Why is Structured Cosmetic Dermal Filler Essential for Optimal Results? Because it Lifts.

Structured cosmetic injections of dermal fillers offer unique benefits that contribute to achieving the desired aesthetic outcomes. By injecting fillers in a structured or organised manner, practitioners can leverage their vector properties, effectively lifting the skin in specific directions. This approach goes beyond merely filling the skin and introduces an element of lifting, resulting in a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Years of clinical research support the effectiveness of this technique. In a groundbreaking paper published in 2002, Dr Peter Kim demonstrated that structured filler injections can predictably lift the skin according to the injector’s intention. For instance, when dermal fillers are strategically injected into the nose, it is possible to reshape the entire nose, enhancing its appearance from the tip to the bridge, and achieving a more aesthetically pleasing shape.

The question is in what sequence do you inject the filler and to what degrees do you lift the skin? This is where Dr Peter Kim’s Know-How is important and may be useful to you.

The principles of structured dermal filler injections are not limited to nose reshaping alone. It is useful in all dermal filler injections, if you wish to lift the skin.

Through our research, we have shown that this approach can also be successfully applied to other facial areas. For example, by employing structured dermal filler injections, we can lift different parts of the chin, creating various shapes and contours to achieve comprehensive chin reshaping and lifting.

Moreover, our studies have demonstrated that structured dermal filler injections can restore volume and lift various regions of the face. Our innovative technique, known as the structured liquid facelift, goes beyond mere volumisation, actually lifting the face and contributing to a more youthful appearance.

To summarise, structured dermal filler injection provide the following key advantages:

1. Facial Rejuvenation: By lifting the face as well as restoring the volume.

2. Nose Reshaping: Structured filler injections can comprehensively reshape and lift the nose.

3. Chin Reshaping: Structured filler injections offer comprehensive chin reshaping and lifting, allowing for customised results.

4. Customisable Results: The structured approach allows practitioners to achieve precise and customisable lifting based on individual patient needs and desired aesthetics.

Incorporating structured techniques in dermal filler injections maximises the potential for facial enhancement, offering patients the opportunity to achieve their desired look with optimal lifting.

Q: Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines?

Q: How do anti-wrinkle injections work? 

Q: Are anti-wrinkle injections safe?

A: When administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional, anti-wrinkle injections are generally considered safe. However, like any medical procedure, there can be potential risks and side effects, such as bruising, redness, swelling, or temporary muscle weakness. It is important to discuss these risks with your healthcare provider before undergoing the treatment.

Q: How long do the effects of anti-wrinkle injections last?

A: The effects of anti-wrinkle injections typically last six to 12 months. However, the duration may vary depending on individual factors such as the dosage, treatment area, and individual metabolism. Subsequent injections tend to last longer.

Q: Are dermal filler injections painful?

A: The injections are generally well-tolerated and cause minimal discomfort. Some individuals may experience a slight pinch or stinging sensation during the injection. However, if desired, a topical anesthetic cream can be applied before the procedure to minimize any potential discomfort. Dr Kim routinely gives local anaesthesia for further comfort.

Q: Can anyone receive dermal filler injections?

A: Dermal Filler injections are not suitable for everyone. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain neuromuscular disorders, or those with a known hypersensitivity to filler ingredients should avoid these injections. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider who can assess your medical history and determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Q: Can anti-wrinkle injections be combined with other cosmetic treatments?

A: Yes, dermal filler injections can be combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as neurotoxins, mesotherapy, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing, to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr Kim can recommend the most suitable combination of treatments based on your specific needs and goals.

Q: Are there any alternatives to dermal filler?

A: Dermal filler is hard to substitute. Face lift surgery is too invasive for most people. Thread lifts are temporary. Other lifting devices such as HIFU are just not effective.

The best treatment option will depend on individual factors and desired outcomes, so it’s important to discuss your options with a qualified healthcare provider.

Q: What should I expect during and after a dermal filler injection treatment?

A: During the treatment, your healthcare provider will cleanse the treatment area and administer the injections using a fine needle. The procedure usually takes around 15 to 30 minutes. After the treatment, you may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection

Q: What are the potential complications?

A: While complications from anti-wrinkle injections are rare, there are potential risks and side effects that you should be aware of. These can include:

1. Bruising: It is common to experience some bruising at the injection site. This usually resolves on its own within a few days or weeks.

2. Redness and Swelling: Mild redness and swelling can occur at the injection site. These are usually temporary and should subside within a few hours or days.

3. Headache: In some cases, individuals may experience a mild headache following the treatment. This is usually temporary and can be relieved with over-the-counter pain medication.

4. Allergic Reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions to anti-wrinkle injections can occur. Symptoms may include itching, rash, hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face or throat. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

5. Infection: While infections are extremely rare, there is a small risk of bacterial infection at the injection site. It is essential to maintain proper hygiene and follow post-treatment care instructions to minimize this risk.

6. Unwanted Results: In some cases, the desired cosmetic outcome may not be achieved, or the results may be asymmetrical or lumpy. This can happen due to individual variations in muscle response or technique. It is important to have realistic expectations and communicate your goals with your healthcare provider before the procedure.

7. Rare Systemic Side Effects: Although highly unlikely, the botulinum toxin used in anti-wrinkle injections can cause rare systemic side effects such as muscle weakness or difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing. These are serious complications and require immediate medical attention.

It is crucial to discuss the potential risks and complications with your healthcare provider before undergoing any cosmetic procedure. They will be able to evaluate your medical history, assess your suitability for the treatment, and provide you with personalised advice and recommendations.

The advantage of dermal filler injection is that in an event of complication or dissatisfaction, it can be dissolved.
