About Dermal Fillers

What are Dermal Fillers and Biostimulators

Dermal fillers are non-surgical injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid – the featured ingredient in many moisturizers, and a naturally occurring compound found in skin. Dermal fillers work to restore and plump up soft tissue volume, smooth the appearance of lines and wrinkles, give lips and cheeks a naturally fuller look, and most importantly help to achieve facial balancing goals. We use the Juvederm, Versa, RHA and Restylane Collections of fillers in our office.

Sculptra and other biostimulators are injectable treatments that stimulate the body’s natural collagen production to restore facial volume and improve skin texture over time.

How Dermal Filler and Biostimulators Work

During your complimentary consultation our nurse injector will evaluate your skin condition, facial structure and your concerns to select the best product for your needs.

Filler can be injected into your desired treatment area and will add structure and volume to bring sunken skin back to the surface, almost like a non-surgical face lift. Results are natural-looking and treatment is safe with little downtime.

Biostimulators can be injected on their own or in conjunction with fillers. They work by stimulating new tissue growth, helping the skin to naturally produce its own volume.

What to Expect

Depending on your selected treatment area, either procedure can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour. Mild swelling, bruising and soreness may occur. You will see your results immediately, and can expect them to last 6-24 months (depending on the product used and area or areas treated).

What do I need to do before my appointment?

-Please arrive with clean skin so that we can properly assess your skin and determine where to make injections

-Avoid NSAIDS (ie: ibuprofen), and/or Aleve for 1 week prior

-Avoid taking St. John’s Wort and Vitamin E for 1 week prior

-Avoid Retin-A, Tretinoin and Retinoids for 3 days prior

-Start Arnica tablets the day before treatment

-No dental appointments 2 weeks prior or 2 weeks following the injectable appointment

Does it hurt?

Most dermal fillers contain lidocaine, a common anesthetic, which helps patients tolerate the minor pinching feeling associated with injections. We can also apply a topical numbing agent or inject lidocaine prior to injection in cases where it is not already mixed into the injectable product being used.

What’s the downtime?

One of the things that makes dermal fillers and biostimulators so great is there’s little downtime. Immediately after the treatment, there may be redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness and / or itching at or near the injection site. These symptoms are normal and should resolve within a few days. But for this reason we do not recommend scheduling your appointment right before a big event.

How long do results last?

Results can be seen immediately after treatment and will get better over the course of 2-3 weeks as the product integrates with your own tissue. Results can last anywhere from 6-24 months depending on the product used and the injection area.

How do I know which product to use?
