What are dermal fillers? And are they safe?
Dermal fillers are composed of Hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that maintain skin hydration, volume, and elasticity. When injected these fillers replenish lost volume, instantly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and giving amore youthful and refreshed look. Juvederm, Revanesse and Restylane are popular and FDA/Health Canada-approved brands known for their effectiveness and safety in achieving natural-looking results.
As mentioned dermal fillers are generally safe when administered by a qualified practitioner. However, like any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. Common side effects include bruising, swelling, redness, pain and discomfort at the injection site. There is also a very small chance of infection, allergic reactions, lumps, bumps and migration of the filler. To minimize risk, it’s crucial to choose an experienced practitioner who uses Health Canada Approved fillers and proper injection techniques, like our practitioners at Health Globe Wellness Clinic. It’s also crucial to disclose any medical conditions, allergies or medications prior to treatment.
What is hyaluronic acid, and why is it used in fillers?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps keep skin hydrated, plump, and firm. It binds to water molecules and attracts moisture to the skin, which is why it’s a key ingredient in many dermal fillers. These fillers use a cross-linked form of hyaluronic acid to provide longer-lasting, natural-looking results.
Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers, and are there any contraindications?
Ideal candidates for dermal fillers are individuals seeking to address signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of facial volume. They may also want to enhance the natural contours of their face. However, there are contraindications for dermal fillers, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, severe allergies, autoimmune disorders, and bleeding disorders. It’s important to discuss any medical conditions or concerns with a qualified practitioner beforehand. Realistic expectations are essential, as dermal fillers can enhance appearance but won’t completely transform or halt the aging process. Understanding the potential risks and side effects is crucial. Our skilled practitioners at Health Globe Wellness Clinic can evaluate your needs and determine if dermal fillers or alternative treatments are suitable for you.
How long do dermal fillers last, and when will I need to get them redone?
Duration of dermal fillers can var based on filler type, treatment area and individual metabolism. Typically, fillers last 6 to 12 months before being naturally absorbed by the body. Certain fillers, like hyaluronic acid-based ones, can be reversed or dissolved if necessary. The decision to redo fillers depends on personal preference and goals. Some opt for touch-up treatments even few months, while others wait until the effects wear off completely. Consult with our practitioners at Health Globe Wellness Clinic to discuss your desired results and maintenance plan
What conditions can be treated with dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers can treat a variety of concerns, including:
- Volume loss in the cheeks, under the eyes, or temples (using products like Revanesse Ultra+ or Revanesse Contour+).
- Wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and forehead lines (often treated with Revanesse Versa+).
- Thin lips or lip lines, adding volume and definition to the lips (a perfect use for Revanesse Lips+).
- Under-eye hollows to reduce the appearance of dark circles and bags.
- Jawline and chin definition (contouring with fillers like Revanesse Contour+).
Is the treatment painful?
Most dermal fillers contain lidocaine (a numbing agent) to minimize discomfort during the injection process. While pain is generally minimal, some patients may experience slight tenderness or swelling after treatment. Most people find the procedure well-tolerated, and numbing cream can be applied to sensitive areas like the lips for additional comfort.
How do I prepare for a dermal filler treatment, and what should I expect during and after the procedure??
To prepare for a dermal filler treatment at Health Globe Wellness Clinic, schedule a consultation with our practitioner to discuss your goals, medical history, and concerns. Here are some general guidelines to follow:
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for a week before the procedure to minimize bruising and bleeding.
Refrain from alcohol and smoking for 24 hours prior to the treatment.
Arrive at the appointment with a clean, makeup-free face.
Inform your practitioner about any allergies or medical conditions.
During the procedure, the treatment area will be cleaned, and numbing cream or local anesthesia may be applied. The filler will then be injected into the desired areas using a fine needle or cannula.
Afterward, you may experience swelling, redness, or bruising. Apply a cold compress or ice pack to reduce swelling, and avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated area. Refrain from strenuous activities for 24 hours.
Most activities can be resumed immediately, but follow your practitioner’s instructions regarding specific limitations such as saunas or sun exposure.
Adhere to post-care instructions and schedule any required follow-up appointments for a safe and successful treatment.
Are There Any Special Aftercare Instructions I Need to Follow, and When Can I Return to My Normal Activities?
After getting dermal fillers, following proper aftercare instructions is crucial for minimizing complications and achieving optimal results. Here are some common guidelines:
Avoid strenuous exercise and activities that increase blood flow to the face for at least 24 hours after treatment.
Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours.
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours post-treatment.
Apply ice packs or cold compresses if needed to reduce swelling or bruising.
Stay away from extreme heat or cold, such as saunas or hot tubs, for 2 weeks.
Avoid makeup or skincare products that may irritate the skin or clog pores for at least 24 hours.
Specific aftercare instructions may vary based on the filler type and treated area. Your practitioner at Health Globe Wellness Clinic will provide detailed instructions and address your concerns.
While you can typically resume daily routines immediately, consider avoiding social events for a few days to allow swelling or bruising to subside. Also, refrain from activities that could risk injury to the treated area, like contact sports.
Can I combine dermal fillers with other treatments?
Combining dermal fillers with other cosmetic treatments like neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, etc) or laser therapy is possible and often yields more comprehensive and longer-lasting results. Botox relaxes the muscles causing wrinkles, while dermal fillers restore volume. Laser therapy addresses skin texture, tone, and pigmentation issues. By combining these treatments, you can achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance. Our practitioners at Health Globe Wellness Clinic will discuss your goals and concerns, recommend the best treatment plan, and provide guidance on timing and potential risks or side effects associated with combining treatments.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
One of the major advantages of dermal fillers, including Revanesse, is that they generally require little to no downtime. You may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness, but these symptoms usually resolve within a few days. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after their treatment.
