WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS AND INJECTABLES?

Dermal fillers and injectables, also called facial fillers, are cosmetic treatments that are administered via injection. These treatments are commonly used to restore facial volume and diminish the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Dermal fillers can be used either as a preventative treatment or as a solution to signs of aging. The procedure for dermal fillers and injectables is brief, virtually painless, and requires little to no downtime. This makes dermal filler and injectable treatments a great option for patients looking for a convenient, yet effective cosmetic solution.

Can I Combine Dermal Fillers with Other Cosmetic Procedures?

Yes, dermal fillers can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to enhance overall results. For example, combining fillers with chemical peels can improve skin texture and tone while adding volume and reducing wrinkles. Laser therapy, when paired with fillers, can address skin laxity and fine lines for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. During your consultation, your skin will be assessed to ensure the combination of procedures are safe and effective for your skin type.

How Do I Choose the Right Type of Filler for My Needs?

Selecting the right type of filler depends on factors like your desired results, the specific treatment area, and how long you want the effects to last. Generally, hyaluronic acid fillers are great for adding volume to lips and reducing wrinkles, as they are temporary and have a natural feel. Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers are typically used for deeper lines and areas requiring more structure. For longer-lasting results, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) fillers or poly-L-lactic acid fillers may be considered, as they can stimulate collagen production over time. Consulting with a qualified dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon is essential to determine the most suitable filler based on your aesthetic goals and skin type.

How Long Do the Results of Dermal Fillers and Injectables Last?

How long dermal fillers and injectables last depends on the type of filler used, the area treated, and the individual’s metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, while synthetic fillers like PMMA or poly-L-lactic acid can last up to two years or more. Regular maintenance treatments are necessary to preserve the desired effects, as the body gradually absorbs the fillers over time.

Is There Any Downtime After Receiving Dermal Fillers or Injectables?

The beauty of dermal fillers and injectables is that they typically require minimal to no downtime. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. It’s common to experience some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these mild side effects usually subside in 1-3 days. Following post-treatment care instructions, such as avoiding strenuous exercise and exposure to extreme temperatures for the first 24-48 hours, can help minimize side effects.

Can Dermal Fillers be Reversed or Adjusted?

Yes, particularly hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which can be easily adjusted or reversed if needed. An enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers, allowing for adjustments or complete removal of the filler. This option provides an added layer of reassurance for those hesitant about the permanence of the results.

How Often Do I Need to Repeat the Treatment?

he frequency of repeat treatments depends on the type of filler used and how your body responds to it. For hyaluronic acid fillers, treatments might be needed every 6 to 12 months to maintain volume and smoothness. For longer-lasting fillers, treatments may only be necessary every couple of years. Your provider can give you a more accurate timeline based on your specific treatment plan.

Are Dermal Fillers and Injectables Suitable for All Skin Types?

Dermal fillers and injectables are generally suitable for all skin types, although individual reactions and results can be different. It’s important to have a consultation with a skincare professional who can assess your skin type and medical history to ensure that the chosen treatment is safe and effective for you. Special considerations may be needed for those with certain skin conditions or sensitivities to ensure optimal outcomes and minimize the risk of adverse reactions.

How Much Do Dermal Fillers and Injectables Cost?

The price of Dermal Fillers and Injectables varies widely depending on multiple factors, including the number of treatments required to achieve optimal results and the cosmetic or medical concerns you want to address. Contact us today and find out what’s best for you
