Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to fill in depressions in the face.
These depressions can be deep wrinkles and folds (like the ones you get from the corner of your nose to the lips), pitted acne scars or other scars, crows feet, sunken cheeks, or thin lips.
These types of injections are one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
It can usually be done on a lunch break, and requires no time off from work.
You can also combine the filler injections with other procedures to customize your treatment.
Here are a few interesting facts for those considering dermal fillers: • Some fillers can be dissolved instantly with another injection, so if you don't like your results you can reverse them! • These fillers can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the substance you select.
• Most patients do not need an anesthetic for the procedure, but your surgeon may provide you with a topical numbing cream if requested.
• Man-made fillers are often hypo-allergenic and free of animal products, which can be important to patients who have a tendency to allergic reactions to synthetic substances.
• These type of injections are one of the lowest-risk procedures available.
• Only filler injections from animal products have an allergen risk.
• There is no age limit on who can get dermal fillers once the patient is 18 years old.
• You can even use your own fat as a dermal filler, if you don't want to use a synthetic substance.
This is called analogous filler, and is another good alternative for patients worried about an allergic reaction.
Dermal fillers are an excellent companion treatment to Botox.
Botox is a medicine that blocks nerve signals to selected facial muscles, which relaxes the appearance of existing wrinkles and prevents them from deepening.
You can use dermal fillers to plump up sunken cheeks that come with aging, along with deep creases and folds on the lower half of the face, and then use Botox to stop the appearance of wrinkles on the brow and around the eyes.
It is always essential to have a board certified plastic surgeon or a certified RN or esthetician give a dermal filler treatment (or any cosmetic procedure).
Using an uncertified surgeon, a medical doctor without certification in cosmetic surgery, or an uncertified esthetician increases the risk that you will have complications or unsatisfactory results.
Ask your friends for a recommendation of a surgeon who is safe and that they have liked.
