Introduction

Dermal Fillers

As we age, our skin undergoes changes that result in a reduction of natural volume, leading to the formation of wrinkles and folds. Fortunately, there are non-surgical options available in Fort Lauderdale, FL, such as injectable Dermal Fillers from Himmarshee Plastic Surgery. Dermal Fillers are an extremely popular cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. These injectable gels are designed to add volume to areas of the face that have lost elasticity or firmness due to aging, sun damage, or other factors. Dermal Fillers are a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation and can help to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. They can also be used to enhance features such as the lips and cheeks or to correct facial asymmetry. Dr. Savannah Moon and Dr. Stephanie Scurci embrace a minimal approach to dermal fillers to achieve results that are natural-looking and not overdone. Keep reading if you’re ready to combat aging with a simple and effective solution!

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are often used for treating deep-set facial wrinkles, and they can also add volume to hollow areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes, all of which are common effects of aging.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers are the most popular option since they are designed to bind water molecules to add volume beneath the skin. They’re regularly used to plump lips, smooth wrinkles, and folds, and fill depressions caused by scars. The duration of filler varies significantly between individuals and is dependent on the location they’re placed, but most last 6 months up to a year and longer. Hyaluronic acid fillers are preferred at Himmarshee Plastic Surgery due to their safety as they are not permanent and can be reversed if necessary. We have a range of HA dermal fillers available, including Juvederm and Restylane.

First Steps

What’s the first step?

The first step to getting a Dermal Filler treatment in Fort Lauderdale is to call us for a consultation. During the consult, our highly trained and friendly medical staff will assess your desires and intended goals for seeking dermal filler. We may discuss your medical history if it is relevant to know whether treatment is right for you. We also encourage you to ask questions and share your concerns. We love to meet new prospective patients and walk you through the process during the consultation. After the consultation, we can book your appointment and begin the process.

What to expect on the day of a Dermal Filler treatment

On the day of your procedure, we offer cold compresses and numbing medication to minimize pain or discomfort throughout the procedure. Your provider may make tiny marks where they plan on making injections. They will take a syringe with a very fine needle and make strategic injections with an exact amount of filler. Then, they will lightly massage the filler around to spread it evenly and examine the results, only adding more filler if needed.

An appointment for Dermal Fillers usually takes less than an hour, making it a great lunchtime option for our busy clients. Once the injectables are complete, you will be free to move about the rest of your day.

Dermal Fillers recovery

The recovery time for Dermal Fillers is very short. Most of our clients return to work or go about their day as normal. You may feel a small amount of dull pain or irritation at the injection site, but it will not last long. We recommend over-the-counter pain medications to ensure you experience as little pain as possible. Patients also usually note swelling in the treated area, which will dissipate over the following week. Our medical professionals will give you information after the procedure outlining the best pain relief for you, based on your skin type and any symptoms you may be experiencing.

Any pain or irritation you do feel should dissipate within 24-48 hours. We encourage you to call us for any concerns or issues after your treatment.
