Dermal Filler

The results of dermal fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual factors like metabolism and skin type. Hyaluronic acid fillers generally last 9 to 12 months, while other fillers can last even longer. 

Yes, when administered by qualified and experienced professional, dermal fillers are considered safe. Common side effects include minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. Always choose a licensed practitioner for safe and effective treatment. 

  Dermal fillers can treat several areas of the face, including: 

• Lips for added volume and definition.
• Cheeks for contouring and lifting.
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines) for smoothing deep wrinkles.

Results from dermal fillers are usually visible immediately after treatment. However, it can take up to two weeks for the full effects to settle as any initial swelling subsides. This makes dermal fillers a popular choice for those seeking quick, noticeable results. 

The cost of dermal fillers varies based on the type of filler used, the area treated, and the amount required. Prices typically range from $500 to $1,500 per syringe. During your consultation, your provider will give you a personalized treatment plan and cost estimate. 

To prepare for your dermal filler treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and supplements like fish oil or vitamin E for at least a week prior to your appointment. This helps reduce the risk of bruising. Your provider will also give you specific instructions tailored to your needs.
