About
Volume loss and softened contours are a natural part of aging, and dermal fillers are one of the most requested non-surgical options for addressing them. At Riva Skin, Hair & Aesthetics, Fillers are used to restore volume and enhance facial contours with results tailored to each patient.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Fillers are injectable treatments, typically gel-based, used to add volume, smooth contours, and enhance features like the lips, cheeks, or jawline, or to soften the appearance of static lines that persist even at rest.
How Long Do Results Last?
Depending on the specific filler product and treatment area, results are temporary and typically need periodic top-ups to maintain the desired look. Your specialist will discuss expected timelines specific to the product used in your treatment.
What to Expect: Procedure, Downtime & Aftercare
Most fillers are mixed with a local anaesthetic, and a numbing cream can be applied beforehand, so discomfort is usually minimal and brief.
Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites is common and usually settles within a few days.
Most people resume normal activities the same day.
Your specialist will advise on any temporary precautions, such as avoiding strenuous exercise or extreme heat, immediately after treatment.
