Hyaluronic Acid Fillers.

Cosmetic Fillers. Whereas the effects of Botox take a few days, the result of injection with a filler is instantaneous.

Because hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring, non animal product, allergies and other complications are extremely rare.

However, these injections should be avoided in pregnancy, lactation and the presence of skin infections.

Botox smoothes out wrinkles; it does not fill them in. For this we use fillers. In South Africa hyaluronic acid fillers, a natural product, are most commonly used.

There are other products available, but these do not seem to offer the same advantages as hyaluronic acid fillers. For this procedure, the area is deadened with a topical cream, and the filler injected. cosmetic fillers.

The effects last 8 months to a year. Fillers are useful for nose to mouth corner lines, enhancing lips, and filling frown lines.

We are fortunate to have available the three most prestigious makes of hyaluronic acid filler available internationally: Restylane, the oldest and best known, Juvederm, marketed by the same company that imports Botox, and Teosyal, the filler of the year in Europe.

These products are available in different formulations for different applications.

Thus deep furrows, persistent wrinkles, sun damaged dry skin with fine creases, and the really annoying “smokers’ lines” that worry so many women can all be relieved with the appropriate product. Pricing depends on how much of the product is used. That is why a pre-treatment consultation is useful.
