What is dermal filler treatment?
Dermal filler treatments are used to replace facial volume that has been lost over time or to enhance/contour certain features on the face. If you notice your skin isn’t as smooth or firm as it once was, or you’re noticing increased sagginess, dermal filler may be the right treatment option for you.
Over time, our skin loses hyaluronic acid, fat and collagen that normally contribute to healthy, vibrant and youthful-looking skin. Dermal filler treatment is performed using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers which are created to mimic the naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid made by our bodies. When injected, the product rehydrates, smooths and re-volumizes the skin.
Dermal filler treatment is minimally invasive and virtually painless aside from the pin prick of a small needle used for injection. Topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment and distraction tools are offered to provide additional comfort. All of our dermal fillers also contain lidocaine for increased comfort during treatment.
Before treatment:
- If possible, avoid unnecessary blood thinning products for at least 24 hours prior to treatment to limit the risk of bruising. This includes but is not limited to: alcoholic beverages, advil, aleve, vitamin E, gingko, fish oil, and omega 3. Please reach out if you have questions about additional supplements or medications that may impact your treatment, (902) 200-0043.
- Dermal filler treatment must be booked no sooner than 14 days before or after a dental appointment or vaccination of any kind
- Arrive for your appointment with a clean face, free of makeup
After treatment:
- Avoid touching, manipulating or placing direct pressure on the treated area.
- Avoid makeup, strenuous activity or extreme heat such as hot tubs or saunas for 24 hours.
- Sleep on your back for at least 3 days post treatment
