Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, fill in wrinkles and lines, and enhance facial features.
Dermal fillers work by adding volume to the skin, which smooths out wrinkles and folds. They can also be used to enhance facial features, such as lips and cheeks.
There are several types of dermal fillers, and they are made of different materials such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid.
Fillers are generally safe when performed by a trained and experienced medical professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there are risks involved, such as infection, allergic reaction, and injection-related complications.
The duration of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used and where it is injected. Most fillers last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years before needing a touch-up.
The recovery time after getting fillers is minimal. You can usually resume normal activities immediately after the procedure, although some swelling and bruising may occur.
Common side effects of fillers include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection site. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days.
People who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid getting fillers. Additionally, those with a history of severe allergies or autoimmune disorders may not be good candidates for the procedure.
The cost of fillers varies depending on the type of filler used and the amount of filler needed. It is best to consult with a dermatologist for a personalized cost estimate.
