Let’s make it a little easier for you. We’ve compiled a list of questions that might also be lingering in your mind, and we answer them based on our extensive experience to give you peace of mind and avoid any dermal filler mistakes.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
The first and most important question most people need to be answered is what exactly you will be putting inside your body. There’s a variety of different dermal fillers, but they are all naturally occurring toxins which means it is safe to inject into your skin.
Fillers are made up of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which also naturally occurs in your body where it lubricates joints and tissue. HA injections add more of this natural substance into the preferred places providing the plumping effect. You will enjoy the natural look and moisturized feel of a smoother, rosier look.
Is it Safe?
As much as you have read up on dermal fillers for acne scars or facial areas and found helpful information, you may also have come across pictures of blotched jobs or bad outcomes. Be assured that if you come to a professional center, you are in the hands of qualified, trained technicians who know the structure of the facial anatomy and where to inject your fillers for the best results. The fillers are FDA end EU approved and safe to inject into your skin. Remember, we can also provide you with guidance regarding whether Botox or dermal fillers are the best option for you.
What Different Types of Fillers are There?
The main fillers you can ask for are collagen-based or hyaluronic. The hyaluronic acid fillers of Belotero, Radiesse, or Restylane are perfect for mild scars or hollow areas you want to appear plumper and fuller. At the same time, you can also choose from poly-L-lactic acid, polymethylmethacrylate beads and calcium hydroxylapatite. We will advise you on which filler will be best for your needs.
We often use collagen-based dermal fillers for deeper-seated scars caused by acne or cuts as they refine the appearance by lifting the indented, depressed areas on your face.
What Are the Most Popular Dermal Filler Areas?
Dermal filler procedures are mainly used on the face and sometimes the hands to reduce scars, but it is approved to be used on the face, especially in the following areas:
- The Lips
We can use fillers to give you a more balanced upper to lower lip ratio plumping your lips, so they are a more outstanding feature, but we always advise you to go with less than have huge lips you thought might look different in the end.
- The Cheeks
Our bodies produce less collagen as we age, and areas such as your cheeks, chin, forehead, and eyes may begin to show the signs of aging. A professional filler can restore your plump cheeks to a healthy glow again.
- The Eyes
While Botox can be most beneficial for wrinkles and crow’s feet, our fillers work great when injected into the tear ducts and then massaged to spread to your under-eye area. This will improve the look of sunken eyes or dark circles to give you a fuller, healthier look.
- The Chin
One’s jawline can sometimes be too masculine or uneven to your liking. For men and women, we use fillers for a more even, smooth appearance to create a more square, prominent jawline.
- The Nose
The hyaluronic acid filler is perfect for reducing the appearance of bumps or unevenness on the nose, giving you a balanced side profile in pictures.
How Long Do the Fillers Last?
The time spent at our medical center is a maximum of 30 minutes, depending on how many fillers you want. The fillers last for about 18 months but vary according to each person’s metabolism as the body eventually breaks down the fillers. We advise you to come for a booster filler once or twice a year to maintain your youthful appearance.
We have done many filler procedures with delighted clients, and we want you to be one of them. We are often asked if the process hurts. The fillers will be injected into your skin, so you can expect minor pain at the injection site. A numbing cream can be used to make it easier, and the filler contains lidocaine, a mild anesthetic. You can put an ice pack on afterwards for the swelling, but you shouldn’t experience too much pain, discomfort, or downtime because of the procedure. Ultimately, professionals at our center will do a stellar job, and your discomfort will be minimal. Schedule your appointment with The Laser Cafe today!
