Dermal Fillers

Dermal filler is an injectable gel made of hyaluronic acid a substance naturally found in the body that attracts and binds water molecules to add volume. As we age the collagen in our skin breaks down making our skin look less youthful causing wrinkles and sagging. Dermal fillers can add volume and fullness to different areas of the face to lift cheeks, smooth out wrinkles, plump the lips and enhance facial balance for a more youthful and revitalized look.

Results are seen immediately and optimal outcome will occur in about 2-5 days with results lasting anywhere from 6 months to 2 years depending on the treatment area, formula and severity of your concerns.

Side Effects and Complications

Side effects from dermal filler can include slight redness, swelling, tenderness and occasional bruising for up to several days. Avoid strenuous activities and exercise for 24 hours post procedure. You may apply cool compress gently to area of swelling for 15 minutes each hour. Sleep on your back with face up if possible. Do not massage or manipulate the injected site.
