Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers can be a great option if you’re looking to refresh your appearance without surgery. They are a non-invasive way to plump up and fill in lines and wrinkles, enhance lips and cheeks, and restore volume to areas of the face that have lost fullness due to aging. Fillers can also be used to improve the appearance of acne scars and other facial imperfections. They are a safe and popular treatment that has been used for many years to help patients achieve a more youthful, refreshed look.

Is there any downtime or recovery period after getting fillers?

Most patients experience little to no downtime after filler injections and can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. However, you may experience some minor swelling or bruising around the injection site for a few days following the procedure.

What are the aftercare instructions?

We recommend avoiding the following for 24 to 48 hours after your dermal filler treatment:

  • Touching or rubbing the treated area
  • Strenuous exercise
  • Exposure to excessive heat or cold, such as saunas or ice packs
  • Alcohol and blood-thinning medications, as they can increase the risk of bruising and swelling
  • Makeup or any other products on the treated area for at least 24 hours.
