What Can I Expect From Dermal Filler Treatments

Treatments with dermal fillers are quick and done in-office. Once a treatment plan is agreed upon, the expert injector will determine the best site for your injections to ensure they are done safely and effectively. There is minimal pain associated with any cosmetic injectable, but the use of a numbing anesthetic can be discussed if desired.

Dermal fillers are gel-like products that are injected under the surface of the skin to increase volume in desired areas. Luxe MD Aesthetics offers a variety of popular brands of dermal fillers that differ in their use but contain the same primary ingredient: hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring substance found in the skin that keeps it hydrated and full. Juvederm manufactures a wide range of hyaluronic acid fillers that are designed to treat different areas of the face. Some Juvederm products are meant for treating wrinkles around the mouth, for instance, while others are best used for increasing volume near the cheeks. We also offer Restylane products. Restylane products are useful for increasing volume around the mouth and cheeks, as well as for reducing bags found near the eyes and increasing volume in the back of the hands. Juvederm and Restylane can last a few months up to two years, depending on which type of filler is used and where it is injected.

When Will I See Results and How Long Does It Take to Recover?

With dermal filler injections, results are seen immediately. The product instantly adds shape and volume to the area where it was injected. Wrinkles and lines in the treated area will be substantially decreased and your face or hands will take on fuller, more youthful contours. Dermal filler treatments may also be repeated regularly to continue enjoying the improvements. There is no recovery time and one can resume normal activities although strenuous activities should be avoided for 24hrs.
