DERMAL FILLER
JUVÉDERM RESTYLANE RHA COLLECTION
-
Dermal fillers are composed of various biocompatible materials that are safe for injection into the skin. The most common ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that retains moisture and adds volume. Other fillers may contain calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid. Each material works differently.
-
Dermal fillers are generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Many fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to reduce pain during the procedure. Your practitioner may also apply a topical numbing cream before the injections to enhance comfort.
-
Most patients experience minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. You can return to your daily activities immediately, though it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Applying ice packs can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
-
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as JUVÉDERM and Restylane, typically last six to eighteen months. Collagen-stimulating fillers like RADIESSE and Sculptra can last up to two years. Factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific area treated also influence the duration of the results.
