Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are an advanced, non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to enhance facial features and reduce the signs of aging. They are an excellent option for those looking for subtle, natural-looking enhancements without the downtime associated with surgery. At Infini Cosmetic Associates, we specialize in the use of dermal fillers to help our patients achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and plumpness in the skin. These fillers are used to fill in wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance facial contours. They are commonly applied to areas such as the lips, cheeks, nose, and jawline, and can also be used to address age-related concerns like nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

  • Non-surgical: Dermal fillers offer a non-invasive way to enhance your appearance without the need for surgery.
  • Instant Results: Results are visible immediately after the treatment, giving you a refreshed look right away.
  • Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience minimal downtime, with any swelling or bruising typically subsiding within a few days.
  • Customizable: Dermal fillers allow for tailored treatments based on your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
  • Long-Lasting: Depending on the area treated and the type of filler used, results can last from 6 to 12 months.

Common Uses for Dermal Fillers

  • Lip Augmentation: Enhance the fullness and shape of your lips with natural-looking results.
  • Non-Surgical Nose Job: Achieve subtle corrections to your nose’s shape without the need for rhinoplasty.
  • Cheek Enhancement: Restore volume and definition to your cheeks for a more youthful appearance.
  • Jawline Sculpting: Define and contour your jawline for a sharper, more structured look.
  • Nasolabial Folds: Smooth out the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
  • Tear Troughs: Address sunken or tired-looking eyes with precise filler injections in the under-eye area.

The Treatment Process

Before your dermal filler treatment, a consultation is conducted to assess your goals and determine the appropriate type and amount of filler needed. The treatment area is numbed using a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort. The filler is then carefully injected using a fine needle to achieve the desired effect.

Most procedures take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. While there may be some mild swelling or bruising, these side effects typically resolve within a few days, leaving you with smooth, youthful-looking skin.

Aftercare and Recovery

Following your treatment, it is recommended to avoid intense heat (such as saunas or sunbathing) and pressure on the treated areas for a few days. You may also experience slight swelling or bruising, particularly with lip augmentation, but these symptoms should resolve within 3 to 5 days.

For the best results, avoid facial massages or applying pressure to the treated areas for the first two weeks after your procedure. You can resume most daily activities immediately after your treatment, and makeup can be applied after 12 hours.

Safety and Side Effects

Dermal fillers are considered a safe treatment when performed by an experienced practitioner. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, and tenderness at the injection site. In rare cases, lumps or bumps can form, but these can usually be massaged out within the first 24 hours.

It is important to inform your practitioner if you have any allergies, medical conditions, or are taking medications that may affect your treatment. Dermal fillers should be avoided by pregnant or breastfeeding women.
