DERMAL FILLERS

ABOUT DERMAL FILLERS

Dermal fillers are non-surgical injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid - the featured ingredient in many moisturizers, and a naturally occurring compound found in skin. Dermal fillers work to restore and plump up soft tissue volume, smooth the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and / or give lips and cheeks a naturally fuller look.

WHAT IT IS

During your complimentary consultation our nurse injector will evaluate your skin condition, facial structure and your concerns to select the best product for your needs. Filler will then be then injected into your desired treatment area and will add structure and volume to bring sunken skin back to the surface. Results are natural-looking and treatment is safe with little downtime.

HOW IT WORKS

Depending on your selected treatment area(s), the procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours (which your injector can better specify prior to booking). Mild swelling, bruising, and soreness may occur. You will see your results immediately and can expect them to last 6-24 months (depending on filler and area).

WHAT TO EXPECT

FAQs

  • • Please arrive with clean, makeup-free, skin so that we may complete proper assessment & determine where to make injections.

    • Avoid NSAIDS (i.e. Ibuprofen®, Advil®, Motrin®, Aleve®, Celebrex®), Fish oil, Gingko Biloba, St. John’s Wort and high doses of Vitamin E for one week prior to injection.

    • Avoid Retin-A, Tretinoin, and Retinoids for three days prior to injection.

    • No dental appointments two weeks prior or two weeks following injectable treatment.

    • Clients who are pregnant or nursing are not eligible for neurotoxin treatment.

  • Dermal fillers contain lidocaine, a common anesthetic, which helps patients tolerate the minor pinching feeling associated with injections. Topical numbing agents can be utilized to lesson discomfort.

  • One of the things that makes dermal fillers so great is there's little downtime. Immediately after the treatment, there may be redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness and / or itching at or near the injection site. These symptoms are normal and should resolve within a few days. But for this reason we do not recommend scheduling your appointment right before a big event.

  • Results can be seen immediately after treatment and will get better over the course of 2-3 weeks as the filler integrates with your own tissue. Filler can last anywhere from 6-24 months depending on the filler used and the injection area.

  • We carry a range of dermal fillers. Our nurse injector will discuss best options to meet your goals during your consultation.

  • • No makeup immediately following treatment.

    • No lying down for four hours.

    • Try to sleep on back for 24-48 hours post treatment. Do your best to avoid pushing face into pillow or surface, during this time, to prevent filler migration.

    • Avoid touching your face for 24 hours post treatment, except to apply any topicals advised by provider.

    • No exercise for 24 hours. Walking is okay.

    • Avoid extreme heat or cold for 24 hours.
