Who is a Candidate For dermal Fillers?
The best candidates for dermal fillers would be anyone seeking to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines without having a surgical facelift. In most circumstances, those who have recently lost significant amounts of weight have spots on their face that are sunken in or uneven. These attributes make them good candidates for injectable fillers. Fillers are also a great option for men and women who do not want to risk the scarring that can occur following a surgical facelift.
What happens during Dermal filler treatment?
Prior to your injection procedure, Dr. Bartos will meet with you to gain insight into your cosmetic goals and determine the best products for you. To perform your injections, Dr. Bartos might apply numbing cream to minimize the discomfort. Dr. Bartos will draw on her expertise to determine the ideal amount of wrinkle relaxer or filler and evenly inject it through a small needle. Dr. Bartos believes in taking a customized approach in order to produce natural-looking outcomes. Typical results can last from 3-6 months.
What can I expect after dermal fillers?
Injectable fillers are done as an in-office procedure in a very short amount of time. Due to the use of anesthetic, the process is typically very tolerable pain wise and does not require downtime. You can expect swelling and bruising immediately after, but these symptoms will fade away within a couple of days. Results can last from three months to a year depending on the type of filler used and the placement of injection. To maintain optimal results, Dr. Bartos may recommend touch-ups.
