Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle. Dermal fillers made with Hyaluronic Acid (HA), Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)), Sculptra (Poly-L-lactic Acid), or Biofiller, PRF, and EZGel are commonly used to restore volume. Additionally, dermal fillers under eyes can be used to address hollowness or dark circles, enhancing the appearance of the lower eye area.
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used in medical aesthetics to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and improve the overall appearance of the skin. They can be used to fill in facial lines, restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks or under the eyes, and enhance facial contours.
Anyone looking to diminish facial lines, restore volume, or enhance facial contours may be a good candidate for dermal fillers. Ideal candidates are generally healthy, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes.
Dermal fillers produce noticeable results immediately after the procedure. The total effect can be seen once the swelling subsides, usually within a week.
Depending on the individual, dermal fillers may differ from person to person. Some fillers last 6 to 12 months, while others, depending on the type used and individual factors like metabolism, can last up to 5 years.
After treatment, patients can quickly resume normal activities with minimal downtime. Injection site swelling, bruising, and redness are common side effects.
Before treatment, avoid alcohol, NSAIDs, and blood thinners to reduce the risk of bruising. Post-treatment, avoiding strenuous activities and excessive heat for the first 24-48 hours is advisable to minimize swelling.
The therapy involves injecting fillers into targeted areas of the face. It’s generally quick and accompanied by minimal discomfort. A topical anesthetic may ease any pain during the injection process.
A: The cost of dermal fillers can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of filler used, the area being treated, and the geographic location of the clinic. On average, dermal fillers price ranges from $500 to $2,000 per syringe. For more precise pricing, it’s best to schedule a consultation with a professional who can assess your needs and provide an accurate estimate based on your treatment plan.
