Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to restore volume and refine contours where the face has flattened or folds have deepened with age — the nasolabial folds, cheeks and the bridge and tip of the nose. Rather than simply filling a crease, the clinic plans treatment so proportions stay balanced and the result looks natural. Because the gel is hyaluronic acid based, it can be dissolved if an adjustment is ever wanted.

Dermal filler treatment at Medeste Clinic uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel to replace volume and re-establish contour in areas that change with age. As the deeper fat compartments of the face shrink and shift, the cheeks flatten and the folds running from nose to mouth deepen; placing filler in the right planes restores support and can soften those folds more effectively than treating the line alone. Non-surgical nose modelling is also offered, using small amounts of filler to smooth a bump or lift the tip in suitable candidates. Numbing cream is applied first and most fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort. Depending on the area the gel is placed with a fine needle or a blunt cannula; results are visible immediately and continue to settle over one to two weeks as any initial swelling resolves. Mild swelling, tenderness or small bruises are common for a few days afterwards. Hyaluronic acid results typically last around nine to eighteen months depending on the product and the area before the gel is gradually broken down by the body. A key safety feature of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which allows a result to be reversed or refined. Filler treatment is suited to adults noticing flattening of the cheeks, deepening nasolabial folds or wanting subtle contour refinement; the physician confirms suitability and any contraindications at consultation.
