Consultation

The journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with our experienced cosmetic surgeons at Skin Vibes Clinic. We discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history during this session to ensure a personalized treatment plan.


Facial Assessment & Mapping

Our expert cosmetic surgeon conducts a detailed facial assessment and mapping. This involves analyzing your facial structure and identifying areas of concern. This helps us map out the precise placement of the dermal filler to achieve optimal results.


Preparation

Injection

Using a fine needle, the doctor will inject the dermal filler solution into targeted areas of concern. We ensure precise techniques to achieve natural-looking results while enhancing your facial contours.

Sculpting

Throughout the injection process, the doctor will sculpt and shape the filler. This ensures optimal symmetry and balance, tailoring the treatment to your unique facial anatomy.


Evaluation

Following the injections, you’ll have the opportunity to assess the initial results. Doctor will carefully evaluate the outcomes and make adjustments to achieve your desired look.

Types Of Cosmetic Dermal Filler Treatment

Our experts offer a range of dermal filler treatments tailored to your needs. The most common ones are:

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid injections effectively address various concerns, including:
  • acne scars
  • smoker’s lines on the mouth
  • cheek depressions
  • nasolabial folds
  • frown lines between your eyebrows
  • crow’s feet
  • marionette lines at the ends of your lips
  • lip border definition
  • forehead worry lines

Your body naturally contains hyaluronic acid, predominantly in soft tissues and eye fluid. It’s also present in joint fluids, cartilage, and skin tissue. This substance is extracted and refined and is a popular injectable filler. These injections actively refine skin contour and diminish depressions caused by scars, injuries, or lines. It’s often used to relieve arthritis pain and cushion sore joints.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite

Derived from human bones, it is a mineral-like compound that offers diverse benefits. Cosmetic experts frequently use this compound to:
  • Address volume loss in facial wasting conditions, such as those seen in certain HIV medications.
  • Enhance cheek fullness and other facial contours.
  • Smoothen moderate-to-severe creases like nasolabial folds* and frown lines.

Produced through biosynthesis, calcium hydroxylapatite doesn’t involve animal products. This minimizes allergic risks and eliminates the need for skin testing. Renowned for its natural results, it doesn’t migrate and rarely has side effects

Polyalkylimide

Polyalkylimide, a semi-permanent filler, is favored by plastic surgeons for various purposes, like:
  • Addressing facial volume loss from aging or HIV medications
  • Enhancing cheekbones and jawlines
  • Treating deep wrinkles and scars
  • Plumping thin lips

With minimal tissue reaction, it’s biocompatible and doesn’t require allergy testing. Additionally, it’s radio-transparent, ensuring it won’t interfere with X-rays. After injection, a layer of collagen forms around it gradually over about a month. This stable product can be removed if needed, offering flexibility and reliable results.

Polylactic acid

When injected into your face, polylactic acid, a synthetic filler, stimulates collagen production. It’s recognized as a stimulator, promoting your body’s natural collagen synthesis. This non-toxic substance, used in sutures for over 40 years, is biodegradable.

    Primarily effective in the lower face, it targets:

  • Laugh lines
  • Thin lips
  • Deep nasolabial folds

Compared to other fillers, it doesn’t yield immediate results. It gradually enhances collagen production over a few months. You may need around three monthly treatments for the desired results. Each treatment stimulates collagen, with full effects visible in four to six weeks. This treatment is semi-permanent; you may need occasional touch-ups.

Polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres (PMMA)

PMMA is a semi-permanent filler which effectively treats:
  • Mild-to-deep wrinkles
  • Folds and furrows like nasolabial folds
  • Pitted scars and thin lips

PMMA is often preferred over collagen or hyaluronic therapy when seeking a long-lasting solution for facial wrinkles. Although it’s commonly used in permanent implants, initial treatments may involve less quantity to avoid overfilling

Multiple injections are necessary to achieve the desired volume. Full effects can take up to three months. However, PMMA may be visible under the skin. To prevent undesirable outcomes, your injector must be skilled in precise injection techniques at the dermal subcutaneous junction.
