In a filler injection procedure, soft-tissue fillers are injected onto the face to smoothen and fill over grooves and wrinkles caused by aging—making the skin look younger and more supple. They can also be used to change a specific feature such as to plump up the lips and targeted areas on the hands.
Dermal Fillers are done to achieve the following:
Average Cost
$600
Price Range
$300 to $900
The procedure for getting filler injections is relatively quick and easy, lasting typically less than an hour (between 5 to 45 minutes). It doesn’t require anesthesia as the filler itself has local anesthetic, making the procedure non-invasive. The downtime is little to non-existent too and you can go about your usual day right after.
You would need to repeat the procedure every now and again to maintain your desired look over a lengthy period of time. The entire process itself will vary from person to person depending on their individual concerns, as well as the type of filler used.
Here are some things you can do to prepare for the treatment:

There will be a consultation after the treatment to discuss how it went and how to optimize the benefits while managing and reducing the side effects (if any).
Expect for the skin to have slight redness and inflammation after, so for the next two weeks, please avoid extreme temperatures. Since the skin is inflamed, this also means that you won’t see the final results right away.
As for skin care, please avoid chemicals exfoliants such as AHA and BHA, as well as Retinol for 2 to 3 days. You can still, however, continue to use moisturizers.
Lastly, it’s always a good idea to eat a nutritious diet after and make sure you’re drinking a lot of water and keeping yourself hydrated.

How long will the effects last?
The effects of the treatment can last from 6 months to up to a year. The longevity will depend on the patient’s lifestyle like diet and exercise, their age, as well as how they take care of their skin.
Is this a safe procedure?
Yes, the procedure is safe. The fillers are typically made from non-animal source ingredients, so there’s little to no risk of having any animal-based allergic reaction. However, do check with your doctor during the consultation as the specific type of fillers used could vary from clinic to clinic.
What areas can dermal fillers be used for?
Common signs of aging are wrinkles on the face and fillers can smoothen these out. Another common sign is sagging of the skin due to the soft tissues on the face disappearing over time, and fillers can be used to replace these tissue and make the skin look firmer and more supple. Overall, fillers can make the skin look younger and more vibrant.
Fillers can also be used to alter a feature you choose to suit your personal preference. For instance, they can change the look of your nose, the size of your chin, or anything else you want to enhance or highlight. With this, you can achieve better symmetry, proportion, and or definition.
How soon after the treatment are results visible, and how long would they last?
You’ll be able to see the results right away, but the skin will still be inflamed after the procedure. So usually your treatment area will look even better over the course of 2 to 4 weeks.
The achieved look can last from 9 to 18 months depending on age and lifestyle. No two people will have the complete same experience since individual treatment goals, treatment plan and skin conditions can vary. It can also depend on the type of dermal fillers used during the procedure.
