Dermal filler consultation

At ParisSurge Clinic, we encourage open and thorough discussions with your doctor to ensure the best outcomes. When considering dermal fillers in Abu Dhabi or anywhere in the UAE, your journey begins with a detailed consultation where you can share your goals and any previous experience with fillers.

Your doctor will review your medical history and ask about any current medications, especially muscle relaxants or blood thinners. This helps us design a personalised post-injection care plan that promotes a smooth, safe recovery and natural-looking results.

Dermal Filler Procedure

During the dermal filler treatment, the targeted area is first numbed using either topical anaesthesia, ice, or vibration anaesthesia (which involves massage to reduce discomfort). Many fillers also contain lidocaine — a mild anaesthetic — to further minimise discomfort during and after the procedure.

The filler is then carefully injected beneath the skin in strategic areas. The number of injections depends on various factors, including the size and extent of the area being treated — smaller areas typically require less product.

Depending on how many areas are treated, the entire procedure can take as little as 15 minutes or up to an hour. Once the desired results are achieved, any markings are cleaned off, and you may be offered an ice pack to help reduce swelling and ease any minor discomfort. While the treated area might feel slightly tender for a day or two, the discomfort is usually mild and doesn’t require medication.

Types of Dermal Filler Treatments

1. Facial Fillers: Facial fillers restore lost volume or enhance specific features of the face. Common treatments include non-surgical rhinoplasty, lip fillers, cheek fillers, under-eye fillers, nasolabial fold (smile line) fillers, chin fillers, jawline fillers, and marionette line fillers.

2. Buttock Fillers: Non-surgical buttock enhancement uses dermal fillers to improve the shape, size, and contour of the buttocks, while also smoothing the overlying skin.

3. Vaginal Rejuvenation Fillers: Dermal fillers are also used in vaginal rejuvenation procedures. The filler is injected into targeted areas of the pubic region to enhance firmness and volume.

Dermal Filler Aftercare

Dermal filler treatment is quick, non-invasive, and typically requires little to no downtime. Most patients may experience mild swelling, which can be easily managed with ice packs. To achieve the best possible results, it’s important to follow these general aftercare guidelines:

• Do not rub or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours.

• Avoid hot drinks for the first 2 days.

• Apply ice packs gently to reduce swelling or bruising as needed.

Possible Side Effects

Dermal filler injections are generally safe when performed by experienced professionals. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, some temporary side effects may occur:

• Mild bruising and redness at the injection site.
• Slight discomfort during the injection, usually resolving immediately after the procedure.
• Occasional headaches, which may occur within 24 to 48 hours and typically resolve on their own.
