Dermal Filler

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They work by injecting a gel-like substance, usually made of hyaluronic acid, beneath the skin to add fullness and hydration.

The results of dermal fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.

Yes, dermal fillers are FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by a licensed and experienced professional. However, like all medical treatments, there may be some temporary side effects such as swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site.

Dermal filler treatments are quick, usually taking about 30 to 45 minutes. Your provider will clean the area, apply a numbing agent if needed, and then carefully inject the filler. You’ll be able to return to your daily activities right after the procedure.

Most patients experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically subsides within a few days. There’s no required downtime, so you can resume normal activities immediately, though it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise or alcohol for 24 hours after the treatment.
