Turn Back the Clock with Dermal Fillers: The Secret to Youthful and Revitalised Skin

Dermal fillers can help smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the mouth, nose, and eyes. This can give you a more youthful appearance and help you feel more confident about your appearance. As we age, we naturally lose volume in our faces, which can lead to a sunken, gaunt appearance. Dermal fillers can restore volume to areas such as the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes, giving you a more youthful and healthy appearance. If you have asymmetrical features, such as uneven lips or cheeks, dermal fillers can help to balance out your features and create a more symmetrical appearance.

Dermal fillers are a non-invasive way to enhance your appearance without the need for surgery or lengthy downtime. You can typically resume your normal activities immediately after your treatment. When administered by a skilled doctor, dermal fillers can produce natural-looking results that enhance your appearance without looking fake or overdone. Depending on the type of filler used, results can last anywhere from several months to a year or more, meaning you can enjoy your improved appearance for an extended period of time.

Dr Haub has selected a wide range of dermal fillers. But her favourite brand is TEOXANE®.

It produces very natural results and stretches easily when you move your face. But, most importantly, it is also FDA-approved. Book a consultation today to find out if this is the right treatment for your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical and popular treatment to rejuvenate your face or enhance certain features. As we age, our faces start to lose volume. This is because the tiny fat pads under our skin become smaller. On top of that, they start sagging. Due to that natural ageing process, many people feel that they look more tired or even grumpy, as they age.

This can be reverted with dermal filler that is skilfully placed into these tiny fat pads in your face. As a result, your face will have more volume and look fuller, younger and more beautiful.

We only use FDA-approved, high-quality dermal fillers that are made of hyaluronic acid. This is a naturally occurring sugar substance that is found inside your skin.

Dermal fillers also stimulate the production of collagen in your skin. As a result, your skin will look smoother, plumper and more radiant. We aim to provide natural and subtle results.

What is dermal filler?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are used to add volume to the skin, fill in wrinkles and fine lines, and enhance facial contours. They are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to maintain skin elasticity and hydration.

When injected into the skin, dermal fillers can help to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, and plump up areas that have lost volume due to aging or other factors. They can also be used to enhance facial features such as the cheeks, lips, and chin.

Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical option for people who want to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance without the downtime and risks associated with invasive procedures

Which dermal filler do you use at SATINI?

At SATINI we only use dermal fillers that are approved by the Food and Drug Association in New Zealand. We only source high quality products with a proven safety record from registered companies such as Merz®, Galderma®and Teoxane ®.

At SATINI our preferred dermal filler range is Teoxane®. Please read below for more information about why we have chosen the Teoxane® range as our preferred product.

Why do you mainly use Teoxane® dermal filler at SATINI?

Like most dermal fillers, the Teoxane® filler line also contains hyaluronic acid (HA). This is a naturally occurring sugar substance that can be found inside your skin. However, Teoxane® dermal fillers have taken this one step further! They use a highly advanced form of hyaluronic acid which was designed to almost identically match the mimic of your face. Because of this, Teoxane® dermal filler can move and stretch easily when you move your face. This gives people a much more natural look compared to other products.

Which areas can you treat with dermal fillers?

Cheeks: We can correct hollow looking cheeks or enhance cheeks with dermal filler. This gives you cheeks volume and makes them look more beautiful. When we lift your cheeks, we also provide lifting effect to the lower part of your face. As a result, this smooths the nasolabial fold (the line between the nose and lip). Most people require 1 to 3 mls of dermal filler.

Chin: We usually treat the chin to add definition to the lower third of the face. This helps us to restore harmony to your face as a whole. Chin enhancements are popular for all age groups and both genders. Most men desire a broad and square chin that enhances their masculine features. In contrast to that, women prefer a smaller, rounder chin that blends in nicely with the whole face. In most cases, we require 0.5 ml up to 1 ml dermal filler for this procedure.

Jawline: Treatment with dermal filler in that area softens jowls and helps to improve double chins. This subtle change to the lower face restores your overall facial harmony. In addition it will make the jawline look more defined. Treatments are popular with men and women alike. Mostly, 1 to 2 ml of filler are required.

Lips: Beautiful lips are a symbol of sensuality, health and youth. Both men and women see them as a sexual attractive. Dermal fillers enhance lips and make them look fuller. We aim to provide natural and subtle results. On top of that we make sure that you do not look overfilled or out of proportion. Usually, 1.2 ml or less are required for a lip enhancement.

Forehead: We use only small amounts of a soft filler for the forehead. For best results, we sometimes combine this with Microbotox.

Please make an appointment for an initial consultation to discuss your treatment options.

Is the treatment with dermal fillers painful?

In most cases, people describe that a filler treatment feels slightly uncomfortable. At the same time, it is generally less painful than going to the dentist! Our Teoxane filler contains a small amount of local anesthetic. This usually makes the procedure much more comfortable.

But nevertheless, in the rare event that you feel pain, please let us know straight away. This allows us to stop the procedure and discuss other options for pain relief with you. If you find that you easily get pain, we would recommend you to take paracetamol before the treatment. Please do not take ibuprofen as this will make your bruise easily.

Can I get bruising after a dermal filler injection?

We take every precaution to avoid bruising. It is important that you do not take any anti-inflammatories, fish oil, evening primrose oil or turmeric supplements one day before the procedure. And you should also not drink any alcohol before and after the procedure.

Can I have dermal filler treatment during my initial appointment?

We prefer to assess your face thoroughly and give you some cool-down after your initial appointment. This is so you can feel absolutely sure that you would like to proceed with the treatment. But, we also understand that many people live their lives in the busy lane. So, whereas we prefer that you come back for your actual treatment, we do accept your personal choice and treat you on the same day. But please keep in mind that if we have reservations, we may ask you to still take sone cool-down time.

Are dermal fillers safe?

It is very important that dermal fillers are injected by a health professional with qualifications in Aesthetic Medicine and an in depth knowledge of facial anatomy.

A paper published in 2016 in the journal JAMA of Plastic Surgery concluded that the most common complications are minor swelling, bruising and infection. In most cases, we can easily treat this and it will usually resolve. It is not very likely to get complications. You are looking at approximately 0.01 to 0.0001 per cent.

Serious complications are very rare. One of those serious complications is blindness. We, therefore, recommend that you get dermal filler from a medical professional. Ideally, this should be a doctor or a nurse who works very closely together with a doctor.

For your safety, we have established detailed and up-to-date guidelines and protocols for any complications. We also keep all necessary emergency drugs in our clinic. This would allow us to initiate the appropriate treatment promptly and efficiently. But hopefully, it will never come to this as we take all precautions to avoid complications.

Please read more about dermal filler and its safety in our informative blog here.

Can I have my nose injected at SATINI?

No. There are many vessels inside the nose. This can make it difficult for us to predict where exactly the vessels are lying underneath your skin. Unfortunately this means that your risk of blindness is higher. For that reason, we do not perform nose injections at SATINI.

Dr Haub has selected a wide range of dermal fillers. One of her favourites is TEOXANE® as it produces very natural results. Restylane® and Belotero® are also available. Book a consultation today to find out if dermal fillers are the right treatment for your skin.
