3 questions you may have about facial fillers

Despite this increase in popularity, many people still have questions about facial fillers and how they work. People mistakenly think that these are painful surgical procedures that will permanently disfigure the face.

Whether you're considering facial fillers or just wondering what they are, this article will answer three of the most frequently asked questions you might have about fillers.

1. What are facial fillers?

Facial or dermal fillers are injectables that can enhance your existing features and make your face appear more youthful by adding volume to thin, unstructured, or undefined areas of the face and body. Most signs of aging are associated with volume loss. As facial tissues become thinner, lines and wrinkles become more obvious. Dermal fillers help to soften these wrinkles and fine lines associated with aging. They also work beautifully to create fuller, plumper lips. With facial fillers, it’s easy to restore your youthful glow!

They are a gel-like substance that’s injected beneath the skin. Despite many misconceptions, facial fillers are a non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime. So you can enjoy your younger-looking skin almost immediately.

2. How do I choose the best facial filler for me?

There are so many different types of facial fillers that it can feel overwhelming if you’re trying to decide on one for yourself. 

The good news is that our qualified expert injectors can provide guidance about which facial filler is best for you and which will achieve your desired results. All of our clinics offer complimentary consultations where you can discuss your needs and be offered a personalized treatment plan. 

Generally, you’ll want to consider where you want the facial filler injected, how long you want the treatment to last, what you want the effect to be, and how much downtime works for you. 

5. Are there any risks and side effects?

Getting dermal fillers is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure, and if done by a expert injector, should have few or no side effects. Common minor side effects include swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, which dissipates within one week post treatment.
