FILLERS IN DUBAI | 7 FEBRUARY 2025

Dermal fillers are used to add volume to the soft tissues of the face, such as the cheek, mouth, lips, around the eye, and jawline, in order to combat signs of ageing by filling in wrinkles, dark circles, and thinning lips. Usually containing hyaluronic acid, they apply a gel.

As we age, our bodies produce less of the proteins that give us a youthful appearance: collagen and elastin. Dermatological fillers can be used to smooth out deep wrinkles on the face. These areas have lost volume as a result of decreased collagen and elastin production, which this injectable technique can restore. By providing “lift,” dermal fillers can enhance the appearance of the face.

Patients typically have an initial consultation with Dr. Leonardo to determine their suitability for the treatment. Several injections may be required as part of the dermal fillers procedure, depending on the patient’s requirements. Prior to the injection, the targeted facial area is numbed with a topical anaesthetic lotion. The mid- or deep level of the skin receives the injection.

After a dermal fillers injection, patients can return to their normal activities, including wearing makeup. Patients are recommended to refrain from massaging or rubbing the affected facial area for a few days after treatment.

There is disagreement over the precise age at which the production of collagen and elastin begins to decrease, but it is usually accepted to be approximately 25. Following that, we should expect a slow decline in elastin and collagen. The synthesis of these proteins stops entirely by the time we reach our late twenties. Dermal fillers may therefore be seen as a cosmetic operation by anyone in their late twenties or older. Dermal fillers may be best suited for nonsmokers, healthy individuals, and those who consistently take good care of their skin.

The goal for outcomes that look natural is shared by most people having cosmetic treatments done. Nobody wants the clear proof that they had cosmetic surgery left on them. This desirable, natural look can be achieved with dermal filler injections while maintaining normal face expressions and movements. However, procedures have the power to permanently change the recipient’s facial appearance. This is partially due to the delayed process of dermal fillers, which progressively plump out certain facial areas.

Compared to plastic surgery, dermal face fillers are a less intrusive technique. This not only makes the surgery itself less painful than many of the surgeries that plastic surgeons undertake, but it also reduces the length of treatment in comparison to a number of more involved options.
