What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal Fillers are an injectable gel-like substance that sits just under the skin. They are used to plump out wrinkles, where the skin may have lost elasticity due to ageing. It can also help reset facial expression lines, such as horizontal or vertical forehead lines, and wrinkles surrounding the mouth area (so no need to stop smiling!).
Dermal fillers are one of the small group of procedures that have no downtime, meaning you’re up and ready to go as soon as your appointment is finished.
How long do they last?
Dermal Fillers are a temporary solution to ageing, and it varies from person to person. There are also different types of fillers that can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. To find out which option is best for you, book your FREE consultation with our expertly trained staff at House of Saab.

Should I choose Dermal Fillers instead of Botox?
It’s entirely your choice, and each are used to treat different areas. However, here is a quick run-down of both to help you choose the correct procedure for you.
Dermal Fillers
- A substance injected just under the skin that ‘fills in’ wrinkles, lines and scars.
- Can be used for hands as well as the face.
- Last 6 months to 2 years.
- Different types of fillers to choose from.
- No Downtime and very low risk of side effects if performed by one of our professionals.
Botox
A special bacteria is injected into the skin which ‘freezes’ the muscles that are used heavily in expressions (e.g, frowning in the forehead). They can only be used for wrinkles caused by expressions (dynamic wrinkles) and will not be able to plump out wrinkles and hollowness due to ageing (static wrinkles) Effects last around 3 to 4 months.
A low risk treatment with possible side effects such as:
- – Headache
- – Bleeding, bruising, redness or swelling
- – Itching or rashes
The good news is that as both of these treatments are effective at preventing or reversing ageing, they can be used together for different areas with different types of lines and wrinkles. During your FREE consultation at House of Saab, a member of our team will be able to assess any areas of concern and discuss the most effective treatment for you.
