Dermal fillers

People choose to get dermal fillers to enhance their facial features or gain a more youthful appearance. You may want to get dermal fillers to: add volume to sagging skin; make your features more symmetrical; plump up lips and cheeks, and to smooth wrinkles and creases in your face.

There are several types of dermal fillers. Dr. Singh will review the types of dermal fillers and discuss the right option for you. Talk to them about setting realistic goals and the results you can expect after getting injections.

During your consultation, Dr. Singh will recommend the type of filler and review possible side effects and recovery time. Treatment involves cleaning your skin and applying an anaesthetic cream to numb the treatment area. Using a thin needle, a small amount of filler is injected under your skin in one or several areas. The whole process can take a few minutes or up to an hour, depending on the number of areas to be treated.
The needle will pinch or sting, but most people don’t experience much pain during these injections. Dr. Singh is licenced to inject surgical grade lithnocane for those more sensitive to pain.

The great thing with injectable dermal fillers, is that results are generally seen immediately after the treatment, although this gradually improves over the course of the following 2–4 weeks.


A small number of people may experience bruising, swelling or discomfort after treatment. Usually, these side effects are mild and go away in a few days.

This common cosmetic procedure typically produces results right away, and can last months or years.

Dr. Singh will go through your medical history and find out more about your aesthetic goals and determine if this treatment is suitable for you.
Dermal fillers are generally safe because they are a non-invasive method of facial rejuvenation, but only when they are applied by a qualified expert. Filler should always be introduced by a skilled and experienced individual who is equipped to recognise and handle any complications that might occur.
