Filler, also known as dermal filler or soft tissue filler, is a cosmetic injectable substance used to add volume, restore contour, and enhance specific areas of the face. It is a gel-like substance made from various materials, such as hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite, which are biocompatible and compatible with the human body. When injected into targeted areas, fillers help replenish lost volume, smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, and improve overall facial appearance. They can be used to augment lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, and other facial features, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. The effects of fillers are temporary and typically last several months to a year, depending on the specific type of filler used.
For your initial visit, we prioritize your satisfaction by conducting a thorough consultation and comprehensive skin assessment. This essential step enables us to select the most suitable Filler treatment tailored specifically to your unique skin type, addressing your individual concerns and aligning with your overall aesthetic goals
CONSULTATION
The process begins with a consultation where you discuss your aesthetic goals, concerns, and desired outcomes with a qualified medical professional. They will evaluate your suitability for the treatment and recommend the appropriate type of filler for your specific needs.
PREPARATION
The treatment area is cleansed, and the medical professional may apply a topical anesthetic or numbing cream to minimize any potential discomfort during the injection.
MARKING
The medical professional will mark the specific areas on your face where the filler will be injected, taking into account your desired results and facial anatomy. This mapping ensures precision during the injection process.
FILLER INJECTION
Using a fine needle or a cannula, the medical professional carefully injects the filler into the predetermined points on your face. They may massage the area to ensure even distribution of the filler for a natural-looking result. The number of injections and the amount of filler used will depend on your individual needs and treatment plan.
PREPARATION
There are a few steps that our clients must complete in preparation for treatment. These include:
Prior to the treatment, it is advisable to avoid medications and substances that thin the blood, such as aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), fish oil, and certain herbal supplements. These can increase the risk of bruising or bleeding at the injection site. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance on specific medications to avoid.
Inform the medical professional about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or previous treatments you have undergone. This includes sharing information about any known allergies or sensitivities to certain substances.
It is recommended to avoid alcohol consumption and smoking before the treatment. Alcohol and smoking can potentially interfere with the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
While filler injections typically have minimal downtime, it's still a good idea to plan your schedule accordingly. You may experience temporary redness, swelling, or slight bruising at the injection sites, so it's helpful to avoid important events or activities immediately after the treatment.
POST TREATMENT
After the injections, the medical professional may provide you with post-treatment care instructions. This may include recommendations on avoiding excessive touching or pressure on the treated area, avoiding certain activities, and applying ice or a cold compress to minimize swelling. Depending on the individual and the specific filler used, a follow-up appointment may be scheduled to assess the results and make any necessary adjustments. This allows the medical professional to ensure your satisfaction with the treatment outcome.
Dermal fillers are injectable substances designed to add volume, enhance contours, and rejuvenate the face. They are typically made of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials. When injected into specific areas of the face, fillers help plump the skin, smooth wrinkles and fine lines, and restore youthful volume. The fillers work by attracting and retaining moisture, providing structure and support to the treated areas.
Are filler injections safe?
Yes, when performed by a qualified medical professional, filler injections are generally considered safe. The fillers used are FDA-approved and have a proven safety record. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. It is essential to discuss your medical history, allergies, and any concerns with the healthcare provider before undergoing treatment.
How long do the effects of fillers last?
The duration of filler effects can vary depending on factors such as the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual metabolism. In general, the effects of hyaluronic acid fillers can last from six months to a year, while some longer-lasting fillers can provide results for up to two years. Regular touch-up treatments are often recommended to maintain the desired outcome.
What can I expect during and after the filler injection procedure?
During the procedure, the medical professional will cleanse the treatment area, apply a topical anesthetic if needed, and carefully inject the filler into specific points on your face. The injections themselves are typically well-tolerated and involve minimal discomfort. After the treatment, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects usually subside within a few days. Following the post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare provider will help optimize your recovery and minimize any potential side effects.
