Dermal Fillers - volume depletion treatment
Dermal fillers are a soft tissue injectable treatment, typically consisting of hyaluronic acid - a naturally occurring polysaccharide that is present in skin and cartilage. Fillers are FDA approved and can provide favorable cosmetic results when injected properly by a qualified injector.
What to expect:
Typically require a topical anesthetic
Total appointment time about an hour (with the numbing)
Not recommended to exercise for 24 hours post treatment
Do not disturb, press or manipulate the injected area for 24 hours
Try to sleep on your back the first night post treatment
Common treatment areas:
Lips
Cheeks
Marionette lines
Nasolabial fold
Jawline
Results are typically immediate and can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. The duration is dependent on multiple factors: the type of filler, the area of treatment and how quickly your body metabolizes the product.
