DERMAL FILLERS

Juvederm, Restylane, Revanesse, and Radiesse

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. Fillers made with Hyaluronic Acid (HA), Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)), Sculptra (Poly-L-lactic Acid), or Biofiller, PRF, and EZGel.

FAQs

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.
