To find the right dermal filler for your skin, call Elevate Medical Aesthetics and Wellness today.
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that Marti injects into your skin to fill in facial lines and creases. These materials mimic substances found in your own body, such as hyaluronic acid (HA), to plump and firm your skin.
Fillers like Juvéderm® and Restylane® are safe, effective, and temporary solutions for many common signs of aging.
While neuromodulators like Botox® minimize the appearance of dynamic wrinkles — those formed by repeated muscle movements — dermal fillers primarily target static wrinkles. Static wrinkles develop from volume loss.
These types of wrinkles typically form in areas that carry more tissue, such as the cheeks and jowls. You may want to consider dermal fillers if you have:
Fillers aren’t just for aging adults. Marti can also use these gel-like substances to contour the midface and lower face for enhanced facial definition.
When you arrive for your injection appointment, any necessary paperwork and pictures will be obtained prior to your treatment.
Marti begins to inject the medication into the predetermined areas that you discussed during your initial consultation. She may massage or manipulate the treatment for contouring purposes to make sure it settles into your skin as expected.
The entire process takes just 30-60 minutes, and your results are instant and will continue to improve over the next 30 days. You should notice the difference right away.
Dermal fillers are safe and have very few side effects. Most patients experience mild swelling, redness, pain, and bruising at the injection site, but these side effects should subside within 3-7 days. Some patients may experience residual swelling for up to 30 days.
You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment, so there is no downtime with dermal fillers.
Every filler is different, but most last for approximately 12 months before they gradually wear off. Once you notice your filler beginning to lose its effect, you can return to Elevate Medical Aesthetics and Wellness for maintenance treatments.
