Fillers are cosmetic treatments that involve injecting unique substances under your skin to reduce wrinkles and plump your face. Fillers are popular; more than three million people in the United States use them yearly. Downtown DC fillers smooth wrinkles and lines, plump lips and cheeks, and tighten sagging skin. The filler procedure takes less than an hour, and you can resume work immediately after treatment. The treatment is non-surgical, so no recovery time is needed. Fillers are available in different types, each lasting for a varying period.
Fillers are reversible
Your dermatologist can reverse the outcomes of your fillers. If you get undesirable results, your dermatologist can adjust the effects. Your provider can inject additional filler or dissolve it depending on the type of filler used to balance the impact. If you have hyaluronic acid fillers, your provider can inject a particular enzyme to dissolve the product. Ensure your service provider is skilled and experienced in filler treatment to avoid undesirable outcomes.
There are many types of fillers
Fillers are either made from artificial materials or substances that occur naturally in your body. Your dermatologist can do autologous fat grafting, which involves removing fat from a part of your body and injecting it into your face. The off-the-shelf fillers include hyaluronic acid, poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethyl methacrylate. The type of filler your doctor recommends will be based on your skin type and goal.
Fillers provide immediate results
Most people see immediate results after the filler procedure. The outcomes can last for months to years, depending on your skin and the type of filler used. The effects of fillers fade over time as they continue being absorbed in your body. Practicing a good skin routine and avoiding sun exposure several days after filler treatment can help maintain your outcomes longer. You can also get other treatment sessions to keep your results.
No or minimal downtime is required after filler treatment
No recovery period is needed after the filler procedure. You can resume your daily assignments immediately after treatment. If you experience bruising, redness, or swelling, you may require minimal downtime, and these effects disappear within a few days. Sometimes your dermatologist may recommend you avoid vigorous exercise and activities two days after treatment.
You can have side effects after filler treatment
The common side effects of fillers are bruising, redness, pain, and swelling. These effects disappear within two weeks. In rare cases, you may get raised bumps under your skin, but they can be treated with injections or medications. Although rare, you may get severe effects like blurry vision or weakness on one side of your body. These complications require immediate medical attention.
Fillers can treat various skin defects
Fillers are commonly known to smooth out wrinkles. They also smooth out chin creases, improve facial symmetry, plump and enhance lips and diminish vertical lip lines. If your cheeks or temples are sunken, fillers can enhance and restore their volume. Fillers also smooth out lines around your nose and mouth, such as marionette lines and parentheses.
