What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal Fillers are popular injectable substances that are used to restore volume and enhance facial contours. They are composed of various materials, such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid, which are safely injected into specific areas of the face to address signs of aging, wrinkles, and loss of volume. Our Dermal Fillers can help smooth out fine lines, plump up lips, restore cheek volume and diminish the appearance of scars or deep folds. The treatment is non-surgical and provides immediate results with minimal downtime, making it a coveted choice for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation in Washington DC & Baltimore.

How Do I Prepare for Dermal Fillers?

Preparation is essential for a successful Dermal Filler treatment. While you will receive more personalized instructions during your consultation, here are some general tips to consider:

  • Hair Removal: Refrain from shaving, waxing, or using any hair removal products in the treatment area for at least a week before your appointment.
  • Sun Protection: Prioritize sun protection by wearing sunscreen on your face regularly in the two weeks leading up to your appointment. This helps protect your skin and minimize the risk of post-treatment complications.
  • Pain Medications: Avoid taking over-the-counter pain medications like ibuprofen before your treatment, as they can interfere with the healing process. If you have concerns about discomfort during the procedure, discuss alternative options with your provider.
  • Skin Preparation: Maintain a calm state for your skin by refraining from using excessive skincare products or harsh treatments in the days leading up to your treatment. This allows your skin to be in a balanced and receptive condition for the dermal filler procedure.
  • Exfoliation: Cease any exfoliation practices in the days before your treatment. This helps prevent skin irritation and ensures optimal results from the procedure.

What are the Steps of a Dermal Fillers Procedure?

Our patients in Washington DC & Baltimore rave about how easy a Dermal Filler treatment can be. During your Dermal Filler treatment, Dr. Landford will ensure your comfort by providing a relaxing environment at either one of our offices.

Using a fine needle, Dr. Landford will carefully inject the Dermal Filler into the predetermined treatment areas.

Throughout the injection process, Dr. Landford may massage the treated area to ensure the even distribution of the filler.

The entire procedure typically takes between 10 to 30 minutes. After the injections, Dr. Landford will assess the results and make any necessary touch-ups to ensure symmetry and balance. This may involve additional injections or adjustments to achieve the desired outcome.

Where are the Incisions and Scars for Dermal Fillers?

We are thrilled to inform our patients that when it comes to Dermal Fillers; there are typically no incisions or scars involved in the procedure. Dermal Fillers are non-surgical treatments that are administered through injections using fine needles or cannulas. The injections are made directly into the targeted areas of the skin to enhance volume, smooth wrinkles, or improve facial contours.

Since Dermal Fillers are minimally invasive and do not require incisions, there is no visible scarring associated with the treatment. The injection sites may experience temporary redness, swelling, or minor bruising, but these effects usually subside within a few days.

Dermal Fillers Recovery

Once treatment is finished, there is typically little to no downtime allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately. However, it’s important to follow some post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal recovery and results.

  • Avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated areas
  • Apply cold compresses
  • Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle
  • Avoid strenuous activities and sun exposure
