What to Expect During Treatment
Dermal filler injections are non-surgical treatments that require a single office visit for completion. However, you will need to have visited your doctor initially for a consultation to discuss your goals. Moreover, the initial consultation is an opportunity for you to ask your doctor any questions and doubts you may be having about the procedure.
During the consultation, your care provider will conduct a thorough assessment of the areas of concern to understand your condition better. Moreover, it is paramount for your doctor to review your medical history. Therefore, if you have any pre-existing conditions or are under any medications, ensure that you let your doctor know.
Complete medical history disclosure is necessary because specific allergens in the injections may cause adverse effects upon entry into the skin and thus jeopardize the safety and success of treatment.
On the day of treatment, your doctor will begin by cleaning the skin where treatment will occur. Topical anesthesia will help numb the area and make the injections comfortable. However, if your doctor does not numb the site, it is still okay because dermal fillers contain mild anesthetics like lidocaine to help with the pain of injections before and after treatment.
Next, your doctor will precisely inject a specific amount of fillers beneath your skin on the treatment area. After the injections, you should be able to notice the results. However, you might experience slight bruising and swelling that will go away after a few days. Your doctor will advise that you avoid strenuous activity and exercise for a few days following treatment.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The results of your dermal fillers will depend on the type of products and area of treatment. If our doctor uses a denser product, the delivery will be deeper beneath the skin, and thus results may last longer. For optimal results, you must get repeated injections that will maintain your overall appearance. There are three types of dermal fillers to consider:
- Hyaluronic acid fillers are a temporary option lasting six to 18 months and perfect for novice filler patients.
- Synthetic fillers may last longer, with results lasting for several years.
- Fat injections are indefinite. However, the injected fat will not survive forever but long enough to give a fuller look.
Find a trusted cosmetic surgeon to consult with about your dermal fillers treatment and learn more about the best plan that will give you optimal long-lasting results.
