What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers restore your skin’s shape and volume. The most commonly used dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid (HA). This is a substance that naturally occurs in your body and helps your skin stay hydrated and plump. Your provider at Creekside Wellness injects this substance through gel form into your skin. 

Popular brands of dermal fillers include Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Perlane®. 

What do dermal fillers treat?

Dermal fillers provide several benefits for adults of all ages, including:

• Volumizing your lips 
• Reducing eye, nose, mouth, and forehead wrinkles 
• Reducing scar appearance
• Contouring your face, chin, and jawline 
• Elevating brow lines 
• Lifting drooping jowls  
• Providing volume to your eyes, cheeks, temples, and under eyes

Dermal fillers produce results immediately and last approximately 6-18 months before the particles dissolve into your body. 

Your provider wants your desired aesthetic to be consistent, so they work with you to develop a dermal filler treatment plan. 

What happens during a dermal filler procedure? 

Your provider performs the procedure at the Creekside Wellness offices. They begin by applying a local numbing cream to the sites of injection. Lidocaine is in many HA fillers, which helps minimize discomfort during and after your treatment.

Your provider follows a predetermined, customized facial map to inject the fillers through a fine needle into specific sites on your skin. You may feel a slight pinching, but it should be painless. 

Your provider may apply an ice pack to your face throughout the procedure to avoid swelling and bruising.

You can expect the procedure to take 15 minutes to two hours, and your provider monitors your progress throughout.

What happens after a dermal filler procedure? 

After your procedure, you can return immediately to your daily routine. It’s normal to experience temporary, minor side effects like swelling, inflammation, bruising, or hardness at the injection point. 

Your Creekside Wellness provider may encourage healing tips like:

• Using an ice pack 
• Refraining from wearing makeup for 24 hours
• Avoiding rigorous exercise or activity for 24 hours 
• Avoiding puckering, kissing, or sipping from a straw (for lip fillers)
• Hydrating and resting 

It may be useful to schedule a follow-up appointment two weeks after your procedure. This way, your provider can monitor your progress and plan the next procedure.
