Dermal fillers
What is it?
The natural ageing process causes the skin to lose volume and firmness. Fillers can be used to add the lost volume and firmness to achieve a restored look. Pibu believes in enhancing natural beauty over dramatic results. Belotero is one of the range of products used to compensate lost volume. The gel is made of cross-linked sodium hyaluronate with lidocaine hydrochloride. It undergoes slow resorption and degrades over time.
Pre-treatment need to know
You should not proceed with treatment if you have an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients. if you have a tendency to develop keloids or granulomas, have inflamed or infected skin. A comprehensive medical history will be taken to ensure that this treatment is suitable for you. Pregnant and or breast feeding mothers or adolescents under 18 years of age will not be treated.
Side effects can include bleeding, bruising, swelling, numbness, redness, itching or pain after treatment. This usually goes away on its own . Other side effects can include inflammation, infections, hardening, nodule formation, allergic reactions and slight discoloration of the area treated. More serious side effects can occur but this is rare.
Post treatment need to know
During treatment a fine needle will be used to administer the filler. Numbing cream will be applied prior to the treatment. Results can be seen immediately but this will vary depending on the depth of the wrinkle or the volume defect to be treated. The injection site may occasionally harden or discolour somewhat and generally disappears after a short time. Re-treatment time will vary according to the product used. Typically, the dermal filler will last 6-12months.
After treatment, you should allow your ksin to rest and should not apply make up for at least 12 hours. Avoid the sauna or steam bath for 2 weeks after treatment. Please avoid sun and UV light exposure on the treated areas so that the material can become embedded in the tissue. Avoid applying pressure or handling the treated area.
