Dermal Fillers (Face and Lip Fillers)

What are Dermal Fillers?

So what are dermal fillers? Do not ever confuse them with Botulinum toxin or other injections. Dermal fillers are rather injectable implants and unlike Botulinum toxin they do not tend to freeze the facial muscles. Dermal fillers are injected with a needle, underneath the skin.

Generally, there are 4 main filler types and they carry the name of their main ingredient – Hyaluronic acid, Calcium hydroxylapatite, Poly-L-lactic acid and Polymethylmethacrylate fillers.

The most popular and widely used type of dermal fillers is Hyaluronic acid.

About the side effects

✓ As any procedure, dermal fillers have also side effects.
✓ Some of the most common of them are bruising, redness, swelling, pain.
✓ These effects, however, disappear within 2 weeks.

How to choose the right filler?

✓ If your treatment is carried by a proficient specialist, you do not have to worry about the right decisions.
✓ Thus, you had better choose the right professional for the job and do not worry much about the other things.

Why or when do people need dermal fillers?

✓ Dermal fillers are an excellent choice, when the patient does not want to undergo any surgery, but wants to look younger and fresher.
✓ Through the procedure it is possible to smooth the visible wrinkles and lines.
✓ One of the most visible advantages of dermal fillers is that patients see the effect of the treatment immediately after the procedure.

Are there safety precautions to take before the procedure?

✓ First of all, be sure that the specialist you are seeing is licensed and has certain proven experience. Thus, before choosing the physician do a little digging.
✓ Today, dermal fillers are available almost in every spa and beauty salon, but an incorrect injection may cause a number of serious consequences (infection, discoloration and even lumps).

Do dermal fillers have a lasting effect?

✓ The effect of dermal fillers will last about six months. If you like the results and want to go with them, you will have to make another injection. Usually 2 injections in 12 months are more than enough.
✓ Although the result of dermal fillers may last about 6 months, if you are not comfortable with the results you can still fix them or dissolve them altogether.

Dermal Fillers Burbank

As we age, our bodies change naturally, an unavoidable part of living. Our skin gradually loses subcutaneous fat, with the most visible sign being the appearance of wrinkles on our faces. Over time, the skin on the middle of our faces shifts down, too, causing our cheeks to sag a bit. This is where dermal fillers come in, as they can help you reclaim your skin’s natural beauty. At Brightcraft Aesthetics, we are proud to provide dermal fillers in Burbank delivered by a skilled team of experienced injectors.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Also known as soft tissue fillers and facial injections, dermal fillers are substances injected underneath the skin to restore volume, smooth lines, and soften creases. They’re a minimally invasive treatment that helps to rejuvenate your skin and decrease the effects of aging. They continue to become increasingly popular due to the speed of treatment and the impressive results that they can bring to a wide range of patients.

Types of Fillers

At present, there are a variety of safe and effective fillers on the market, with more being developed for increasingly specialized benefits. At Brightcraft Aesthetics, we offer several options, including two popular hyaluronic acid options that our patients love: Juvederm and Restylane. Both produce impressive results, and many patients actually use the two combined for different treatment areas.

Juvederm

The smoother option, allowing for stunning results in tighter and more defined facial areas, such as smile lines. Patients can expect results from Juvederm to last between six months to a year and a half.

Restylane

The more granular option, allowing for impressive volume restoration and facial contouring. Like Juvederm, results for Restylane can last anywhere from half a year to eighteen months.

What Can Fillers Do?

One of the reasons fillers are so popular is that they can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including:
  • Plumping thin lips and enhancing their shape
  • Restoring lost volume
  • Enhancing shallow contours
  • Softening facial creases and wrinkles
  • Improving the appearance of recessed scars
  • Reconstructing contour deformities in the face
  • Decreasing or removing the shadow of the lower slips

How do dermal fillers work?

  • You will receive a topical anesthetic to numb the area.
  • Based on what you want to accomplish, your doctor will decide the number of fillers to use and inject it into the areas desired.
  • Multiple injections may be administered if you have scars or deep lines.
  • Overall, the procedure is straightforward and fast, lasting barely one hour (often less) so you can continue with your day.
  • You can combine fillers with other non-surgical treatments to enhance results.
  • Most patients have no downtime and can resume activities the same day.

How long will dermal fillers last?

Some fillers last than others, and the duration can be affected by factors such as age, health, genetics, and physical activity. However, their effects generally last at least six months before the substances are absorbed into the skin and begin to fade. Depending on the type of filler and your lifestyle though, you may see results for up to a year or more. We tend to recommend patients have touch-up treatments about once a year to keep their results looking at their peak aesthetic.

Are dermal fillers safe?

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical, minimally-invasive procedure. That means no incisions, no scarring, and no strenuous recovery. This alone makes them a safe alternative to invasive procedures and makes the treatment available to a wider range of candidates.

They’re generally safe overall, and your doctor will determine what type and how best to administer the filler to your skin. This personalized touch helps reduce the major risks associated with it being improperly injected or by people without the necessary training and certifications. All our injectors at Brightcraft Aesthetics have the experience and training necessary to provide a safe, comfortable experience.
