Frequently Asked Questions About Dermal Fillers
Could I Benefit From Fillers?
Dermal fillers may be an appealing option for individuals who are seeking non-surgical treatments for specific signs of aging. They may be administered for most skin tones and types, and they are particularly effective for concerns related to volume loss.
A consultation with our professionals in El Paso can help determine if these injectable treatments may help you best address your concerns. Our professionals will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your concerns, goals, and treatment preferences.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
Dermal fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. The longevity of the results can vary based on factors like your skin type, lifestyle, and how your body metabolizes the product. Some areas of the face, like the lips, may require more frequent touch-ups, while other areas, such as the cheeks, might maintain their volume longer.
Do Dermal Filler Injections Hurt?
Dermal filler injections are generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort. Many fillers contain a numbing agent like lidocaine, which helps to minimize any pain during the procedure. If you have concerns about discomfort, we can apply a topical anesthetic before your treatment to enhance your comfort.
How Long Is a Dermal Filler Appointment?
A typical appointment for injectables lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Your appointment may be longer if you choose to use numbing cream since this takes time to make the area numb. Your consultation is usually included with your appointment for a more convenient treatment.
Is There Any Downtime After Dermal Fillers?
There is usually minimal to no downtime after receiving cosmetic fillers, so you can return to your daily routine right away. You might experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 to 48 hours to get the best results.
