Volumising & Filling Treatment
Dermal filler injections are a safe and effective way to soften fine lines and wrinkles and restore lost volume to the face.
Usually containing hyaluronic acid – a substance found naturally in the skin – dermal fillers can be used to fill lines and wrinkles, sculpt the face, to create fuller lips, or even perform a non-surgical rhinoplasty.
Dermal fillers can be used as a first step into aesthetic anti-ageing treatments to produce a very natural-looking rejuvenated appearance by smoothing lines and giving the face a youthful plumpness. They are also a very effective complementary treatment for patients seeking a facelift or can be a standalone procedure for those wishing to appear subtly younger without the need for more invasive treatment.
As with any treatment, patients requesting dermal fillers will first have a thorough consultation with Mr Juling Ong, who will explain the benefits and risks involved in the treatment and discuss your hopes and expectations from the procedure.
The treatment itself is quick and virtually pain-free, and if both you and Mr Juling Ong are satisfied that the procedure is right for you, it can be carried out within the same consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I see the results?
Results of dermal filler treatment can be seen immediately, although there may be some initial swelling at the treatment site. This temporary swelling should resolve within a day or two when your final results will be visible.
How long will the results of dermal filler injections last?
Dermal filler treatment is temporary; however, the results can last for up to eighteen months, and most patients are fully satisfied with the effect for at least nine months. The treatment is perfectly safe to repeat when you feel a top-up is necessary.
Are there any risks involved?
Dermal filler injections are non-surgical and minimally invasive, but as with any procedure that involves breaching the skin’s surface, they are not risk-free. Risks of anti-wrinkle injections are rare, but they can include drooping of the eyelids. This usually resolves itself quickly without the need for medical intervention.
To minimise the risks involved in non-surgical aesthetic treatments and ensure the best possible results, seeking a fully qualified, experienced practitioner is advisable. Mr Juling Ong is a consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon specialising in facial surgery.
Who is a suitable candidate for dermal fillers?
Anyone who feels they would like to reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles or create more volume in their face is a good candidate for dermal filler injections. There is no ideal age for treatment; however, if Mr Juling Ong feels that you will not benefit from the treatment for any reason, he will advise you of this in the consultation process and suggest more suitable treatment if appropriate.
During your consultation, Mr Juling Ong will explain all potential risks and discuss your treatment options in full. Please call us on 020 7927 6528 or email us at info@julingong.com to arrange an appointment.
