Dermal fillers are gel-based treatments that are injected using a needle or cannula. They are designed to achieve specific aesthetic enhancements across the face and body. The results from dermal fillers are temporary, typically lasting between 6 to 12 months. Over time, the body naturally metabolizes and eliminates the filler, so follow-up or maintenance injections are needed to maintain long-lasting results.

Before your injections, a topical anesthetic may be applied to numb the area and ensure your comfort. Once the area is numb, your injector will carefully administer the filler under the skin with a needle. Some patients may feel a slight pinching sensation during the injection, but pain is generally minimal and short-lived. After treatment, you may experience mild swelling or bruising, which can be easily managed with a cool compress.

You’ll see the effects right after your filler injections! Initially, you may experience swelling that makes the area appear larger than expected. Don’t worry—this swelling typically goes down within a week, unveiling your final dermal filler results!
