Dermal Fillers South Africa - Dr. Willie Storm
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers come in various forms and can be temporary or semi-permanent. Temporary fillers will last from 3-5 months, and semi-permanent fillers can last around two years. How often the patient’s face ages and how long it takes for their body to absorb the filler will determine how often the patient needs to return for another treatment.
We use dermal fillers to correct furrows, wrinkles, and plump lips for a more youthful appearance. We also use fillers to decrease the depth of a scar. If a patient has an allergic reaction to a filler or decides to alter their physical appearance, the fillers dissolve quickly.
What Aesthetic Improvements Can Dermal Fillers Make?
We use dermal fillers to treat several issues. The following improvements can be made to your appearance using dermal fillers:
Dermal Fillers Can Help Improve Your Appearance
● Augmenting lips: Dermal fillers improve the size of thin lips, making them more attractive.
● Augmenting cheeks: Dermal fillers can enhance the appearance of your cheeks.
● Improving the overall shape of your nose: By strategically injecting dermal fillers in the right location, we can enhance a disproportionate nose without the need for surgery.
Dermal Fillers Help to Reverse the Effects of Ageing
● Facial volume: As we age, we lose fullness in our lips, cheeks, and eyelids. You can improve these facial features’ appearance, size, and shape with dermal fillers to keep you ageing gracefully.
● Sagging: As the skin begins to age, it affects the appearance of skin under the eyes, lips, chin and the area between the nose and the mouth. Dermal fillers help to improve the appearance of these areas.
● Deepening wrinkles: Dermal fillers can improve your appearance and curb the effects of wrinkles.

What to Expect During Your Dermal Fillers Procedure
Facial filler injections are non-surgical and get performed during a doctor’s office visit. Initially, you will go for a consultation to discuss the procedure, your desired outcomes and any concerns that you may have regarding the process. The main dermal filler products used include Juvederm, Belotero and Restylane®.
Dermal Fillers - How Long Before I Can Expect Results After My Injections?
After getting dermal fillers, you will see results between 24 to 48 hours. Results typically last up to six months. After this period, you will need to receive fillers again to maintain your appearance.
Dermal Fillers - Are The Injections Safe?
Some patients may require surgery such as a facelift, brow lift or eye lift. Rejuvenation treatments, such as fillers, cannot achieve the same results but can delay facelift surgery.
It is important to remember that dermal fillers are temporary treatments for facial ageing, and for long-term results, patients may need to look at surgery. Learn more about the side effects of facial fillers.
Dermal fillers are FDA approved and have an excellent track record for safety. Restylane® is a synthetic substance produced through a biotechnical process and contains no animal products, so the risk of pathogen spread is minimal.
