Dermal Fillers

WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS AND HOW DO THEY WORK?

Dermal Fillers are composed of a naturally occurring substance in our bodies called Hyaluronic acid (HA). HA fillers are wonderful for gently restoring volume and enhancing your facial features. Whether you're interested in lip fillers or cheek enhancements, we customize our fillers to help you achieve your goals with a look that feels just right for you. Our high-quality fillers help to plump and contour your face, giving you a refreshed and youthful appearance, all without the need for invasive surgery. Typically, depending on the treatment area, the amount used, and the type of fillers, you can expect results to last from 6 months up to a year.

Frequently asked questions about
Dermal Fillers:

  • Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume loss, fill in facial lines and hollows, contour and enhance facial features, and improve facial profile and symmetry. They are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies and provide immediate results for a more youthful appearance.

  • Most dermal fillers last up to 24 months, depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and the individual’s lifestyle and metabolism.

  • Facial line reduction (nasolabial folds and marionette lines), volume restoration, mid face rejuvenation and non-surgical face lift, contour and enhance facial features, promote facial balancing, improve facial profile and asymmetries.

  • Results are immediate, though final results are typically seen after swelling subsides (within a few days and up to two weeks).

  • Common side effects are generally mild and may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within a few days or up to two weeks. In rare instances, more serious side effects such as allergic reactions or vascular complications could occur, but these are uncommon.

  • Dermal fillers can often be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Reversing dermal fillers may be necessary to address dissatisfied results.

  • Post treatment instructions for dermal fillers are crucial for optimal results and minimizing side effects. Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun, and heat exposure for 24 hours. Do not touch or manipulate the treated areas to prevent filler displacement. Avoid makeup for the first 24 hours to reduce irritation. Intermittent icing can be applied to treated areas to reduce swelling and bruising. Contact your clinician if unusual swelling, bruising, or discomfort occurs. Following these guidelines will help achieve the best outcome from your treatment.
