Understanding Dermal Filler Treatments: The Basics

Understanding dermal filler treatments can be a confusing process for many people. At Freezefillglow Medical Aesthetics, we’re here to help you look your best and make the experience one that is both safe and enjoyable. 

Dermal fillers are typically used to replace lost volume in the face due to aging, sun damage, or other factors. Common areas that are treated with dermal fillers include cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds (lines around nose and mouth), corners of the mouth, marionette lines (lines extending down from the corners of the mouth), and chin. Dermal fillers often last anywhere from six months to two years depending on which product is used as well as how quickly your body metabolizes it.

When considering a facial filler treatment like Juvéderm®, it's important to consider what kind of results you would like to achieve. In general, this type of filler provides natural-looking results that fill in wrinkles and fine lines around the face or lips. It also adds volume and shape to sunken or hollow areas around your eyes and cheeks. Your medical aesthetician will discuss all available options for enhancing your appearance during your appointment.

The procedure itself is relatively simple, though it can vary from patient to patient depending on what they're having done. Generally speaking, a numbing cream is applied 30 minutes before treatment begins to minimize pain/discomfort during injection placement. Then a small needle is inserted underneath the skin where either filler or Botox® injections are administered after which a band-aid is applied over the area where the product was placed. Results are typically seen right away but may take some time before they become fully visible; usually within 48 hours after treatment has been completed at Freezefillglow Medical Aesthetics. 

It's important to note that while facial fillers are generally considered very safe procedures with minimal side effects—some bruising or swelling may occur following treatment—it’s always best practice to consult with an experienced professional prior to any cosmetic procedure so you can discuss all potential risks as well as expectations for desired results!
