What they are
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin known for its hydrating properties. These fillers can help to restore lost volume, enhance soft tissues, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the lips, cheeks, chin, and other facial areas.
How it works
During your consultation, our experienced practitioners will assess your skin, facial structure, and aesthetic goals to help determine which dermal filler may be best suited for your needs. The selected filler is injected into the targeted areas, aiming to add volume and smooth lines and wrinkles. While individual results vary, many patients achieve a more refreshed appearance with minimal downtime.
What to expect
The duration of the dermal filler procedure typically ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the areas being treated. Some mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site is common but generally resolves within a few days. Results are often visible immediately, with improvements continuing over the next 2–3 weeks as the filler integrates with your skin. Depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, results can last between 6 to 24 months. For the best experience, follow all aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.

Frequently asked questions about Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers typically contain lidocaine, an anesthetic that may help minimize discomfort during the procedure. Some patients may experience a mild pinching sensation during the injections. To further reduce any potential discomfort, a topical numbing agent can also be applied before the procedure. Individual experiences with pain or discomfort can vary.
Dermal fillers usually require minimal downtime, but this can vary from person to person. Common side effects include redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, or itching around the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days. To allow time for healing, it's advisable to avoid scheduling important events for a few days post-treatment.
Results from dermal filler treatments are generally visible immediately and may continue to improve over 2–3 weeks as the filler integrates with your skin. Depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, results can last from 6 to 24 months. Individual results will vary, and follow-up treatments may be needed to maintain desired outcomes.
Common side effects of dermal fillers include redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. These symptoms are usually mild and tend to subside within a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects like infection, filler migration, or vascular complications may occur. It is important to consult with your practitioner for a thorough understanding of all potential risks and to determine if dermal fillers are suitable for you.
Before your appointment:
• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin to facilitate a proper assessment.
• Avoid NSAIDs (e.g., Ibuprofen, Advil), fish oil, Ginkgo Biloba, St. John's Wort, and high doses of Vitamin E for one week before treatment, as these can increase the risk of bruising.
• Avoid Retin-A, Tretinoin, and other retinoids for three days prior to the procedure.
• Refrain from drinking alcohol for 24 hours before the injection to minimize the risk of bruising.
• If you are prone to bruising, consider taking Arnica tablets one day before treatment, but consult your healthcare provider before starting any supplements.
• Avoid dental appointments two weeks before and after treatment to reduce the risk of complications.
• Clients who are pregnant or nursing are not eligible for dermal filler treatments.
• Avoid applying makeup immediately after treatment to reduce the risk of infection.
• Avoid lying down for at least four hours post-procedure to help prevent filler migration.
• Sleep on your back for 24–48 hours following the procedure to maintain filler placement.
• Avoid touching your face for 24 hours unless applying topicals as advised by your practitioner.
• Refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours; light walking is generally acceptable.
• Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold for 24 hours, as this may affect the filler.
• No facials or massages on treated areas for two weeks post-treatment to avoid disturbing the filler.
• For lip injections only: avoid using straws, smoking, heavy kissing, or oral activities for two weeks to ensure optimal results.
