Nowadays, people from all over the country are looking for treatments to attenuate the lines and folds in the face, conceal the harsh signs of ageing that time leaves behind, and achieve fuller lips and cheeks.
One of these treatments involves applying dermal enhancements on the face. In studies on dermal enhancements, people usually report being satisfied with the results of treatment.
But these dermal enhancements are not for everyone and may not be indicated for people with certain conditions (such as bleeding disorders or certain allergies). Moreover, if your aesthetic physician confirms that dermal enhancements are an option for you, understand that all products have their benefits and risks. At Nitai Medical and Cosmetic Centre, we recommend you go to an accredited skin clinic in Melbourne for any skin treatment. But, first of all, you need to understand all the benefits and risks before getting the dermal treatment in Melbourne.
What are dermal enhancements, and how are they used?
In general, dermal enhancements are used to help fill in wrinkles and give a smoother appearance. They are usually applied to the skin with a needle, and they give volume to the sunken areas of the face and define their outline.
Why do People prefer Dermal Enhancements?
People prefer dermal enhancements due to their high longevity and few side effects. These treatments correct soft tissue defects of the face, such as wrinkles and skin folds that range from moderate to severe, increase the size of the lips and cheeks, and restore or correct signs of fat loss on the face. A dermal enhancement can also be used to fill the back of the hand and chin.
Clinically approved dermal enhancements are temporary and give a tightening effect or “filling” that lasts about a year or more in most people. They provide subtle restorative results, which are adored by most Australians.
Also, you should never use these enhancements for other large-scale figure enhancement or delineation. Such consultations and solutions are not recommended, and such delineation of the figure on a large scale and can cause serious injury, permanent scarring or disfigurement, and even death.
What are the risks of Dermal Treatments in Melbourne?
Always remember to go to an accredited skin clinic to consult about what you can expect from the clinically approved dermal enhancement treatments. Then check with your cosmetic doctor if you are concerned about a particular side effect.
Among the most common side effects are:
- bruises
- redness
- swelling
- pain
- itch
Other additional side effects reported less frequently are:
- infections
- lumps and bumps
- discoloration or changes in pigmentation
Some rare, but serious risks include:
- If the product is accidentally applied to a blood vessel, it can cause scars, blurred vision, partial loss of sight, and blindness. Therefore, it is recommended to seek treatment from a very experienced practitioner to minimise the risk of getting it applied into blood vessels (especially around the forehead, nose, and eyes).
- Allergic reactions can become serious (anaphylactic shock) and require emergency medical attention.
Most side effects occur shortly after the procedure and disappear after two weeks. In some cases, they may arise weeks, months, or years later. Talk to your aesthetic physician if you have any questions or concerns.
5 tips for consumers about Dermal Enhancements:
- Always consult with a licensed physician who uses sealed ampoules for treatments. You can also ask for confirmation that you are receiving a product approved clinically for aesthetic skin treatments. And never use products from non-accredited providers or in non-medical settings, such as hotels or private homes.
- Always ask your treating physician for patient information about the product and the treatment and read all available information about it.
- Always know the kind of product that will be applied and all its possible side effects.
- Don’t buy products on the internet. They can be false or harmful, or contaminated.
Also, the safety concerns of these products for use on pregnant or breastfeeding women, or in patients under 18 years of age, is unknown.
