How does it work? A soft-tissue filler is injected into the skin in a series of small injections, applied with a fine needle, across a 20- to 30-minute session. Most fillers are composed of proteins, hyaluronic acid or biosynthetic polymers, or a combination of these. Results usually vary depending on the type of skin and filler used. 

What about the aftercare? Mild redness and swelling may occur, which will eventually fade away with time - usually within a day, but this may last up to one week in some people. Customers are advised to avoid coffee, alcohol, hot drinks and the sun within 24 hours of treatment, and apply cold compresses or ice packs to alleviate the swelling.

What are the risks or complications of dermal fillers?

Serious complications are rare, and some of these side effects are only temporary. But as with any cosmetic surgery procedure, there are risks. They include:

• Asymmetrical appearance.
• Bleeding, bruising, redness, pain and swelling.
• Damage to your skin, which can cause scars.
• Infection, which can lead to necrosis (death of the infected skin) in severe cases.
• Lumps or bumps under your skin.
• Numbness.
• Pimples that look like skin problems.
• Rash and itching.

Rarely, people have vision problems following dermal filler injections. If you have problems with your eyesight, along with weakness, discomfort or pain on one side of your body, get immediate medical help.
