activities almost immediately.
WHAT CAN DERMAL FILLERS BE USED FOR?
There are several uses for dermal fillers, including: Smoothening of wrinkles and folds Adding volume by using thicker fillers Filling sunken cheeks and weak chin Filling acne and other scars fillers can also be used in the upper part of the face to treat expression lines – for instance, crow’s feet or forehead lines. Lines/crow’s feet at the corner of eyes Frown lines between the eyebrows Vertical lines above the top lip Smile lines from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth Adding fullness to the lip/skin border
WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS MADE OF?
Dermal fillers are usually based on Hyaluronic Acid (HA) which naturally occurs in our skin and joints to hydrate and lubricate. Unfortunately, we produce less and less of this HA as we age, which leads to dehydration, lack of volume, drooping and deepening of lines and wrinkles. HA binds with water increasing the hydration.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?

HOW LONG WILL THE EFFECTS LAST?
Dermal Fillers are long-lasting but not permanent, they usually last between 6-8 months but this can vary for different individuals.
HOW IT WORKS?
Using 200 extremely fine medical-grade needles, the dermaroller painlessly creates microchannels in your skin, which then trigger the body’s natural healing process to create new, healthier tissues to replace the imperfections of the older skin.
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHICH FILLER TO USE?
The biggest difference between the various fillers available is the size of the particles used, the active ingredient and the quantity in each vial. Fillers with smaller particles are used for superficial lines and larger particle fillers for deeper wrinkles, restoring lost volume, skin folds and lips.
DOES IT HURT?
The Dermaroller device causes little to no pain as the pre-procedure anesthetic cream is applied
