FILLER

 Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, and are injected into soft tissue to reduce visible signs of aging and restore facial volume. The use of fillers can contour and balance facial features, smooth out lines, hydrate the lips and lift wrinkles & folds and restore volume loss. Filler is a quick in-office procedure, providing instantaneous results and requiring virtually no downtime.

First, you’ll consult with one of our licensed aesthetic providers to discuss your concerns and treatment goals.

The treatment itself is quick (30-60 minutes tops!) and can be uncomfortable, but very tolerable. Topical numbing cream is provided depending on the area being injected.

Swelling, bruising, and temporary redness can occur after filler treatments. Typical healing time is 2 weeks (with the worst of the swelling being at day 2-3!) and it takes up to 4 weeks to fully integrate into the tissue.

Patients can get back to their everyday activities right away! Results are immediate, and can last between 6-18 months. You’ll still look like YOU, just an enhanced version.

Fillers can be used to address various concerns and enhance many areas of the face:

• Lips
• Cheeks
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Marionette lines (lines that extend downward from the corners of the mouth)
• Chin,
• Jawline
• Temple areas.

They can also be used to restore volume and contour to the midface, under eyes, neck, and hands.

The results of filler treatments can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, or more, depending on the area treated and the specific product used.

Following up at two weeks after a Botox treatment is important for several reasons:

1. Assessment of Results: The full effects of Botox may take some time to become apparent. By the two-week mark, both you and your healthcare provider can assess the results of the treatment. This allows for a comprehensive evaluation of how well the Botox has worked in reducing wrinkles and achieving the desired cosmetic outcomes.

2. Adjustments if Necessary: In some cases, individuals may require adjustments or additional injections to achieve optimal results. The two-week follow-up appointment allows the healthcare provider to address any specific areas that may need further attention or refinement.

3. Patient Satisfaction: Following up at two weeks gives patients the opportunity to discuss their satisfaction with the results and address any concerns or questions they may have. It allows for open communication between the patient and the healthcare provider to ensure that expectations are met.

In summary, the two-week follow-up for Botox is a crucial step in the overall treatment process. It allows for a thorough assessment of results, ensures patient satisfaction, provides an opportunity for adjustments if needed, and contributes to a long-term plan for maintaining the desired cosmetic effects.

Downtime associated with filler treatment is minimal, with many patients returning to their normal activities immediately after their appointment. Some patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. Our practitioners will provide you with helpful tips to alleviate any side effects you may experience.

Post-care after dermal filler treatment is crucial to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects. While specific instructions may vary based on the type of filler used and individual circumstances, here are some general guidelines for post-dermal filler care:

1. Avoid Touching or Rubbing: Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area for several hours after the procedure to minimize the risk of infection or displacement of the filler.

2. Cold Compress: Applying a cold compress or ice pack to the treated area can help reduce swelling and alleviate any discomfort. Be sure to use a clean cloth or wrap the ice pack to avoid direct contact with the skin.

3. Stay Upright: It's advisable to keep the head elevated for the first night following the procedure. This can help reduce swelling and promote proper settling of the filler.

4. Limit Physical Activity: Avoid strenuous exercise and activities that may increase blood flow to the face for at least 24 to 48 hours after the treatment. This helps prevent excessive swelling and bruising.

5. Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the treated area from direct sunlight and tanning beds. Use sunscreen with high SPF to prevent sun damage and maintain the longevity of the filler.

6. Gentle Cleansing: Follow a gentle cleansing routine for your face. Avoid harsh scrubs or treatments that could irritate the skin in the treated area.

7. No Makeup Application: Refrain from applying makeup to the treated area for the first 24 hours to minimize the risk of infection. Your healthcare provider will advise when it's safe to resume your regular makeup routine.

8. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and promote overall healing.

9. Follow-up Appointments: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider to assess the results and address any concerns.

It's crucial to follow the specific post-care instructions provided by your healthcare provider. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, such as persistent swelling, redness, or pain, contact your healthcare professional promptly.
