What Are Dermal Fillers?

When injected, they can restore facial balance, smooth away static lines and creases, and reinstate supple, youthful volume in the lips, jawline, cheeks, temples, and under-eye region. Dermal filler injections take just minutes to complete and come with no downtime or discomfort.

What to Expect on the Day of Dermal Fillers

On the day of your procedure, you will be greeted warmly by our friendly staff and placed in a comfortable, well-equipped treatment suite. After briefly reviewing your care plan and answering any last-minute questions, we will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic to ensure a stress-free, relaxing experience.

After carefully mapping out your injection points according to your customized treatment plan, we will strategically administer your fillers to reverse volume loss, asymmetry, and poor contour definition. Great care is taken to inject neither too little nor too much filler so that your outcome looks highly natural and seamless.

Combining Dermal Fillers With Other Procedures

BOTOX and wrinkle relaxers target dynamic lines in the forehead and around the eyes, restoring a more youthful, energized facial expression in just a few minutes.

Dermal Filler Recovery

Immediately After Surgery

You can return to most of your normal daily activities immediately following your appointment. Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, or slight itching around the injection sites is common and typically improves over the first few days.

The First 24-48 Hours

Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, excessive heat, prolonged sun exposure, and unnecessary pressure or massage over the treated areas unless specifically instructed by your provider. Following these recommendations helps minimize swelling and allows the filler to settle properly.

The First Week

You’ll notice immediate improvements in facial volume and contour, while any remaining swelling or bruising continues to resolve. As the filler integrates with your tissues, your results become smoother, more balanced, and more natural-looking.

Long-Term Results

Depending on the type of dermal filler used, the treatment area, and your metabolism, results typically last 6 to 18 months. Maintenance treatments can help preserve your refreshed appearance and youthful facial contours.
