DERMAL FILLERS

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that help smooth out wrinkles and restore fullness to facial and body areas. As we age, we lose bone tissue, fat, elastin, and collagen under our skin, leading to wrinkles and hollows. Dermal fillers can effectively address these signs of aging.

Why Choose Dermal Fillers?

1. Instant Improvement: Dermal fillers provide visible results immediately after the treatment.
2. Long-Lasting Effects but Not Permanent: Depending on the type of filler, the effects can last between 6 to 24 months. The non-permanent nature of dermal fillers offer several benefits such as offering a trial opportunity, flexibility and adaptibility, safety and reversibility, overall lower risk of long-term complications and more predictable and manageable costs.
3. Natural Enhancement: Fillers add volume naturally, enhancing features like lips, cheeks, and the jawline, and correcting lines and wrinkles.

Dermal fillers may not be suitable for you for several reasons.

1. Pregnancy or breastfeeding: The safety of dermal fillers during pregnancy or breastfeeding isn’t well-established. As a precaution, it’s advised to avoid such cosmetic treatments during these periods.
2. Unrealistic Expectations: If your aesthetic goals aren’t achievable with fillers (for example, expecting a complete facelift or permanent changes), you may need to consider different treatments. Fillers are temporary and best for subtle enhancements.
3. Certain medical conditions: It is not suitable if you have a history of severe allergies, active skin issues near the treatment area, blood clotting disorders etc. It’s important to consult with a medical professional to discuss these and other potential contraindications based on your unique health profile before deciding on dermal fillers.

Dr. Koh uses Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers, a substance naturally found in the body, ensuring compatibility and reducing the risk of reactions. The injected hyaluronic acid gel attracts and retains water, increasing skin volume and reducing sagging and wrinkling. These fillers are versatile, suitable for various enhancements and corrections, including lip enhancement, cheek lift, chin and jawline reshaping, and smoothing of lines like nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

Dr. Koh also offers neuromodulator injections. While these injections can often be used to treat various medical conditions, they’re only widely known for their aesthetic benefits. For detailed, personalized information, we recommend a consultation with your injector to discuss your specific needs and goals.
