INTRODUCTION TO DERMAL FILLERS
Cosmetic Injections
The Background
As we age, our skin naturally undergoes changes but factors like overexposure to the sun, smoking, and genetics can accelerate the aging process, resulting in wrinkles, sagging, dryness, and other skin problems. These visible signs of aging may affect your confidence and self-esteem. While a healthy lifestyle can certainly help delay the onset of these changes, it may not be enough to completely slow the progress or reverse them.
The Issue
What if you could erase the telltale signs of aging? Progression of deep lines, sagging skin and areas of volume loss can all be targeted to help elevate your look!
The Solution
Dermal fillers rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of your face.
By injecting a filler under the surface of your skin, wrinkles and fine lines can be softened and a deeper injection of filler can address areas of volume loss. Dermal fillers are a popular choice for those looking to enhance their natural features or achieve a more youthful appearance. Some popular treated areas include under the eyes, laugh lines, cheeks, lips and the temple area. Fillers are a great way to help you appear more refreshed and revitalized.
FAQs
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment used to enhance areas of volume loss and help to rejuvenate the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance. The fillers are most commonly made of hyaluronic acid-based products. These fillers are non-permanent, therefore they are reabsorbed into the body over time. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in body tissues and has been used safely for several decades.
How do dermal fillers work?
During the aging process, we lose some of the skin’s building blocks, such as collagen, fat and bone. This causes our skin to become loose and sag, allowing fine and deep lines to appear. The dermal filler acts as a replacement for lost fat and bone, and helps to restore our skin to its former youthful appearance. Filler material is carefully injected into different layers of the skin depending on the type of filler selected and your individual needs. Dermal fillers are available in a variety of thicknesses and viscosity to address different areas of your face depending on the issue being addressed.
What are the benefits of dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are often preferred over cosmetic surgery due to their cost-effectiveness and non-invasive nature. Results are immediate, and you are able to see how much you like the treatment as it progresses.
What areas can dermal fillers treat?
Dermal fillers can be used to treat a range of areas such as nasolabial lines or folds, smile lines, cheeks, lips, hollows under the eyes and temple areas. Use them to add volume to your skin, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance your facial features.

Post-Care Instructions for
Dermal Fillers
- Avoid significant movement or massaging of the treated area (unless otherwise instructed by the provider)
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Avoid make-up for 4-6 hours to help prevent infection
- Avoid extensive sun or heat for 72 hours
- Avoid consuming excess amounts of alcohol or salts to avoid excess swelling
- If you experience swelling, you may apply a gentle cool compress as needed
- Try to sleep face-up for the first few days to avoid pressure on treated areas
- Mild redness and/or slight bruising are possible after the injection, depending on the areas treated
- Wait for 24 hours before resuming exercise, especially if it’s part of your daily routine. Your doctor may suggest waiting longer as physical activity can increase blood flow, which could spread the toxin and reduce its effectiveness at the injection site.
- Performing facial exercises like frowning, smiling, and raising your eyebrows is safe and can actually help the effects of Botox appear sooner.
- Avoid applying makeup on your skin for at least 24 hours after Botox treatment to prevent the potential dispersal of the toxin caused by rubbing.
- Sit upright and avoid bending or lying down for the first 4 hours after receiving Botox to minimize the spreading of the toxin and maintain its effectiveness at the injection site.
- Consult your doctor about medications that may increase your risk of bruising and when it is safe to resume taking them.
- Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure on the treated area and maintain a normal heart rate to allow the Botox to settle into the muscles properly.
- Refrain from consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours after Botox treatment, as it can increase the risk of bruising.
- Avoid skin treatments like facial massages, exfoliating scrubs, and dermal fillers for the first 24 hours as they may also reduce the effectiveness of the Botox.
- Steer clear of sun exposure for at least 4 hours after treatment as it can cause flushing and increase blood pressure due to heat. For added caution, avoid the sun for 24 to 48 hours.
- Try to avoid sleeping on the areas where Botox was injected to minimize physical pressure and help the toxin settle into the muscles.
