Dermal filler can last from 6-24 months depending on a number of factors such as; the area treated, the particular filler used and your own metabolism which will vary between individuals. The length of time stated for individual types of filler is that provided by the manufacturer as being typical rates, therefore Derma Plus (nor the manufacture) cannot be held liable for the rate you, as an individual, may process the filler. Some clients still have filler after 2 years but others process filler much quicker than the typical stated time.

The dermal fillers we offer have a local anaesthetic (lidocaine) incorporated in them to minimise discomfort. We also use a fantastic numbing cream and only start the treatment once you feel completely numb. If you are allergic to lidocaine we can use fillers that do not contain this ingredient.

We only work with the highest quality dermal fillers, all of which integrate with the tissue under the skin creating a soft natural result that does not affect facial expression. We carry out the procedure in stages and allow you to have a look at each stage to give you more control over the final result and to ensure you leave 100% happy.

We assess the face artistically and only recommend treatments that are guaranteed to harmonise facial features, increase facial symmetry and add balance. You will have an in-depth consultation with our medical practitioner prior to treatment and together you can decide on a treatment plan. The clinician will endeavour to give you your desired outcomes from one treatment, but this is not always possible and subsequent treatments might be required, incurring additional costs. The clinician will ensure the filler is entirely smooth when you leave the clinic, and will give instructions as to how to minimise the risk of the filler aggregating, (which clients need to follow after treatment). Unfortunately in a few cases clients only discover they are prone to process filler this way, once the lumps have developed.

All make-up will be removed from the area to be treated so wear no make-up or minimal make-up to the appointment.

Do not drink alcohol 24 hours before (and after) the procedure.

Discontinue blood thinning medication 7 days prior to treatment, as they may increase the risk of bruising, this includes aspirin and ibuprofen (please check with your Dr before stopping prescribed medication). Also avoid St John’s Wort, fish oils, Gingko Biloba, Vitamins C and E 24 hours before treatment. 

Avoid using topical products such as Tretinoin, Retinols and Glycolic Acid 3 days prior treatment.

Contact clinic prior to treatment if you have any illness such as colds, coughs or sore throat or any skin infections. 

Contact the clinic if you have any other procedures planned such as facials and dental appointments. 

Arnica tablets can be taken 3 days before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. Ensure you have had something to eat prior to treatment to decrease the chances of light-headedness.Item description
