Dermal Fillers
What is Dermal Filler?
Dermal Filler is a non-surgical, natural looking, long-lasting, in-office procedure using gel filler technology that instantly smooths away any wrinkles around your mouth and nose. The injectable gel is also used to soften frown lines, plump the eyebrows, smooth under-eye hollows, enhance the lips, define the cupid’s bow and overall enhance the contours of the cheeks, chin and jawline. Our Hyaluronic Acid fillers include BELOTERO BALANCE®, JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC, JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC, Restylane®, Restylane® Silk, Restylane® Lyft, Restylane® Defyne, and Restylane® Refyne. We also use RADIESSE® which is a Calcium Hydroxylapatite dermal filler lasting a year or longer in patients.
Am I a good candidate for Dermal Filler?
Over time, your face changes in many ways. This is part of the normal aging process, but genetics and environmental factors also play a role. If you are in good overall health and have realistic expectations from dermal filler, you are a perfect candidate. Thousands of patients around Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington have realized the customizable benefits of filler which helps them in adding volume to slight wrinkles and folds, regaining facial contours and correcting deep wrinkles as well.
What is the recovery from Filler?
The recovery time frame is negligible to minimal. Most patients return to work right after their treatment, while a few might observe some swelling or slight bruising which resolves within a week. You may be advised to wear a hat for protection from sunlight and use very little makeup for the first 10 days.
What will my results be like?
Your results are visible immediately after the treatment and will last from several months to several years depending on the filler used and the patient injected. Maintaining good overall health and maintaining healthy and strong skin will improve the results and longevity. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office.
