Skin Treatments

The likelihood of developing a bruise after an injectable aesthetic treatment can vary depending on factors such as the specific treatment performed, the injection technique used, and individual factors such as skin sensitivity and propensity to bruise. While bruising is a possible side effect of injectable treatments, it is not guaranteed for every patient.

To minimize the risk of bruising, practitioners may employ techniques such as using a fine needle or cannula, applying gentle pressure after injection, and avoiding areas with prominent blood vessels. Additionally, patients can help reduce the risk of bruising by avoiding blood-thinning medications or supplements prior to treatment, following post-treatment care instructions provided by the practitioner, and avoiding vigorous exercise or activities that may increase blood flow to the treated area immediately after treatment.

Overall, while bruising is a potential side effect of injectable aesthetic treatments, it is often minimal and temporary, resolving within a few days to a week in most cases.

The duration of dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections varies depending on several factors, including the specific product used, the treatment area, individual metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Generally:

• Profhilo: Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid-based injectable treatment designed to improve skin hydration and elasticity. It consists of a unique formulation of stabilized hyaluronic acid that spreads evenly within the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Profhilo typically provides results that last around 6 to 12 months. However, some individuals may experience longer-lasting effects, depending on factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and treatment area.
• Polynucleotide (PN): Polynucleotide, contain a substance derived from salmon DNA that promotes tissue regeneration and repair. PN are used to improve skin texture, elasticity, and hydration. The longevity of PN  can vary, but they generally provide results that last around 6 to 12 months. Like other injectable treatments, the duration of results may vary depending on individual factors.
• PRP:  In general, the effects of PRP therapy may last for several months to a year or more. However, multiple treatment sessions may be required to achieve optimal results, especially for chronic conditions or conditions requiring ongoing maintenance.

  It’s important to note that individual responses to PRP therapy can vary, and results may not be permanent. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and overall health can influence the longevity of PRP effects.

Aesthetic treatments, like any medical procedure, carry certain risks. Some potential risks associated with aesthetic treatments include:

• Infection: There is a risk of infection with any injectable treatment or procedure that breaks the skin barrier. It’s essential to ensure that proper aseptic techniques are followed, and sterile equipment is used to minimize this risk.

• Allergic reactions: Some individuals may be allergic to certain ingredients used in aesthetic treatments, such as lidocain. While rare, allergic reactions can occur and may manifest as redness, itching, or swelling at the treatment site.

• Nerve damage: Improper injection techniques or placement of fillers or antiwrinkle injections can potentially lead to nerve damage. This can result in temporary or permanent numbness, weakness, or changes in sensation in the affected area.

• Unsatisfactory results: Despite careful planning and execution, aesthetic treatments may not always produce the desired results. Factors such as individual anatomy, skin type, and response to treatment can influence outcomes.

• Overcorrection or undercorrection: Overcorrection occurs when too much filler or botulinum toxin is injected, leading to an unnatural appearance or undesired effects. Conversely, undercorrection occurs when insufficient product is used, resulting in suboptimal results.

• Asymmetry: Asymmetry can occur from dermal fillers for several reasons:
  • Injection Technique: If the dermal filler is not injected symmetrically on both sides of the face or in the desired areas, it can lead to asymmetry.
  • Individual Anatomy: Each person’s facial anatomy is unique, and subtle differences in facial structure can contribute to asymmetry. The natural contours and proportions of the face may vary from one side to the other.
  • Product Migration: Dermal fillers can sometimes migrate away from the injection site, leading to asymmetrical distribution of filler material. This can occur if the filler is injected too superficially or if there is movement or pressure applied to the treated area shortly after injection.
  • Swelling and Bruising: Immediately after receiving dermal filler injections, it’s common for the treated area to experience swelling and bruising. This swelling can sometimes mask asymmetry initially, but as the swelling resolves, any underlying asymmetry may become more apparent.
  • Volume Correction: In some cases, dermal fillers may be used to correct volume loss or asymmetry in certain areas of the face. However, if the filler is not distributed evenly or if too much filler is injected into one area, it can create asymmetry in other areas of the face.
  • Muscle Movement: Facial expressions and muscle movement can affect the distribution of dermal fillers over time. Asymmetry may become more noticeable when the muscles in the face contract or relax.
  • Dermal fillers have the potential to migrate from the injection site or cause asymmetry if not administered correctly. This can lead to unevenness or lumps in the treated area.

• Rare complications: In rare cases, more serious complications such as vascular occlusion (blockage of blood vessels), tissue necrosis (death of tissue), or anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) can occur. While uncommon, these complications require immediate medical attention.

  During your free consultation, any concerns you may have will be discussed with Doctor Paravic.

There’s no restriction on the number of areas that can be treated simultaneously. We can address as many areas as necessary in a single session. However, it’s crucial to note that anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers cannot be administered in the same area on the same day. If both treatments are planned, anti-wrinkle injections will be administered first, followed by dermal filler injections two weeks later. As for dermal fillers, we have the flexibility to treat the entire face in one session. For those who prefer a gradual enhancement, we typically begin with the mid-face and progress to the lower face over subsequent sessions.

Dr Paravic will discuss your requirements and recommend the best treatment plan for you during your consultation.

• Profhilo is known for its unique formulation, which stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin, leading to improved hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality. While some individuals may notice an immediate improvement in skin hydration, the full effects of Profhilo typically become noticeable after about 4-6 weeks. This timeframe allows for collagen remodeling and regeneration to take place gradually, resulting in smoother, more radiant skin.
• Polynucleotide (PN) Treatments: Polynucleotide (PN) injections contain a substance derived from salmon DNA, which promotes tissue regeneration and repair. The timeline for seeing results from PN treatments can vary depending on the specific formulation used and the treatment area. In general, individuals may begin to see improvements in skin texture, firmness, and hydration within a few weeks to a couple of months after treatment. However, optimal results may take longer to manifest, with continued improvements observed over several months as collagen production is stimulated and tissue regeneration occurs.

We appreciate that you may have a question that springs to mind after your session has ended. Dr Paravic is available to answer any questions via several methods, simply chose the one most convenient for you.

Typically, the results of aesthetic treatments are subtle and natural-looking. You may receive compliments such as “You look refreshed,” “You look beautiful,” or “You must’ve had a good night’s sleep.” These comments often reflect the subtle enhancements achieved through the treatment.

In most cases, the changes are noticeable when comparing before and after photos rather than in everyday interactions. This emphasis on natural results allows individuals to enhance their appearance while maintaining a refreshed and rejuvenated look without appearing overdone or artificial.
