Dermal Filler

Dermal Filler

Dermal fillers are used to add volume to areas of the face that have lost elasticity or have developed wrinkles and fine lines due to aging. Dermal fillers contain substances such as hyaluronic acid or collagen that are injected beneath the skin's surface to plump up and fill in lines and hollow areas, providing a smoother and more youthful appearance.

Common Areas of Treatment are Nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth), marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin), lips, cheeks, and under-eye hollows. This common cosmetic procedure typically produces results right away and can last months or years.

You can get dermal fillers in a medical clinic or medical spa. The service provider cleans your skin and may apply a lotion or cream with an anesthetic. The anesthetic numbs the area so the treatment will be more comfortable. It's painful for a little while when injecting small amounts of fillers under your skin. The needle will pinch or sting, but most people don’t experience much pain during these injections. Your provider may inject the fillers in several areas. The whole process can take a few minutes or up to an hour.

You may experience bruises, swelling, or discomfort after getting the injections. Usually, these side effects are mild and go away in a few days. Many people notice results right away after getting these injections, but not everyone. Everybody’s skin shows different results which depends on several factors, including the type of treatment you received.
