Everyone wants to look good and feel comfortable in their skin, and dermal fillers and Botox can help them achieve this goal without much trouble. Dermal fillers are a popular, minimally invasive option to consider for those who want to improve their facial features, such as a full, sensual pout, improved cheekbones, or smooth skin and wrinkles. It is essential to understand that dermal fillers are not a permanent solution, but rather that they are a very effective addition to any anti-aging regimen. According to the FDA, there is no research to show that dermal fillers are safe for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, so it is advisable to avoid them if you are expecting a baby or have recently had a child.
Dermal fillers made with HA usually last six months to a year, and some last up to 18 months. However, dermal fillers may not be suitable for people with certain conditions, such as bleeding disorders or some allergies. There are several types of dermal fillers on the market that have different textures and can add more or less density to specific facial areas. Injecting dermal fillers into the face and hands can improve the appearance of facial lines and volume loss caused by age or certain medical conditions.
The safe use of dermal fillers in combination with Botox and other treatments has not been evaluated in clinical studies. Some people choose to use Botox or dermal fillers as separate treatments, since each serves a different purpose, while others use a combination of the two for a comprehensive anti-wrinkle treatment. It is important to note that the results of dermal filler treatments vary from person to person and may require multiple treatments for optimal results. If you experience any side effects after your treatment, such as swelling or bruising, it is important to contact your doctor immediately.
In some cases, such as when a tear filling is injected too high or inside the eye bag, swelling may occur; however, this should be discussed with your doctor before the procedure so that they can take the necessary precautions.
