Dermal Fillers
Chelsea Cosmetics offers a range of procedures focused on the facial region which involve the use of dermal fillers. These fillers can help to rebuild volume to various areas of the face and are popular due to the fact they are a non-surgical procedure. Dermal fillers are made of a material naturally found in the skin, lessening any risks associated with them.

Dermal fillers in Melbourne are a quick and non-invasive treatment option with the various dermal filler options determined by the different results and goals someone would be looking for. This gives dermal fillers slightly more versatility than a fat transfer; however, the varying options will last for varying degrees of time. Some will last for a few months; others can remain for up to a year. One factor that many consider a downside to dermal fillers is that repeated treatments that are needed to maintain the effects, which can be more expensive in the long run.

Various Dermal Filler Options
There are a varied selection of dermal fillers that all offer varying results. Most dermal fillers are made from a clear gel, but they differ in thickness, viscosity, and longevity. Finer fillers have a shorter lasting time frame and typically used on areas with fine skin or which require extreme smoothness.
In some cases, fillers can be blended with a local anaesthetic. This works to reduce the pain that can be experienced as a result of the procedure. The anaesthetic offers a mild numbing of the skin so that the patient is more comfortable.
Fat Transfer
Much like dermal fillers, a fat transfer can restore the youthful fullness and contours that are affected by the ageing process. A fat transfer is also known as fat augmentation, and it can have a positive effect on facial asymmetries to help provide a better balance between various facial features.
In Chelsea Cosmetics, we collect the fat using special syringes connected to a special suction machine and then we centrifuge it in a high speed. The syringes are designed to crash the large old fat cells and keep the young fat cells and fat cells intact. Large fat cells tend to die soon after conventional fat transplant while young fat cells and fat cells (vascular fat cells) tend to have higher survival rate. Only 30% of the transplanted fat survives after conventional fat transplant while 80% of the fat survives after transplant using the fat concentrate we use in Chelsea clinic.
Along with the substance being more natural to your body, people tend to prefer the idea of a fat transfer as the results will last significantly longer. You also have the added benefit of the donor area, be it the abdomen or legs looking slightly slimmer.
The fat which is used will also contain fat cells that can help improve tissue quality, and there is very little downtime required as a result of the procedure.
A fat transfer, however, is a more technically demanding procedure than that of a dermal filler injection. In some cases, fat may be absorbed by the body which alters the result as not all of the fat which has been transferred remains in the desired region. This means that you may require an additional procedure to obtain the desired results.
