What Are Facial Fillers?

Facial fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These non-surgical procedures use biocompatible substances like hyaluronic acid to rejuvenate your appearance, leaving your skin looking youthful and refreshed.

How Do Facial Fillers Work?

Facial fillers work by replenishing lost volume beneath the skin, stimulating collagen production, and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. The injection process is quick and minimally invasive, providing immediate improvement with little to no downtime. Skilled practitioners strategically place the fillers to achieve a natural and balanced look.

Common Treatment Areas for Facial Fillers

Facial fillers are versatile and can address various aesthetic concerns. The most common treatment areas include:

  • Lips: Enhance volume and shape for a fuller, more defined appearance.
  • Cheeks: Restore lost volume for a lifted, youthful contour.
  • Nasolabial Folds: Smooth lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
  • Under-Eye Hollows: Reduce dark circles and add volume for a refreshed look.
  • Jawline and Chin: Enhance definition and create a more sculpted profile.
  • Marionette Lines: Soften creases that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin.

FAQs

 

  • Avoid any blood thinners such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, or other blood-thinning supplements 2-4 days before your appointment (unless prescribed by your doctor). This significantly helps reduce bruising and swelling.
  • Limit alcohol and caffeine. Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine, especially 24 hours before treatment, as it can increase bruising and swelling.
  • Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin healthy and improve results.
  • Avoid Retinol & active skincare. Discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, and strong active ingredients (like glycolic acid or benzoyl peroxide) 1-2 days before your appointment to avoid irritation.
  • No dental work. Avoid dental procedures 2 weeks before & after treatment, as they can increase infection risk.
  • Please avoid any micro-needling or skin/chemical peel treatments for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.
  • Do not have any major events planned. Plan your appointment at least 2 weeks before any important event to allow time for full results and potential bruising to subside.
  • Eat before your appointment. Having a light meal can help prevent lightheadedness, especially if you are nervous about injections.
  • Come with clean skin. Arrive with a makeup-free face to prevent any risk of infection.
  • Let your practitioner know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a history of cold sores, or have any medical conditions.

 

 

  • Expect swelling & bruising. Mild swelling, redness, and bruising are normal and typically subside within 3-5 days (lips may take up to a week). Applying a cold compress (wrapped in a clean cloth) for short intervals can help reduce swelling.
  • Avoid touching the area. Refrain from massaging, rubbing, or applying pressure for at least 24 hours to prevent filler from shifting.
  • No strenuous exercise. Avoid intense workouts, saunas, hot yoga, or excessive sweating for 24-48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising.
  • Stay upright. Keep your head elevated and avoid lying down for at least 4 hours after treatment to allow filler to settle properly.
  • No makeup for 24 hours. Avoid applying makeup or skincare products directly on the treated area for a full day to prevent irritation or infection.
  • Avoid alcohol & blood thinners for 24-48 hours post-treatment to reduce bruising.
  • Hydrate & use gentle skincare. Drink plenty of water to help the filler integrate smoothly, and use a gentle, non-exfoliating skincare routine.
  • Avoid dental work & facial massages. Postpone any dental procedures or facial massages for at least 2 weeks to prevent complications.
  • Be patient with results. Full results will settle within 1-2 weeks, so give it time before assessing the final outcome.
  • Wait at least 2 weeks before getting micro-needling treatments.
  • Wait at least 2-4 weeks before getting a skin/chemical peel.
  • If you experience severe pain, white or blotchy skin, unusual discoloration, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately and notify your practitioner.
