DERMAL FILLERS

Dermal fillers are injectable gels placed below the skin’s surface to restore volume to the face and thereby the youthful contours.

The natural structure and volume of the face is a result of the bone structure and a layer of fat below the skin surface. With age bone density reduces and fat thins down causing your face to lose its volume contributing towards formation of folds and wrinkles.

The procedure removes fine lines, smoothens the skin and provides hydration. It can be used to plump-up small areas such as lips and brows, or re-contour larger areas such as cheeks and jaw line.

The consistency of the filler may change depending on the area used: soft fillers for lips and denser ones for more heavy contouring. The treatment is pain-free lasting to 30-45 minutes, and the results are instant. The results last 12-24 months.

Depending on your requirements we can provide a combination of treatments to complement the results of Dermal Fillers, such as treatments to restore skin tone, anti-wrinkle treatments.

Dermal Fillers for Cheeks

Dermal fillers can re-introduce volume to the cheeks, lifting them and creating a natural, youthful definition of the face. Whether your interest area is merely nasolabial folds or a more complete concern, we can customize the treatment plan to create a natural-looking, youthful appearance.

Dermal Fillers for Eyes

Because the skin around your eyes is thin, with a minimal layer of fat, the first signs of fine lines appear in this area. Crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines are generally identified as the first signs of aging.

The firmness and volume around the eye area can be restored with strategically targeted Dermal Fillers. Dark circles, eye bags, crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles, sunken eyes, and hollow temples can all be treated using Dermal Fillers around the eye area. Depending on your concerns, at Christell, we customize each treatment to achieve your desired look.

Dermal Fillers for Lips

Changes in facial bone structure and loss of fat due to aging, coupled with your natural expressions, result in thinning lips and lines and furrows around the lip area. Dermal fillers can be used to overcome this; the natural contours of your lips can be regained, along with youthful skin around your lip area.
At Christell we use the lightest type of fillers, restoring your lips’ youthful pout, allowing them to move naturally and still feel soft. The treatment ensures fillers are used for subtle changes making your lips look younger. Depending on your desired results, we at Christell can customize the treatment.

Dermal Fillers for your Face

Due to loss of bone density and tissue volume, you face changes with time. With dermal fillers, you can now lift and reshape your face without going through invasive surgery. At Christell we use a range of filters to the appropriate areas to subtly define and restore your youthful face.

Depending on your desired results, and the depth of placement, we customize each treatment, ensuring a subtle yet youthful look.

Dermal Fillers – Pre-Treatment Instructions

1 Week Before Treatment

Avoid blood-thinning medications & supplements (if medically approved by your doctor) to reduce bruising risk:
Aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, other NSAIDs
Vitamin E, fish oil, ginkgo biloba, garlic, ginseng
Avoid high doses of alcohol — can increase bleeding/bruising risk.
If you have cold sore history (herpes simplex), ask your provider about antiviral prophylaxis.

2–3 Days Before Treatment

Avoid intense facial treatments (facials, scrubs, peels, microneedling, lasers) to minimize skin irritation.
Limit caffeine intake to prevent dehydration.
Stay well-hydrated — aim for 2–3 liters of water daily.

On the Day of Treatment

Arrive with a clean face — no makeup, creams, or sunscreen.
Eat a light meal beforehand to help prevent dizziness.
Wear comfortable clothing and avoid tight headwear or sunglasses pressing on treatment areas afterward.
Do not consume alcohol or caffeine before the procedure.

Inform your provider if you have:

Any active skin infection (acne, cold sores, wounds) at the injection site.
Bleeding disorders or are on anticoagulant therapy.
Allergies to filler components (e.g., lidocaine, hyaluronic acid).
Autoimmune diseases or immune-compromising conditions.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding (fillers are not recommended).

Mindset Prep

Mild swelling, redness, or bruising is normal after fillers.
Results are immediate but will settle within 1–2 weeks.
Plan treatments at least 2 weeks before major events for optimal healing and appearance.

Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising is normal and usually resolves in a few days.
Don’t wash the area for 6 hours
Avoid makeup on the same day
Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or intense cardio — increased blood flow can worsen swelling/bruising.
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (unless prescribed by your doctor).
Sleep with head slightly elevated to reduce swelling.
Use cold compresses for mild swelling or discomfort — 10 minutes at a time.
Avoid tanning bed, hot water, hot showers, using the hair dryer, saunas for 24hrs
Hydrate well with 2-3 litres of water for 2 days
Avoid facial massages, facials, chemical peels, micro-needling, or laser treatments in the treated area.
Avoid excessive sun exposure — always use broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Do not manipulate filler areas to “shape” or push product.
Bruising may appear or worsen during the first few days — this is normal.
Results may take 1–2 weeks to fully settle.
Follow up with your provider if you notice unusual pain, asymmetry, lumps, or skin discoloration.
