Dermal Fillers NYC

The loss of facial volume is an extremely common issue that affects many people as they age. Volume loss can also be accelerated by things like weight changes, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and even stress. This problem can potentially disrupt your facial harmony and weaken the contours of your features. Fortunately, dermal fillers in NYC offer a simple, non-invasive way to restore your facial volume and rejuvenate your complexion.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable cosmetic treatments used to restore lost volume to various areas of the face, such as the cheeks, jawline, and lips. In addition to adding natural-looking volume, most fillers give the skin or lips a smoother, plumper appearance and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The majority of facial fillers are made with synthetic hyaluronic acid, which closely mimics the substance found naturally in our bodies. Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in keeping our skin hydrated, firm, and youthful. In some cases, dermal fillers will feature other active ingredients, such as poly-L-lactic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite.

At our clinic, we offer a diverse selection of state-of-the-art dermal fillers, each of which has its own applications and advantages:

What to Expect During Your Dermal Filler Treatment

Typically, treatment with dermal fillers is a quick, simple in-office process taking only around 15 to 30 minutes. Before the treatment begins, you’ll likely have your facial skin treated with a topical numbing cream to prevent any pain during the procedure. Your professional injector will then use a fine needle to inject your chosen dermal filler into the targeted area. Once the injections are finished, you’ll be able to leave the clinic and resume your day right away.

Dermal Filler Recovery and Aftercare

One of the advantages of dermal fillers is that they rarely require any downtime. You should feel well enough to return to your normal routine right away after your treatment, although some patients prefer to wait a day or two. You may experience mild swelling, redness, and discomfort in the treated area, but these symptoms rarely last for more than a few days. After your treatment, you’ll want to wait at least 24 to 48 hours to participate in strenuous exercise. It’s also important to follow all of your provider’s aftercare instructions.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Facial Filler Treatment?

Adults who would like to volumize and rejuvenate their facial skin could be good candidates for facial fillers in NYC. Typically, the best candidates for these treatments have lost facial volume due to aging, genetics, or other factors. Certain dermal fillers can be excellent options for individuals dealing with thin lips, hollow cheeks, or under-eye bags. Dermal fillers could also be right for you if you’d simply like to reduce signs of aging and attain smoother, firmer facial skin.

To be an ideal candidate for dermal fillers, it’s important that you meet the following criteria:

Be in generally good physical health
Have realistic expectations for the treatment
Have no active skin infections
Have no allergies to hyaluronic acid or other dermal filler ingredients
