What Are Dental Fillers?
You may have heard the term “dermal fillers” at one time or another, but what are they exactly? This type of facial aesthetic treatment is meant to fill in areas of soft tissue that are plagued with set-in wrinkles, sunken scars, and deep sagging. Designed to improve the shape of your face, these fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which is a natural compound within the body that can decrease with age. Using products that contain this ingredient, we can restore volume and reduce wrinkles while also raising sunken areas to produce a more supple appearance.
Dermal fillers require minimal treatment time, which means there is no downtime necessary.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
While there are many different dermal fillers on the market, most contain hyaluronic acid. Its ability to encourage collagen and elastin production allows for greater elasticity and a more youthful aesthetic.
Dr. Santos will craft a treatment plan that indicates the number of injections you will need. She will carefully administer each one into specified areas of the face so that the solution disperses. Over time, it will begin to plump up these spaces, creating smoother skin and restoring volume to your face.
Dermal Fillers Commonly Asked Questions
Which Dermal Fillers Are Available In-House?
At Dental Designs of Maryland, we use Juvéderm Ultra XC, Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC, and Revanesse Versa+. The type we choose is dependent on the areas that need to be treated.
What Is the Difference Between Dermal Fillers and BOTOX® and Xeomin®?
Dermal fillers help to volumize skin and enhance the shape of your face, while BOTOX® and Xeomin® relax contracting muscles to create a smoother appearance. Oftentimes, these products are used in conjunction with each other to create more comprehensive and transformed results, but even if they’re used separately, they can generate improved confidence.
How Long Should I Expect My Dermal Fillers to Last?
Since there are various types of fillers, the results can vary. Some may only produce noticeable improvements for nine months while others can last two years or more. If you remain committed to treatment and pursue follow-up appointments with Dr. Santos, you can expect your results to last much longer.
Are There Risks Associated with Dermal Fillers?
No facial aesthetic treatment is without risk; however, the potential side effects of dermal fillers are minimal. Typically, patients may experience redness, bruising, tenderness, or swelling, but this is only temporary. In the most extreme cases, an infection can form, but this is very rare.
Will I Experience Pain When Receiving Dermal Fillers?
If you can handle a small pinch, you’ll be fine receiving dermal fillers. There is very little discomfort associated with treatment because of a topical anesthetic we can use beforehand. An added advantage is that most fillers contain lidocaine, which is a mild anesthetic, so you will feel little to nothing when undergoing treatment.
