Fillers

Fillers are ideal for filling static wrinkles caused by the loss of subcutaneous volume and by the relaxation of the skin. These occur at the corner of the mouth, cheeks and neck. Mediclinic uses temporary fillers, which are dissolved by the body within a year. We do not use products that remain permanently in the body to prevent the formation of granulomas, nodules or infections. Unlike muscle relaxant products, the result is visible straight away. Fillers give the skin flexibility and strength. They are perfectly safe and non allergenic.
 
What results can I get?

• Disappearance of small wrinkles around the mouth
• Softening of the jaw line
• Reduction of furrows around the mouth and lips
• Decreased furrows around the mouth and chin (marionette lines)
• Fuller lips or contour enhancement
• Improved facial contours, fuller cheeks

What can I expect during and after treatment?
 
The injections are carried out during a consultation. For the filling of lips and wrinkles around the mouth, the area may be anaesthetised (like at the dentist). The effects are visible straight away and improve in the following weeks. After the injection, redness, swelling and bruising may occur locally but can easily be camouflaged with make-up the day after treatment.

Tips before treatment

Avoid taking anticoagulant medication, anti-inflammatory medication, vitamin E, omega 3 based preparations, garlic or alcohol a week before treatment. These products have an anticoagulant effect and increase the risk of hematoma.
