FAQs

Overview

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible substances. They are used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours by filling in areas of lost volume or plumping up specific areas.
There are various types of dermal fillers available, including hyaluronic acid fillers, calcium hydroxylapatite fillers, poly-L-lactic acid fillers, and autologous fat injections. Each type has unique properties and is suitable for different purposes.

Duration of Results

The duration of dermal filler results can vary depending on the type of filler used, the treated area, and individual factors. Generally, results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.

Safety

When administered by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional, dermal fillers are generally safe and well-tolerated. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of.

Results

Results from dermal filler injections are usually immediate, with noticeable improvements in volume and contouring visible right after treatment. However, final results may take a few days to settle.

Uses

Yes, dermal fillers can be used to reshape and contour the nose non-surgically by adding volume to specific areas, such as filling in nasal humps, correcting asymmetry, and lifting the nasal tip.
Yes, dermal fillers can be injected into thinning earlobes to add volume and firmness, reducing the appearance of sagging or wrinkled earlobes and improving the overall aesthetics of the ears.

Procedure and Aftercare

During the procedure, your provider will inject the filler into the targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. After treatment, you may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days.
Before your dermal filler treatment, your provider may recommend avoiding certain medications and supplements that can increase the risk of bruising, such as aspirin and blood thinners. It's also important to discuss any medical conditions or allergies with your provider beforehand.

Lip Augmentation

The number of syringes needed for lip augmentation depends on factors such as the desired volume increase, the current condition of your lips, and your provider's recommendation. Typically, one to two syringes are used for lip enhancement.
While rare, potential risks of lip filler injections include asymmetry, lumps or nodules, allergic reactions, infection, and vascular occlusion. It's important to choose a qualified and experienced provider to minimize these risks.
Swelling after lip filler injections typically resolves within a few days to a week, although individual experiences may vary. Applying ice packs and avoiding strenuous activity can help reduce swelling and promote faster healing.

Dissolving Fillers

Yes, hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme breaks down the filler and allows it to be safely absorbed by the body, reversing the effects of the treatment.

Comparison with Botox

While Botox relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles caused by facial expressions, dermal fillers add volume to plump up and fill in wrinkles and lines. The choice between the two treatments depends on the type of wrinkles and the desired results.

Hand Rejuvenation

While individual experiences may vary, most people start to see noticeable improvements in the appearance of their hands immediately after filler injections, with full results becoming apparent within a few weeks as any initial swelling subsides.
After hand rejuvenation with dermal fillers, it's important to avoid applying pressure or massaging the treated area for the first 24 to 48 hours to allow the filler to settle properly. Additionally, wearing sunscreen and moisturizing regularly can help maintain results and protect the skin from sun damage.

Common side effects of dermal fillers include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites. More serious complications, such as infection or allergic reactions, are rare but possible.
