Dermal Filler Injections

No, whilst many treatments can be performed during your initial appointment, this procedure requires a pre-assessment to determine that it is safe and appropriate to proceed with. The pre-assessment forms a part of your initial appointment. During your first visit, our experienced podiatrist will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your condition. This evaluation allows us to understand your individual needs, make a diagnosis, understand any causative factors to reduce the risk of future recurrence, explain all available treatment options available, and develop a personalised care plan tailored to your specific issue and needs. After the initial appointment, we can then schedule this procedure if appropriate.

Dermal fillers can last up to 12 months, with the duration depending on the treated area, the type of filler used, and individual anatomy. However, it’s essential to note that every patient metabolises fillers differently. Understanding the longevity of dermal fillers is crucial, and our experienced podiatrists can provide personalised consultations to discuss your specific needs and develop a tailored treatment plan based on your unique requirements.

At My Foot Medic, we prioritise patient comfort and safety. During dermal filler injections, patients may experience some discomfort, such as minor stinging or a sensation of pressure at the injection site. However, to ensure a positive experience, we use various techniques to minimise any potential discomfort, and apply a local anaesthetic, to enhance patient comfort during the procedure. Our experienced podiatrists are dedicated to providing personalised care and will discuss pain management options with you to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.

Dermal fillers can be a highly effective and worthwhile investment for individuals seeking to improve the comfort, function, and aesthetics of their feet.

Many of our patients have found that the benefits of dermal fillers, such as increased comfort and improved foot function, have significantly improved their quality of life. Our experienced podiatrists at My Foot Medic are dedicated to providing personalised consultations to discuss your specific needs and develop a tailored treatment plan, ensuring that dermal fillers are a worthwhile and rewarding investment in your foot health and overall well-being.

While dermal fillers are generally safe and effective for many individuals, certain groups should exercise caution or avoid dermal filler treatments. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should refrain from undergoing dermal filler injections, as the effects of fillers on fetal development and nursing infants have not been fully studied. Additionally, individuals with a history of severe allergic reactions or known allergies to the components of dermal fillers should avoid this treatment. Furthermore, those with active skin infections or inflammation at the treatment site should postpone dermal filler injections until the condition resolves. Our experienced podiatrists prioritise patient safety and will conduct thorough consultations to assess your suitability for dermal filler treatments, ensuring that the procedure is safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances.

While dermal fillers offer numerous benefits, it’s important to consider potential drawbacks. Temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site may occur, although these typically subside within a few days. In rare cases, more serious complications such as infection may present. Additionally, as dermal fillers are not permanent, repeated treatments may be necessary to maintain results. It’s vital to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner to minimise the risk of adverse effects and achieve optimal outcomes. Our dedicated team of podiatrists prioritises patient safety and satisfaction, conducting thorough consultations and providing personalised care to address any concerns and ensure a positive experience throughout the dermal filler treatment process.
