Dermal fillers

With aging, the skin begins to lose hyaluronic acid, collagen, subcutaneous fat and elasticity.

As a result, and due to the force of gravity and constant muscle use, wrinkles form, the face loses volume, and the skin becomes tired and dull.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that has a major impact on building the extracellular space of the skin, where it plays a very important role in water balance, as well as healing.

Hyaluron-based dermal fillers fill wrinkles and revitalize the face.

The speed of the procedure, safety, and immediately visible results are the main advantages of this treatment.

Hyaluronic dermal fillers are intended for the treatment of all areas of the face.

By injecting them into the skin, wrinkles are filled, but also lost volume is restored (filling in the cheeks, emphasizing the lost chin line, lifting the corners of the lips) and skin rehydration is achieved due to the retraction of water molecules.

It has also been shown that fillers affect the regeneration and creation of new collagen.

It is most important to emphasize that hyaluronic dermal fillers make it possible to achieve and maintain the natural appearance of facial contours.

They can treat:

• Nasolabial wrinkles (from nose to lips)
• Perioral wrinkles (smoker’s wrinkles around the lips)
• Periorbital wrinkles (wrinkles on the outside of the eyes)
• Cheekbone lifting
• Full face lift
• Chin caused by aging
• Neck, décolleté and arm rejuvenation
• Lip augmentation

In addition to the fact that hyaluronic dermal fillers do not threaten the naturalness of the face and facial expressions, the addition of hyaluronic to our skin is primarily beneficial.

There are several types of dermal fillers on the market, with different ingredients, application sites, duration and applications.

In the offer of the Bagatin Polyclinic you can find the most famous brands of fillers:

You can start dermal filler treatments with the creation of the first more pronounced wrinkles.

For some, they appear at an earlier age (in their late twenties), and for others much later, which is due to genetics and lifestyle (smoking, insufficient sleep, rest, daily stress).

From the appearance of the first wrinkles onwards, hyaluronic dermal fillers can be replenished approximately every year to maintain the youthful appearance of the skin for as long as possible and maintain a good facial contour.

During your consultation with our doctors, we recommend that you have your skin scanned using the Observ or Visia device so that we can obtain a professional analysis of your facial skin. If you decide to have dermal fillers applied after the skin analysis, you will receive a professional skin analysis as a gift.

Also, before each application of dermal fillers, our medical team will take a photo of you in our professional photo studio so that we can monitor the results of the treatment in the best possible way, to mutual satisfaction.

It is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the face and remove makeup before the treatment.

An anesthetic cream is then applied to the face to soften the injection.

After removing the anesthetic cream, the face is cleaned once more and the application of dermal fillers can begin.

The filler application only takes a few minutes, and after the treatment there is almost no recovery.

The first step towards such a successful treatment is certainly an experienced doctor. At the Bagatin Polyclinic, we are proud of them, all our expert doctors who apply dermal fillers.

The Polyclinic team is led by Dr. Tomic Bagatin, a specialist in maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery of the head and neck, and the official trainer and educator of the Allergan company for the application of Juvéderm hyaluronic dermal fillers and facial wrinkle therapy in Croatia and the entire region.

The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis at the Bagatin Polyclinic.

After talking with you, and considering the desired effect, the doctors will choose the dermal filler to apply.

After the above preparation, the filler is injected into the desired area using small, thin needles.

During the treatment, you will receive information about how many fillers have been applied and, if you wish, you can view the effect of what has been done at any time.

The treatment itself lasts, depending on the areas being treated and the amount of filler applied, a total of 30 to 60 minutes.

Upon completion of the application, you will receive your ‘filler passport’, which is a guarantee that an original, properly stored and correct dermal filler was used during the application, along with its own product serial number.

Among the more significant side effects, an allergic reaction to the product may occur, which is extremely rare since it is a natural ingredient.

In the hands of inexperienced, unprofessional doctors and insufficient knowledge of facial anatomy, necrosis of a part of the skin can occur. However, it is important to know that this side effect can be prevented by timely and rapid reaction, because it is a truly terminal stage preceded by many symptoms that you can recognize on your own. It is extremely rare throughout the world.

In the event of any side effects, the doctors at the Bagatin Polyclinic are at your disposal and you can contact them, consult by phone and email, or come for a check-up.

After treatment with dermal fillers, going to the sauna, sun exposure, going to the solarium, pressing the part of the face that has been treated is not recommended in the short term.
