What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are made of a smooth-consistency gel that is injected into the skin to restore volume and smooth away moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds. At Birem, MD Beauty & Wellness, we use dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a sugar that occurs naturally in the body. HA’s role is to deliver nutrients and hydration and act as a cushioning agent. Young, healthy skin contains a lot of HA, but factors that include aging and sun exposure reduce the amount, causing skin to lose structure and volume.
What types of dermal fillers?
At Birem, MD Beauty & Wellness, we use FDA-approved HA fillers such as Juvederm®, Restylane® or Revanesse® Versa.
The most common areas for dermal filler treatment are the glabellar lines (which run between the eyebrows), the nasolabial folds (which run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth) and the lip area.
What to expect:
Dermal filler injections can take about 20-60 minutes to administer depending on your treatment needs. A fine needle is inserted under the skin in the targeted area to add volume or fill in wrinkles and folds. A topical anesthetic may be used on the area to be treated before giving the injection.
The results of dermal fillers are visible immediately after injection; any swelling and bruising should subside during the next few days. Results can last 6 to 9 months, and in some cases, up to a year.
What should you do post-treatment?
Once treatment is completed, you can return to your regular activities. However, for the first 24 hours after treatment, you should avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcohol consumption. Applying ice or using Arnica can help reduce swelling and bruising.
What are the risks?
Although HA fillers are considered safe, there is a risk of side effects. They are usually limited to the injection site, and include the following: redness, pain or tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps or bumps, bruising, itching, discoloration or infection.
