How It Works
Preparation and Injection
The skin is cleansed and prepared for the procedure. A customized treatment plan will be discussed to address specific concerns. Fillers are injected using either needles or cannulas, depending on the treatment sites.
Discomfort is minimal and can be alleviated with numbing creams or skin vibration.
Post-Treatment Care
Swelling may occur for 1-2 days post-procedure. Bruising risk can be reduced with ice packs and pressure. Vascular laser treatment is available for reducing dark bruises if necessary. Pain and tenderness at injection sites can be managed with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (e.g., Advil or Motrin).
Lumps or bumps may be normal and can be addressed if persistent or bothersome.
Maximizing Effects
Combining fillers with neuromodulators like Botox™ can enhance longevity.
H.A. Intensifier™ serum from SkinCeuticals boosts skin’s Hyaluronic Acid levels. Avoiding sleeping on injection sites, particularly for cheek treatments, can reduce compression.
Maintenance
Hyaluronic acid fillers are gradually degraded by enzymes in the skin. Periodic maintenance every 6-12 months helps sustain improvements. Duration of effectiveness depends on treatment sites, frequency, and intensity of movement.
