    What Areas Can Be Treated

    With Dermal Fillers?

    Treatments

    Face and Age Reduction

    As we age, our bodies stop producing elastin and collagen, which contribute to a younger look. Dermal fillers are excellent for treating specific concerns like volume loss, deep wrinkles, tear troughs, jowls, sagging skin and are also used to reshape noses and jawlines plus improve the appearance of scars.

    Lip Fillers and Enhancements

    Enhance the beauty of your lips, giving them a fuller, more defined lip shape with dermal fillers administered by an experienced cosmetic doctor at Secret Skin.  Dermal fillers used by doctors contain a natural substance called hyaluronic acid and usually last between 6 and 18 months.

    Tear Troughs

    Do you notice dark bags and lines beneath your eyes when you look in the mirror? 


    Darkness and volume loss are caused by a variety of factors, including the loss of collagen, decreased elastins and fat in the area, and a shift in the bone structure, ageing and life's pressures. Tear trough treatment is a great approach to make the area brighter, give you a more rested feeling.

    Nose Reshaping and Contouring

    Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a procedure to change the nose that doesn't include any actual surgery or incisions. Dermal fillers help achieve a more balanced nose contour, including straightening the nasal bridge from both sides, hiding any dorsal humps, raising the top of the nose and making the nose appear smaller.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    • What are dermal fillers?

      Dermal filler injections are a popular alternative to anti-wrinkle injections and thread lifts, as they have a gentle effect on the skin while creating subtle changes that will improve the overall contours of your face. Dermal filler injections are not painful and, in addition, typically take about 10 minutes per area to treat. The results last from six months to two years, depending on your injection type.


      These days, almost all dermal fillers contain a naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). First described in 1934, it is a biopolymer with various uses, from wound healing to neurosurgery. That said, the space around our cells is known as the extracellular matrix (ECM), and this was the site of early research into collagen-like substances.


      Back in the 1980’s Bell created the first stable collagen matrix by extracting it from mainly bovine sources. As a result, this discovery was exciting as it was readily available in abundance in animals. Unfortunately, he later learned that its chemistry is species-specific and often lead to inflammatory reactions that caused unsightly granulomas.


      To produce HA today, we take two sugars that undergo a joining reaction to form a long-chain molecule. Most importantly, these long-chain molecules dissolve in water, and consequently, we engineer them to have varying degrees of links and chain size. Modern-day injectable fillers do not cause the reactions that the initial bovine sources did and are much safer to inject into the skin.

    • How do dermal fillers work?

      One of the hallmarks of ageing is the gradual shrinking of our natural facial fat pads. Meanwhile, our face has a number of these fat pads and consequently gives its natural shape. These are otherwise known as beauty contours.


      A dermal filler is placed into the dermis to replace or improve natural volume. These dermal filler treatments can add volume to areas of your face that have lost their shape, making them look sunken and haggard. Injectable fillers are also sometimes used to contour features and give a plump face that looks rested and hydrated.


      Dermal fillers work by adding volume to increase facial fullness and can often be used in conjunction with anti-wrinkle injections. Lip fillers are a popular choice by many people, and as a result, we inject soft lip fillers to give plump, full lips that can transform the aesthetics of your face.

    • What are the types of dermal fillers?

      HA is the primary filler used today. In the early days of development, collagen extraction was from cows. However, this does not occur now as allergic reactions under the skin form as a consequence.


      Modern dermal filler production uses biodegradable material, which is eventually broken down by the body, causing it to dissolve. Today’s commercial products contain added vitamins and minerals that further enhance rejuvenation and numbing cream; as a result, you’ll not feel pain from the injections.

    • Are there any side effects or risks with dermal fillers?

      The primary risk with injectable fillers is blocking blood vessels in the face. In rare cases, it can be mistakenly injected into arteries near the injection site and cause changes in your vision. By arranging your treatments to be carried out by one of the experts at the best dermal fillers clinic in Shellharbour, there are minimal chances of complications.


      At Secret Skin, we train all our clinicians in the emergency management of such complications. Our Shellharbour clinic stocks an enzyme that will instantly dissolve HA fillers. Importantly, this enzyme, also known as hyalase, can be injected into into the filler, and it melts away like butter.

    • How long do dermal fillers last?

      Dermal filler treatments can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the area you are filling. The duration of the effects of dermal filler injections differs from person to person, but you can be sure that the results of the filler will see you looking your most youthful and beautiful once the treatment is complete.

    • What does a dermal filler do?

      Dermal fillers help to give the appearance of fuller and plumper skin in target areas. As the solution is injected under the dermis or skin, it enables you to fill out contours that may be more pronounced due to the effects of ageing and give a more youthful and tighter appearance to the skin.

    • Are fillers good for your face?

      The ingredients used in modern dermal fillers are not harmful to your skin. Injecting fillers will reduce the lines in your face, neck and hands and reduce the effects of slack, loose skin caused by ageing.

    • Are filler injections painful?

      Thanks to advancements in modern dermal filler ingredients, filler injections are not painful. However, some people do experience small discomfort. Dermal filler injections include a numbing agent that mitigates even the slightest pain caused by the injections.

    • What happens when fillers wear off?

      As your filler wears off, the ingredients are designed to break down slowly in your body. The filler will simply dissipate throughout your system, causing no changes to your body. Dermal filler injections can easily be adjusted once the initial filler injection wears off.

    • Can dermal fillers be removed?

      Yes, in the rare event filler is not suitable for your body or you experience a reaction to it, we have a substance that will melt it away like butter. Dermal filler solution is something that your body will slowly break down over time and allows us to remove it, or you can opt to wait until the results wear off.
