/ Aesthetics Beauty Lounge, Dermal Fillers / By Aesthetic Beauty Lounge

Fed up with seeing fine lines and wrinkles on your face that are showing no signs of fading even with the usage of the best skincare products? Then you must try dermal fillers which have shown positive effects for rejuvenating the skin with plump and youthful skin. If you have doubts about the efficiency and safety of dermal fillers and their suitability for your specific issue, you are at the right place. Below are some key things to know before you try dermal fillers. 

What are Dermal fillers? 

Dermal fillers are made up of an FDA-approved material that promotes the development of collagen, and fading of fine lines, wrinkles, and other facial regions that have lost volume. They have been proven successful in rejuvenating the skin by adding lost volume in the target regions. Collagen is the basic building block of the skin that is responsible for giving an even, full and youthful appearance. Collagen levels are reduced as the body ages causing skin issues like wrinkles, fine lines, etc. It is also enhanced by lifestyle mistakes like smoking, exposure to sun rays, and environmental toxins. These beneficial dermal fillers are of diverse types and are used specifically depending on the target region and skin issues. 

Will the treatment hurt? 

If you’re highly worried about the tiny needles being injected into the skin, the majority of individuals will have negligible or no discomfort during the treatment. It is the presence of a numbing agent called lidocaine in the majority of dermal fillers. This is the identical substance used by dentists before they work on the mouth. If any dermal filler doesn’t have this dermal filler, a skin specialist will add it before injections. Dermal fillers may take a maximum of an hour to complete depending on the total area of treatment. There will be no requirement for any downtime as there will be no surgical incisions in this treatment. Almost all the clients will go back to their routine activities immediately after completion. 

About side effects: 

There are some brief side effects after the dermal fillers such as redness, swelling, and sensitivity in the target region. While it is normal to have such minor side effects after the treatment which will go off within a few hours of 1-2 days maximum, if any rare aggravated effects occur, it is advised to contact the expert immediately. The majority of patients have not reported any major side effects when performed under expert supervision. 

Are the results permanent? 

Dermal fillers such as Hyaluronic acid fillers will require a few days to be settled beneath the skin, but there will be immediate results after the procedure. So, even though dermal fillers don’t provide permanent outcomes for both fine lines and wrinkles, the outcomes remain for longer times if done by expert professionals. This is unique from some other neurotoxins that last for half the time, but the overall results of any aesthetic procedure depend on the type of issues and experience of the injector. There will be a definite requirement of follow-up sessions as per scheduled intervals from your expert to maintain the results. The results will be effective and constant if the follow-up sessions in scheduled before the effects of the previous procedure have not faded off. Dermal fillers are widely employed across the globe as they offer the longest results related to other cosmetic treatments. 

Which are the types of generally used fillers? 

The highly utilized dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which is the synthetic form of naturally occurring substance found in the body. Hyaluronic facial fillers hold the water in the target region and aid in retaining the plump shape and add volume to the fine lines, wrinkles, and depressions. Be sure to check if you are associating with a qualified injector who knows the ins and outs of the procedure and also has complete knowledge of the type of filler used. Improper usage of the fillers can lead to some rare adverse effects like toxicity. 

Be well prepared before and after the procedure: 

  • Having a thorough consultation before deciding on the procedure is a fundamental part of the process. The skin doctor will have a thorough examination of your facial features and expressions. It is the key part of the process as failing to execute properly will make your appearance artificial. You must explain all your medical history, a list of active medications, and any recent surgeries on or nearby the facial region. Allergy to any medications can decrease the effects of fillers or also cause adverse reactions. 
  • Some medications must be strictly avoided at least a week before the procedure. It includes anticoagulants such as aspirin and ibuprofen and blood thinners. These types of medicines block the ability of blood clotting and increase the risks of bruising and excessive bleeding. The list also includes avoiding multivitamins, fish oil, green tea, ginger, cinnamon, and alcohol. These instructions will be provided by the expert doctor in the initial consultations. 
  • There are some crucial things to be taken care of even after the treatment. Avoid wearing make-up, performing strenuous and sweat-inducing activities, and touching or massaging the treatment region as such activities enhance the risk of spreading the injections to other neighboring regions. There are suggestions on avoiding a flight after the injections for a few days as the variation in pressure can spread the substance to other unwanted regions. Make sure that you follow all the expert advice for the treatment success but also to avoid chances of adverse effects. 

Reversing the results: 

Dermal fillers offer a natural result especially for treating fine lines and wrinkle issues. But if you are not satisfied with the results, the skin expert can inject a precise enzyme that can immediately dissolve the filler and give the original look.
