Why Choose Dermal Filler Injections?
Dermal fillers are a highly sought-after non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation and enhancement for a number of reasons:
- They provide immediate and visible results, with little to no downtime.
- They can restore lost facial volume, which is a key sign of aging, especially in the cheeks and temples.
- They can smooth out deep wrinkles and folds, such as laugh lines and marionette lines.
- They offer a way to enhance facial features like the lips, chin, and jawline without surgery.
- They are a temporary and reversible treatment, giving you flexibility to adjust your look over time.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – DERMAL FILLER INJECTIONS
What are dermal fillers made of?
The most common type of dermal fillers are made from a naturally occurring substance in the body called hyaluronic acid. This substance helps to hydrate and add volume to the skin. Other types of fillers are also available, which will be discussed during your consultation.
Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?
Good candidates are healthy individuals who want to address facial volume loss, smooth wrinkles, or enhance features like the lips. Patients should have realistic expectations about the results of a non-surgical treatment.
Is the procedure painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied before the injections to minimize discomfort. Many dermal fillers also contain a local anesthetic. You may feel a slight pinch and pressure during the injection, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
How long do the results last?
The duration of results depends on the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual metabolism. On average, hyaluronic acid fillers last between 6 to 18 months. Maintenance treatments are needed to sustain the results.
What is the downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience some bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites, but these effects typically subside within a few days. You can usually return to your normal routine immediately after the treatment.
RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS
What are the possible risks?
Common side effects are temporary and include bruising, swelling, redness, and tenderness. Rare but serious risks include infection, allergic reaction, or vascular occlusion, which is why it is essential to have fillers administered by a highly trained medical professional.
