Dynamic to Static: Understanding Wrinkles

Our skin flourishes with collagen in our youthful years, keeping dynamic wrinkles at bay. However, as time passes, collagen dwindles, and those dynamic wrinkles transition into static wrinkles. These static lines are etched into the skin by constant facial motion and expression. Every smile and every frown leaves its mark, gradually forming those telltale signs of ageing.

frequently asked
questions

Are Dermal Fillers available at all Skin Renewal clinics?
When should one start using dermal fillers?

Early intervention is key in wrinkle treatment, starting when wrinkles are still soft to prevent them from becoming ingrained and scar-like.

Using dermal fillers to fill wrinkles prevents skin breaks and stimulates collagen production, leading to long-lasting wrinkle improvement. Regular filler injections every 6 to 12 months maintain superior results by continuously stimulating collagen.

In addition to treating wrinkles, ageing faces often lose volume in areas like the temples, eyebrows, and cheeks. Replacing lost volume with dermal fillers can defy gravity, rejuvenating the face with minimal downtime.

How does dermal fillers work?

Hyaluronic acid is abundant in human tissue, particularly in the skin, eyeballs, and cartilage. It acts as a natural shock absorber and hydrator. However, as we age, our bodies produce less of it, leading to issues like osteoarthritis and skin dehydration.

By replenishing hyaluronic acid in the skin and lips, we can improve hydration and skin thickness. Moreover, hyaluronic acid injections stimulate the body's natural collagen production, which fills wrinkles and enhances skin texture. As the filler breaks down, it prompts collagen stimulation, extending the benefits of the treatment. It's a win-win situation for skin rejuvenation.

What to expect after a dermal filler treatment

After a filler treatment, minimal swelling or bruising allows you to resume normal activities immediately. At Skin Renewal, we offer a complimentary PDT/LED session post-procedure, a healing light therapy that reduces bruising and swelling, extending the filler's effects.

You can apply makeup immediately and continue with your usual activities, though expect some redness and swelling for a few hours to a few days.

At Skin Renewal, we schedule a follow-up consultation two weeks later to ensure your satisfaction and address any concerns. To minimise bruising, avoid aspirin, myprodol, omega-3, or high-dose vitamin E supplements 10 days before the procedure (unless medically necessary).

For two weeks post-procedure, it's also advised to refrain from saunas and steam baths.

Are dermal fillers safe?

Dermal fillers, derived from hyaluronic acid, are created using human genes within bacteria. This protein is highly consistent across species, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and eliminating the need for pre-treatment skin tests.

These fillers have a proven safety record. They have been used in millions of patients over 12 years with minimal side effects.

Can all skin types be safely treated with dermal fillers?

Yes, all skin types can be safely treated with dermal fillers.

I came to Skin Renewal for a lip filler and was concerned about my frown lines. Dr Lestonn is a genius. The information given on each procedure as well as the alternative procedures were detailed and simplified in a way that allowed ME to make an informed decision. The procedure was painless, but Dr Lestonn is a total perfectionist balancing my lips and treating my frown lines with extra TLC. My experience here has given me more confidence to put my best face forward. The professionalism, care and customer satisfaction is unmatched. I'm definitely coming back for more. There is no judgement, or pressure, just care and a genuine interest in patients. I am delighted with the results. Thank you Skin Renewal for making me smile, with fuller lips of course!
