Dermal Fillers
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a naturally derived or synthetic material that is directly injected into skin with the purpose of plumping that area to the point where the wrinkle, depression, or fold is gone. Depending on the type of filler, positive effects can last anywhere from six months to two years; for semi-permanent or permanent fillers, the effects can last up to five years, and there are reports of even longer-lasting results.
An important point to note is that Dermal fillers are different than Botox since Botox is usually injected into areas of the forehead and for wrinkles around the eyes to relax muscle movement that results in wrinkles. At the same time, dermal fillers have a plumping smoothing effect.
Since both these treatments have different effects, many people tend to get a combination of to get a stunningly younger looking face.

Benefits of Dermal Fillars
- Adding volume and smoothing out the deep creases that run from the nose to the mouth (called nasolabial folds or laugh lines).
- Plumping thin lips and smoothing out vertical lines around the edges of the lips.
- Augmenting cheeks to enhance their shape, often restoring youthful fullness.
- Filling out depressions (hollows) under the eye area.
- Making indented scars from acne or chicken pox more even with surrounding skin.
- Increasing volume to fill out gauntness in the lower cheek or temple area, which most often occurs due to fat pads shifting beneath the surface of skin.
Types of Dermal Fillars
There are basically two types of dermal fillers: Synthetic and Natural Dermal Fillers
One of the most common natural fillers is hyaluronic acid which is known to have a much smaller risk of causing an allergic reaction. Results are immediate but will only last for 12- 18 months (occasionally up to two years) because the filler eventually breaks down causing the benefits to vanish.
It is recommended that once the fillers start to dissipate one needs to get more filler injected to maintain results. Most people who get fillers will need at least one follow-up injection within a year.
Your cosmetic surgeon will be the best person to advise you on the kind of filler you need.
What To Expect?
To begin the treatment, the area will be cleaned, and you may be given a topical anesthetic to numb the area prior to injection. Your provider will inject a precise amount of filler strategically beneath the skin.
Depending on the product and the areas treated, one would be able to notice results immediately after receiving filler injections. Some patients may experience mild bruising and swelling, but these are temporary and should subside over the days following treatment.
Before Dermal Filler Treatment
During your consultation, your cosmetic surgeon will evaluate your area of concern and review your medical history. While the risks associated with dermal fillers are minimal, you need to fully disclose your medical history prior to treatment, as certain allergies, skin and neurological conditions, or medications can jeopardize your safety or results.
Post Dermal Fillers Treatment
You should be able to resume normal activities immediately in most cases. It’s important to understand possible improvements and have realistic expectations.
Immediately after the treatment, there may be redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, and/or itching near the injection site. Avoid itching, massaging, or picking around the injection site. This is normal and generally disappears within a few hours to a few days. If these symptoms last more than 3 days, please contact our clinic.
We will provide you with ice, arnica cream and tablets, and bromelain tablets – all of which can reduce or resolve potential bruising. You may take acetaminophen (Tylenol) to reduce any pain as necessary.

- Crow’s Feet
These are wrinkles that form in the corner of the eyes. They can be caused by ageing, sun exposure, expressions and smoking.
- Frown Lines
When we contract our forehead muscles, deep lines can materialize. Also referred to as an “11”, frown lines form in between your eyebrows. Over time, these lines start to linger and prove to be a bugbear for many.
- Smoker’s Lines
The use of fillers can smooth and fill out these crepey lines, creating a much softer, younger-looking appearance.
- Marionette Lines
Located just below the corners of the mouth, the marionette lines can make you look sad or angry when relaxing your face.
- Lips
Thin lips are not necessarily a result of ageing; many men and women are born with thinner lips. If you would like to add volume, but avoid an exaggerated look, Musk Clinic can use the most advanced lip fillers to enhance your natural lip shape.
- Nasolabial Fold
Also referred to as “smile lines”, these lines run down the sides of the nose to the corner of the mouth. Most of us notice these when smiling, laughing or talking, but over time they can develop into static lines.
- Cheek
Ageing usually contributes to volume loss. The round, full look diminishes as the fat pads in our cheeks gravitate downward. Cheek Fillers can be used to plump up the skin.
- Décolletage
Inevitably, the skin loses its elasticity and firmness over time. Sun damage in particular can contribute to this aged look on the chest area, and the thinning of the skin can amplify the neck bands, adding years to your appearance.”
The thread lift procedure is done in-office by thread lift pioneer, Dr. Berger. He will start by marking the treatment areas on the patient. A needle or a cannula will then gently be inserted and the threads placed into the subcutaneous tissue, lifting the skin.
Because the Instalift sutures have bidirectional absorbable cones, and the Nova threads have tiny barbs that grab the tissue the threads are easily held into place. Treatments commonly take about 45 minutes.
