Occasionally some redness, swelling and tenderness can occur immediately in the injection site, lasting for a few hours. However swelling following lip/tear trough treatment can last for a few days.

Treating tear trough for sunken or baggy eyes is a sensitive procedure as the skin is very thin under the eyes. Therefore this area can easily bruise and become puffy lasting up to two weeks. Although most of the patients leave without any visible marks, we would advise avoiding this procedure if you have an important event to attend within a month. Nevertheless, the outcome of this procedure is outstanding as it gets rid of the tired-looking face. The procedure should be only done by an experienced practitioner who has done this multiple time as this area is very delicate.

Lips are full of blood vessels therefore mild swelling is expected for 2-3 days. You might feel that your lips are tense when the numbing agent starts wearing off. There is no need to panic, as the swelling will progressively go down. Lips can look slightly asymmetrical when swollen but this should improve when the swelling resolve. So it can take a few days for the lips to take their final shape. If you’re not fully satisfied with the final shape of your lips, you can email us to book you in for a free consultation.

All our dermal fillers are made of natural component and well-known brands.
Our wide range of dermal fillers includes Restylane® and Belotero®.

Each company will advertise its dermal filler as the best one. Don’t believe everything you read in a magazine as every dermal filler has its cons and pro. The choice of dermal filler depends on the doctor’s technique and the area being injected.

Dermal fillers we use, are gel made of a natural component found in our skin and lips called Hyaluronic Acid. They’re injected in the skin to help fill in facial wrinkles and restoring a smoother appearance. They can also be used for lip and cheek augmentation.

Dermal filler can be used in the following areas:
Temples
Tear trough
Nose correction
Lip augmentation
Cheek augmentation
Nasolabial fold (nose to mouth line)
Marionettes lines (from the corner of the mouth)
Smoker lines, also known as Lipstick lines (found above the upper lip)
Jawline sculpting
Hands rejuvenation

Most areas will require 1ml to 2mls per area, except for cheek augmentation and jawline where 2-4 mls are required. We will be able to advise you during the consultation if you require more than 1 ml.

Dermal fillers are not painful however some areas like the lips can be more sensitive and uncomfortable. The new dermal fillers we use come pre-mixed with a numbing agent called Lidocaine that will numb the area injected. You can put a numbing cream 10 mins before the procedure to reduce discomfort.

Bruising can be avoided if an experienced practitioner performs the injection. Bruising happens when the injector hit a vein. Therefore we always make sure to identify the veins before injecting. Nevertheless bruising is always a possibility but is not that common.

Dermal fillers results are instantaneous. Within seconds your wrinkles will disappear. Cheek and lip augmentation are also instantaneous. You will walk out of the clinic with visible and noticeable changes.

The length of the procedure depends on the area and the amount of filler injected. One area can take between 15 to 30 mins.
