Our team takes the time to answer your questions so you can better understand these services and if they are right for you! Let’s look at some frequently asked questions that we often hear from our Plano, Texas team.
What exactly are hyaluronic acid dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid are gel-like materials that are carefully and painstakingly injected beneath the skin to improve facial features, increase volume, and smooth wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is described as a naturally occurring compound in your body, so the fillers are not a strange substance injected into your skin.
Are hyaluronic acid dermal fillers safe to use?
Yes, absolutely! When these injectables are administered by a licensed and experienced professional, hyaluronic acid fillers are considered safe. The key is to ensure you are going to a professional so you can enjoy your results worry-free.
How long do the results last?
It depends on the type of filler and your body’s metabolism, but you can typically enjoy the effects for anywhere between six to 18 months. It’s like hitting the refresh button on your look, turning back the hands of time for several months without plastic surgery!
Does getting fillers hurt?
No one loves needles, but the good news is most of our fillers come with a bit of anesthetic to make the process as comfy as possible. You might feel a tiny pinch or some pressure, but overall, it’s a tolerable experience.
Will I look overdone or unnatural?
Our skilled injectors take time to focus on enhancing your natural beauty, not altering it. The key is balance and subtlety. We want you to look refreshed rather than redone and ensure your final look doesn’t appear as though you’ve had “work done.”
Is there downtime after getting fillers?
There isn’t much downtime following filler injections. You might experience a little swelling or bruising, but these effects usually go away after a day or two. Many of our patients return to their normal routines the same day.
Can anyone get hyaluronic acid fillers?
Most of our patients are great candidates, but it is always a good idea to consult a professional to discuss if fillers are right for you. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have certain medical conditions, fillers might not be the best fit.
