Facial Injectables
Dermal Fillers is a non- invasive treatment which is commonly used to restore volume and plumpness to various parts of your face such as your lips, chin, cheeks, the jawline and even the nose.
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, volume and structural support which leads to the deterioration in skin health.

As the practitioner at our Blackburn Dental and Facial Aesthetic Clinic is a dentist, a dental anaesthetic may be used for your convenience. Apart from not eating until you regain the feeling in your face, there is no downtime associated with this procedure, and people are usually able to return to normal daily activities immediately after the treatment. Dermal filler treatments at our Blackburn Dental and Facial Aesthetic Clinic can last between 6-24 months depending on the area of treatment. Based on your areas of concern, your practitioner may recommend a series of treatments for optimal results in your follow up appointment which will be held 2 weeks after your treatment at our Blackburn Dental and Facial Aesthetic Clinic.

FAQs
What are the dermal fillers made up of?
The dermal fillers contain a substance called Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which is already naturally present in our skin, eyes and joints. Like other natural substances such as collagen and elastin, the level of HA found in our bodies is reduced as we get older which results in our skin looking less plump due to the lack of support in our facial structure. Dermal fillers restore this volume which smooths out the lines and wrinkles. In addition to this, HA is very hydrating and can improve the condition of the skin.
