Are dermal fillers safe?
Dermal filler treatments are safe, provided that you go to trustworthy filler clinics in Singapore or an experienced injector. However, people who are allergic or sensitive to the ingredients of fillers should not undergo treatment. Your aesthetic doctor will determine if dermal fillers are safe and right for you.
Do dermal fillers hurt?
The injection can feel like tiny ant bites, but the sensation varies. The application of numbing cream can ease discomfort and pain. Some brands of fillers also have lidocaine, a local anesthetic that can numb the area and improve patient comfort.
What is the difference between botulinum toxin and dermal fillers?
Botulinum toxin uses a neurotoxin that temporarily blocks the signal from a nerve to a muscle. This reduces muscle contractions, which then softens and relaxes the wrinkles. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, fill in the hollows, lines, wrinkles, and other areas of the face that lack volume.
How soon will I see the results?
You can see improvements immediately after the procedure, but full results of a dermal filler treatment can be seen after two weeks. This is the time it takes for the filler to fully blend and settle with the surrounding tissues.
How long do the results last?
With typical hyaluronic acid fillers, the results last between 6 to 18 months. The longevity of results can depend on how fast your body absorbs the material and the constant movement of the treated areas. For areas with excessive movements such as the lips, the fillers can last shorter. And for those with minimal muscle movement like the chin, the injectable can last longer.
Are dermal fillers reversible?
Yes, but only hyaluronic acid-based fillers. They can be reversed and dissolved by injecting a safe enzyme known as hyaluronidase. This dissolves the hyaluronic acid so the skin will absorb it. This can also address other concerns such as overfilling, prolonged swelling, and infection in the treatment area.
What are the potential side effects?
Dermal fillers’ side effects include swelling, redness, tenderness, and some bruising. You don’t have to worry though, as these are temporary and resolve within a couple of days.
