No more Lines, no more Wrinkles
Fillers are fantastically versatile as they can remove wrinkles, soften lines and creases, improve the appearance of acne scars, and produce that sexy movie star pout.
Made of stabilised hyaluronic acid, fillers are a natural component of the skin and the second largest next to collagen. Hyaluronic acid holds 1000 times its own weight in water to help restore volume to the treated area.

How will I Look after Receiving a Filler Injection?
Normal activity may be resumed immediately; however, there might be mild swelling and bruising at the injection site. Swelling should resolve within 2 days and bruising may take up to one week to diminish. Concealer can help to cover any temporary imperfections.
To help decrease possible bruising at the site of injection, we strongly advise that you:
- Avoid aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications
- Avoid St. John's Wort
- Avoid high doses of vitamin E supplements
- Avoid excessive alcohol consumption
- Do not excessively manipulate the treated area for 4 to 5 hours
New Trends in Applying Fillers
The time has changed when we used to simply remove nasolabial folds or static wrinkles with dermal fillers. We now approach the patient’s face holistically by identifying all problems relating to aging, which also includes a volume loss and movement of facial fat pads inferiorly. Therefore, a totally new approach for global face rejuvenation includes volume restoration. Deep placement of volumizing dermal fillers will contribute to the lifting effect of jowls, nasolabial folds and mouth corners, cheek enhancement will contribute to a more youthful and beautiful appearance, and light reflection on the face will reveal a more rejuvenated look after volume has been replaced.
Studies have also shown that men and women prefer a partner with prominent and broad cheekbones, and many younger women now also request cheek augmentation.
Fillers must be injected by a trained doctor. For advanced techniques, Contact 8th Sense today on 011 884 6418 or email 8th Sense for a consultation.
