Reduce Wrinkles in San Diego

Results are immediate, with the final results appearing after just a few days. The overall volume from dermal fillers tends to increase over the first three days. How long dermal fillers last depends on the type used, but typically ranges from 9 months to 2 years. The team at SD Botox can help advise the best filler for your needs during your consultation.

Much like Botox, a filler appointment is quick and straightforward (about 30 minutes in total). Each appointment will start with a consultation where you’ll discuss the areas you’d like to enhance and your desired outcome. Then dermal filler will be strategically injected into the face to provide a natural and refreshed look. Since dermal fillers are commonly injected into more sensitive areas of the face, you can request that a topical numbing cream be applied before the treatment to reduce pain. There may be some slight bruising and/or swelling around the injection site, that will go away within 24-48 hours.

If you want to target wrinkles that appear even when you aren’t making facial expressions, dermal fillers are a great option. Static wrinkles aren’t related to muscle movement and therefore will respond best to collagen stimulation. The hyaluronic acid that’s used in dermal fillers is structurally similar to collagen and has the same appearance when injected into various areas and depths of the face. Filler can be used to eliminate laugh lines, plump the cheeks and lips, and more.

The most common side effects of dermal fillers include itching, redness, bruising, mild rash, and swelling. Speak with your healthcare professional before receiving treatment to learn how to minimize the possibility of these symptoms occurring.
