Frequently Asked Questions
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that hydrates and plumps the skin.
What areas can be treated with fillers?
Fillers can be used to:
Plump and define lips
Soften smile lines (nasolabial folds)
Lift and contour cheeks
Define the jawline and chin
Smooth under-eye hollows
Rejuvenate aging hands
How long do fillers last?
The longevity of fillers depends on the type and treatment area, but most last between 6 to 18 months before naturally breaking down.
How soon will I see results?
Results are immediate, though some swelling and minor bruising may occur. Final results are visible once swelling subsides within 1 to 2 weeks.
Do fillers hurt?
Most fillers contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to minimize discomfort. A topical numbing cream can also be applied before treatment for added comfort.
Is there downtime after filler injections?
Minimal downtime is required. You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness for a few days, but most patients return to daily activities immediately.
Are fillers safe?
Yes, when administered by a qualified provider. Side effects are usually mild but may include swelling, bruising, or lumpiness. Rare complications include vascular occlusion, which can be avoided with proper technique.
Can fillers be dissolved if I don’t like the results?
Yes! Hyaluronic acid fillers can be reversed with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that dissolves the filler quickly and safely.
How often should I get fillers?
Maintenance depends on the type of filler and individual metabolism. Most patients touch up every 6 to 12 months to maintain results.
Can fillers be combined with Botox?
Absolutely! Botox and fillers work well together—Botox smooths dynamic wrinkles, while fillers restore volume and contour, creating a balanced and youthful appearance.
