Injectable Filler Treatments

What are injectable filler treatments?

Non-surgical cosmetic procedures like injectable filler treatments have become widely popular due to their capacity to replenish volume, minimise wrinkles, and improve facial contours. Dr Kunene, a distinguished dermatologist, specialises in administering these treatments to achieve natural-looking and rejuvenated results for his patients.

When are injectable filler treatments indicated?

Injectable filler treatments are indicated for a variety of cosmetic concerns. Dr Kunene recommends these treatments for individuals seeking to address the following:

  • Facial Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Injectable fillers are highly successful in reducing the visibility of facial wrinkles and fine lines, delivering a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
  • Volume Loss: The ageing process frequently results in a reduction of facial volume, leading to sagging and hollow regions. Injectable fillers serve as an exceptional solution to replenish volume, fostering a more lifted and revitalised appearance.
  • Nasolabial Folds: These lines extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Injectable fillers can soften and reduce the prominence of nasolabial folds, enhancing overall facial harmony.
  • Lip augmentation: For individuals desiring fuller and more defined lips, injectable fillers offer a non-invasive option to achieve natural-looking results.
  • Cheek augmentation: Injectable fillers can be strategically placed to augment and contour the cheeks, providing a lifted and sculpted appearance.
  • Under eye hollows: Dark circles and hollows under the eyes can be effectively treated with injectable fillers, restoring a more rested and refreshed look.

What do injectable filler treatments involve?

Injectable filler treatments involve a series of steps carefully orchestrated by Dr Kunene to ensure optimal results and patient satisfaction:

  • Consultation: Dr Kunene conducts a thorough consultation to understand the patient's goals, assess their facial anatomy, and determine the most suitable filler type for their unique needs.
  • Treatment Planning: Based on the assessment, Dr Kunene develops a personalised treatment plan outlining the specific areas to be addressed and the quantity of filler required.
  • Preparation: Before the procedure, the targeted areas are cleansed, and a topical anaesthetic may be applied to enhance patient comfort during the treatment.
  • Injection: Dr Kunene skilfully injects the chosen filler into the predetermined areas, employing precise techniques to achieve natural-looking and harmonious results.
  • Post-treatment care: Patients are provided with post-treatment care instructions to minimise any potential side effects, such as swelling or bruising. Dr Kunene ensures ongoing support and follow-up to monitor the progress of the treatment.
