Fillers
"Have you noticed your skin start to sag and deep wrinkles start to form on your face? Different types of "dermal fillers", e.g Juvederm®, Radiesse®, are FDA-approved for the treatment of facial wrinkles and folds. They are injected into the skin to "fill in" and "plump" creases and folds to create a smoother, younger looking.
Fillers can be used for treatment of:
- Forehead wrinkles
- Sunken temples
- Sunken cheeks
- Deep lines on both sides of nose
- Lips for a fuller and plumper look
- Wrinkles around the mouth ("smoking lines")
- Hands for a younger and fuller look
- Neck for removal of the horizontal lines
Fillers are available in a variety of brand names. Our dermatology clinic is offering some of the most well-known and proven injectable fillers, including Belotero Balance, Juvederm®, Radiesse®
In general, filler injection is a safe
treatment. The common risks from filler injection include
redness, swelling, bruise at the injection site and pain during
injection. Severe adverse effects may occur rarely and may
include: Inflammation at the injection site causing bumps
occlusion of blood vessels causing tissue death.
It depends on the type of filler and the
area injected. It ranges from about 6 months to approximately 2
yrs.
There might be slight discomfort at the
injection site, depending on the sensitivity of your skin. Most
people tolerate the procedure very well.
