There is minimal downtime after dermal filler injections. You may experience some temporary bruising, swelling, and redness, which usually subsides within a few days.

Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances used to add volume, reduce wrinkles, and enhance facial features. They are made from various materials, including hyaluronic acid (HA), collagen, and polylactic acid (PLA).

The cost of dermal filler injections varies depending on the type of filler used, the amount needed, and the practitioner's expertise. Typically, it ranges from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per treatment.

The results you can expect from dermal filler injections will depend on several factors, including: The type of filler used: Each type of filler has unique properties and is suited for different purposes. For example, hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediate hydration and volume, while calcium hydroxyapatite fillers are denser and better for deeper wrinkles. The area treated: Different areas of the face respond differently to fillers. Common areas treated include lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, and temples. Each area will have its own specific results. The amount of filler used: The amount of filler used will determine the degree of correction achieved. More filler typically means more dramatic results, but it's important to maintain a natural look. Your individual anatomy and skin: Everyone's skin ages differently and has unique features. The results you see will be shaped by your own individual characteristics. Here are some general results you can expect from dermal fillers: Smoother skin: Fillers can plump up wrinkles and lines, giving your skin a smoother appearance. Reduced volume loss: Fillers can restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks and temples, resulting in a more youthful contour. Enlarged lips: Lip fillers can add volume and definition to your lips. Enhanced facial features: Fillers can subtly enhance your facial features, such as your cheekbones or jawline, for a more balanced look. Improved confidence: Many people who get dermal fillers experience a boost in confidence and self-esteem due to their improved appearance.

The procedure is usually performed in a doctor's office or clinic. The area to be treated is numbed with a local anesthetic. The filler is then injected with a thin needle into the targeted areas. The entire procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes.
