What are Fillers
Dermal fillers are injections used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and create a more youthful look. They can be used to enhance facial features, reduce the appearance of aging skin, and treat wrinkles and scars. These treatments are commonly used to plump lips, fill in hollows under the eyes, restore volume in the cheeks, and smooth out nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth).
Different types of dermal fillers use different ingredients such as collagen or hyaluronic acid that work differently based on their composition. The experienced provider will help determine which filler is best suited for each individual’s desired outcome.
Benefits of Using Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers provide a variety of benefits for those looking to enhance or reverse signs of aging. First, dermal fillers are minimally invasive and typically require little to no downtime after treatment. Secondly, the results can last up to several months or years depending on the type of filler used and the area treated with possible touch-ups as needed over time. Thirdly, some dermal fillers even help stimulate collagen production which can help improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and create a more youthful appearance. Lastly, because they do not require surgery or anesthesia, dermal fillers offer a safe and effective way to target specific areas in order to achieve desired results without costly downtime or operational risks.
Other benefits of using dermal fillers include:
- Improvement in facial symmetry
- Reducing age spots
- Increase fullness in lips
- Enhance facial features without surgery
- Instantaneous results with quick recovery time
Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
Dermal fillers have been deemed both safe and effective treatments when performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional. While there may be certain risks that come with any cosmetic procedure, dermal fillers are generally very safe. Depending on the type of filler used, the areas treated and the amount of product injected, most side effects will be mild, temporary, and easily managed. Overall though, when looking for a non-invasive solution to address wrinkles or other signs of aging using dermal fillers can provide both safe and long-lasting results.
What You Need to Know Before Getting Dermal Fillers
Before getting dermal fillers it is important to do your research and find a qualified and experienced provider. You should make sure to ask questions about the type of filler being used, any potential risks associated with it, what areas will be treated, and how much product will be injected. It is also important to know that dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid which can cause an allergic reaction in some patients so you should always let your doctor know if you are allergic to any products or ingredients that may be used in the injection process. Additionally, many people like to get a consultation prior to treatment to ensure they have realistic expectations and understand how dermal fillers can help achieve their desired results.
What to Expect During Your Dermal Filler
During a dermal filler treatment, the entire process typically takes about 30 minutes. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, however, your doctor may numb the area beforehand to reduce any potential pain. You should expect slight swelling or redness at the injection site and it is normal for there to be some minor bruising. After the injection, you can resume most of your activities right away, however, it is best to avoid strenuous activities that could put pressure on the treated area.
Preparing for Your Dermal Filler Treatment
Preparing for a dermal filler treatment is an important step that should not be overlooked. To ensure the best possible results, you should abstain from taking certain medications or supplements, such as ibuprofen and aspirin, at least two weeks prior to your procedure.
Additionally, it is recommended that you avoid any extreme changes in temperature (including hot tubs and saunas) as well as excessive sun exposure for several days before your treatment. You should also stay well-hydrated and eat healthy meals to keep your body in top shape for the procedure. Lastly, you should discuss any allergies or medical conditions with one of our providers beforehand so we can customize the treatment plan accordingly.
Tips for Maintaining the Results of Your Dermal Filler Treatment
After receiving dermal fillers, the results can last for months to years depending on the type of product used and the area that was treated. To help maintain the results of dermal filler treatment, it is important to take good care of your skin and follow a healthy lifestyle. It is recommended that you limit sun exposure, use sunscreen whenever out in the sun, and avoid activities that may aggravate the injection area such as strenuous exercise or extreme facial expressions.
Additionally, you should keep the injected area moisturized with a gentle hydrating cream. Lastly, make sure to have regular follow-up appointments with our providers so we can check on your progress and see if any additional treatments are needed.

What is a Liquid Facelift aka Lunchtime Facelift?
A “liquid facelift” also known as the “lunchtime facelift” is achievable with a combination of cosmetic injectables, including dermal fillers and neurotoxins such asBot60x. It is an ideal facial rejuvenation alternative to a more invasive surgical procedure such as a traditional facelift. A liquid facelift is used to lift sagging skin, plump areas where age-related volume loss has occurred, and smooth wrinkles and fine lines.
Typically, a combination of high-quality dermal fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane will be used to sculpt and lift the face. Volume may be added to lips and the shape enhanced to complete the rejuvenated look.Bot60x may then be employed to relax expression lines and smooth wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. The result is a smoother, more youthful, and lifted appearance.
