FAQs
1. What are hyaluronic acid fillers?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are injectable treatments that use a naturally occurring substance in the body to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They provide immediate, natural-looking results and are a popular choice for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
2. How do hyaluronic acid fillers work?
These fillers work by attracting and retaining water in the skin, which helps to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial features. The hyaluronic acid in the fillers integrates with the skin's tissue, providing a plumping and hydrating effect.
3. What areas can be treated with hyaluronic acid fillers?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be used to treat various areas of the face, including the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, peri-oral (smoker’s) lines, under-eye hollows, and jawline.
4. How long do hyaluronic acid fillers last?
The longevity of the results varies depending on the specific filler used and the treated area. On average, hyaluronic acid fillers last between 6 to 18 months. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain the desired results.
5. Is the procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Hyaluronic acid fillers often contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to help minimize pain. Additionally, we can apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to enhance your comfort.
6. What can I expect during the treatment?
The treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and create a personalized plan. The actual injection process takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas treated. You may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days.
7. Are there any side effects?
Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. Rarely, more serious complications can occur, so it's important to choose an experienced provider and follow post-treatment care instructions.
8. Who is a good candidate for hyaluronic acid fillers?
Good candidates are individuals looking to enhance their facial features, restore lost volume, or reduce the appearance of wrinkles without surgery. During your consultation, we will assess your medical history and aesthetic goals to determine if fillers are right for you.
9. How do I prepare for the treatment?
To prepare for your filler treatment, avoid alcohol, aspirin, and other blood-thinning medications for a few days prior to your appointment. These substances can increase the risk of bruising. Follow any additional pre-treatment instructions provided by our team.
