Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. They are primarily used for cosmetic purposes, such as plumping the skin, filling in hollow areas, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles.
As we age, the natural production of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases, leading to loss of volume and the formation of wrinkles. Dermal fillers help by adding volume beneath the skin’s surface, filling in wrinkles and restoring a youthful, plump appearance. The treatment is minimally invasive and offers immediate and visible results with minimal downtime.
Consultation
During your initial consultation, our expert provider will begin with an in-depth assessment, discuss your goals, and create an individualized treatment plan to achieve desired results.
Treatment
The length of a dermal filler appointment can vary depending on several factors, including the number of areas being treated, the type of filler used, and the complexity of the procedure. However, on average, most dermal filler treatments take about 30-60 minutes. Your treatment time will include numbing, though most fillers contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to ensure a more comfortable experience.
Post-Treatment Care
Results from filler treatment are usually immediate. Bruising and swelling are most commonly noted post treatment and is recommended to allow a full 2 weeks to resolve. We will provide you with post-care instructions to ensure the best possible outcome.
Noticeable improvements are seen immediately after treatment with continued improvement over the next 4 to 6 weeks. This allows the filler time to integrate into the tissue.
Each dermal filler has its own specific clinical indication on how long results may last. The general range is anywhere from 12 months to 18 months. Of course, individual results may vary.
