What are HA fillers?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps maintain moisture, volume, and elasticity. With time, your body produces less HA, leading to volume loss, wrinkles, and sagging skin. HA fillers involve injecting a gel-like substance beneath the skin to restore hydration, enhance contours, and create a natural, youthful look.
Our doctor can use HA fillers to:
- Voluminize lips
- Plump up cheeks
- Smoothen fine lines and wrinkles
- Eliminate nasolabial folds and marionette lines
What can I expect from the procedure?
Every patient is different. That’s why your treatment starts with a clinical consultation with Dr. Swanson or Dr. Taylor. They’ll discuss your skin goals and examine your skin to determine its suitability for dermal fillers. If so, they will advise on how to prepare before your treatment. Generally, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for about two weeks. Stay hydrated and avoid direct sun exposure.
On the treatment day, she will numb your skin with a topical cream for a painless experience. Then, inject the HA-based filler into the target areas on the skin. You won’t feel any pain, and the procedure doesn’t take long. Typically, your procedure lasts about 30-45 minutes, depending on the treatment area and the condition being treated.
Is there downtime?
Dermal fillers typically involve minimal downtime, allowing most individuals to resume their daily activities immediately after treatment. Potential side effects include mild swelling, bruising, and redness at the treatment sites. However, these discomforts fade within a few days without little intervention.
Our team will give post-treatment instructions to minimize side effects and promote healing. These include:
- Refrain from vigorous exercise 24-48 hours post-treatment to reduce swelling and bruising.
- Stay away from direct sunlight, tanning beds, and saunas for the first 48 hours to prevent irritation.
- Avoid massaging or pressing on the injection sites to allow the filler to settle properly.
How long do the results last?
Initial improvements are often visible immediately. However, it may take up to two weeks for the filler to fully integrate and for swelling to completely subside, revealing the optimal outcomes.
Dermal fillers aren’t permanent. HA fillers typically last 6-18 months, depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and your body’s natural metabolism. Regular maintenance and touch-up treatments can extend the results, keeping your look refreshed over time.
