Types of dermal filler:
Some fillers are hyaluronic acid base while others are calcium based. The type of dermal filler used depends on the area it is placed and the desired outcomes. Some products are placed superficially, others deep, while some fillers are used to stimulate collagen and elastin. The expert providers at Reflection Aesthetics Co will help guide you as to the right filler for you.
Are fillers safe?
Fillers are considered to be a relatively non-invasive and safe procedure. It is important to seek expert providers such as those at Reflection Aesthetics Co for optimal results. The most common side effects include slight tenderness, swelling or bruising at the injection site. While additional side effects are possible, they are uncommon. It is essential for patients to disclose any medical conditions or medications they are taking before undergoing treatment with dermal filler.
What to expect:
The appointment will typically last 45-60 min minutes. This time will be spent getting to know each client’s individualized goals, discussing expectations, educating, and performing the procdure. The patient will be topically numbed and the skin will be thoroughly cleansed prior to the injection. The goal is for minimal pain or discomfort with the injection. The results seen with dermal filler are immediate. However, it can take 10-14 days for the product to “settle”. The effects will last anywhere from 6-18 months depending on the type of filler used and the area treated.
