Come and Experience Emerald, where we celebrate the artistry of aesthetics. In this blog post, we’re shedding light on the most frequently asked questions about dermal fillers. Discover how these transformative treatments can enhance your natural beauty with precision and elegance, while of course, keeping a natural appearance. This is our specialty!

Let’s start from the beginning.

If you are new to aesthetics you might have heard about dermal filler, but aren’t really sure what it is or how it works. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to add volume, smooth lines, and restore youthful contours. They work by replenishing lost volume, enhancing facial features, and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles.

Dermal fillers are extremely versatile and can be used to address a variety of areas and concerns, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lip plumping, cheek augmentation/contour, and under-eye hollows.

Our experienced practitioners at Emerald Aesthetics tailor each treatment to your unique needs. They will consult with each and every client and formulate a treatment plan that also fits your budget, which is just as important to us as it is to you!

A common question at this point is how long will my dermal filler last?

This is a great time for us to provide some education so your expectations are realistic. The longevity of dermal filler results varies based on the type of filler used and the treated area. Generally, results can last anywhere from six months to two years. Maintenance sessions can prolong the effects, providing ongoing rejuvenation.

Safety is our first priority. So, are dermal fillers safe to use?

When administered by qualified and skilled practitioners, dermal fillers are considered safe. We prioritize safety and adhere to the highest standards in the industry. Every patient is screened by our own in-house nurse practitioner, Jade, to ensure your safety and provide peace of mind knowing you are in good hands.

Dermal filler injections really aren’t too uncomfortable at all.

In fact, most people are surprised at just how easy and comfortable their treatment is. We are excited to tell you that you don’t have to suffer through an appointment just to get the lips of your dreams, or balance your side profile with dermal fillers. There are several different modalities we use to make our patients as comfortable as possible. Most clients report minimal discomfort during dermal filler injections. Our practitioners use fine needles and our dermal fillers contain a local anesthetic (numbing agent) for added comfort. Your experience is our priority, and we strive to make each session as comfortable as possible.

With all great things in medicine come potential side effects, and dermal fillers are not exception.

Common side effects may include temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. These effects typically subside within a few hours (redness) to a few days (bruising and swelling take just a bit longer to subside). Serious complications are rare but will be discussed with you by our nurse practitioner and staff during your consultation.

I know what you’re thinking, can I get dermal filler at the same time as other aesthetic treatments?

If you are anything like me and like to plan on getting two birds with one stone as they used to say, this is a great question. The answer is, absolutely! Dermal fillers can be seamlessly integrated with other aesthetic treatments, such as Botox or skin rejuvenation procedures, to achieve a comprehensive and harmonious enhancement tailored to your unique features. However, there are a few things we will not want you to combine or overlap with your dermal filler apt. We have created an entire post care instructional link for our clients to ensure they are doing everything they can to maintain their filler results and get the most out of their treatment.

Now let’s talk about who is a good candidate for dermal filler.

Dermal fillers are suitable for individuals seeking to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours without the need for surgery. Our experts here at Emerald will assess your individual goals and create a personalized treatment plan just for you.

We believe in the transformative potential of dermal fillers.

These treatments, when administered with precision and artistry, can unveil a more radiant and confident version of yourself. Sometimes something as subtle as a balanced chin can make all the difference in your self confidence!
