Loss of facial volume is a common age-related problem for many people. The resulting wrinkles, lines, and folds can make you appear older and less vibrant than you feel.

Today, we can reliably correct this problem with injectable fillers in Raleigh, NC. Dermal fillers are a minimally-invasive treatment that can restore volume in a natural-appearing manner to temporarily correct wrinkles and folds.

Fillers augment the tissue to restore lost volume and contour areas of the face. Most of today’s popular injectable fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring material in your soft tissue. Acting as a hydrator, cell protector and cushioning agent, hyaluronic acid restores youthful volume in your skin. Other popular injectable fillers use ingredients that stimulate natural collagen and elastin formation, creating a long-lasting reduction of wrinkles and folds. These products are referred to as ‘biostimulators.’ The brands of fillers available at our Raleigh, NC, practice are RADIESSE®, Sculptra® Aesthetic, JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, BELOTERO BALANCE®, and Revanesse® Versa™.

What to Expect During Your Injectable Filler Treatment

An injectable filler treatment is relatively quick and comfortable. After discussing the treatment options and plan in detail with you, we will first cleanse the treatment site and apply a topical anesthetic (if necessary) to ensure your comfort. We carefully inject the filler into the wrinkle or area where you would like additional contour or volume, and then massage the area to promote a smooth result. The entire treatment can typically be finished within 30 to 45 minutes or less.
The process of injecting fillers requires a certain skill set to achieve a natural-looking result. Our highly qualified PA-C injector Amanda has extensive training and experience in administering dermal fillers in a safe and effective manner.

After Your Treatment

After treatment, you may have some swelling, tenderness or redness, which will typically subside within 2-3 days. Indirect application of cool packs (as directed) to the treatment area can help manage these effects.

How long your results last will depend on the product and the area(s) that are treated. The results of an injectable filler treatment will typically last less than a year as that is the time it takes your body to naturally break down the substance and clear it away.

Understanding the Risks of Injectable Fillers

When injectable fillers are administered by a qualified practitioner, side effects are infrequent and usually minor in nature. Nonetheless, people vary in their anatomy, their physical reactions to medications, and their healing abilities, so we will be sure to discuss this in detail with you during your consultation. Like other injections, possible side effects of fillers include redness, pain, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration.
