What Are Dermal Fillers?
At SkinPlus MedSpa, we understand the importance of youthful skin and a radiant appearance. That's why we offer dermal filler procedures as an effective solution for our patients.
But what are dermal fillers exactly?
Dermal fillers are a type of injectable that can reduce wrinkles and restore volume to the face, resulting in a more youthful appearance. They work by using hyaluronic acid to plump and fill in areas that have lost volume over time.
Our dermal filler treatments can help you achieve a natural-looking improvement in your facial features and restore your youthful glow. You can also combine them with our MINT PDO Threads for a complete non surgical face rejuvenation.
Understanding Dermal Filler Injections
Dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that helps to restore volume, rejuvenate the skin, and stimulate collagen production.
Whether you are looking to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, restore volume to your cheeks, or enhance your lips, our dermal fillers offer a safe and effective solution and can be combined with our other procedures for a treat to full correction experience. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to providing the highest quality care and helping you achieve your desired results.
Different Types of Dermal Fillers
Injectable Fillers
Injectable dermal fillers are made up of a gel-like substance that is injected into the skin. They are primarily used to smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, and folds that appear on your face over time. Hyaluronic acid is a common ingredient in injectable fillers, which helps to hydrate and plump the skin. These results can last for over 2 years, making it a popular choice for those seeking a temporary solution. Our team of experts will guide you through the process, ensuring that you have all the information you need to make an informed decision about the right type of treatment for you.
The Process and Results
At SkinPlus MedSpa, we prioritize our patients' safety and satisfaction. For this reason, we take the time to thoroughly explain the dermal filler treatment process to ensure our patients feel at ease throughout their experience.
The treatment typically involves several steps:
Consultation: First, we meet with you to discuss your goals and assess your skin's condition. We will review your medical history to ensure there are no contraindications, and explain the benefits and potential risks of the treatment.
Preparation: Before the treatment, we apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the procedure. We also clean the treatment area to prevent infection.
Injection: Using a fine needle, we carefully inject dermal fillers into the predetermined areas. The injections are strategically placed to achieve the desired results, such as reducing wrinkles or restoring volume.
Assessment: Once the injections are complete, we evaluate the results to ensure we have achieved the desired look. In some cases, we may administer additional injections perfecting the outcome.
The process typically takes less than an hour, and patients can immediately return to their daily activities. However, it's essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our team to minimize the risk of complications.
Regarding results, patients can expect to see an immediate improvement in their skin's appearance. The dermal fillers stimulate collagen production, contributing to a more youthful and plump complexion. Results can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used, the area being treated and the individual's unique physiology and lifestyle.
It's important to note that some patients may experience mild side effects, such as redness, swelling, or bruising, but these typically resolve within a few days. Our team will closely monitor your progress and provide guidance on how to manage any discomfort or unusual symptoms.
