Dermal Fillers Q&A

​

What are injectable dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that an expert injects under your skin to soften lines, wrinkles, and creases, increase volume, and add contour to the face. More than a million people have chosen this minimally invasive procedure to enhance their appearance.

 

The age-related changes that happen to your face appear because of:

• Genetics

• Stress

• Disease

• Smoking

• Weight fluctuations

• Sun and other environmental exposure

​

When you get dermal fillers at IV Hydration Lounge and Med Spa, there are plenty of changes you can make.

Dermal fillers can:

• Plump or reshape the lips

• Smooth wrinkles and creases

• Remove or decrease a lower lid shadow

• Diminish recessed scars

• Enhance facial contours

Making alterations like these lends to a more youthful overall look.

 

How do different types of dermal fillers work?

Different kinds of products are available, and they are each used for a specific purpose. The team at IV Hydration Lounge and Med Spa recommends specific fillers based on your goals and targeted areas.  

 

Certain fillers provide longer term results because they stimulate collagen production, which in turn helps eliminate lines on the face. Other fillers have soft gel containing hyaluronic acid, which adds a soft boost in volume without collagen reinforcement.    

 

During your initial visit, you have the opportunity to bring up your concerns. The IV Hydration Lounge and Med Spa team helps identify the product that can work best to meet your unique needs.

What can I expect after treatment with dermal fillers?

Most people notice a difference right away after receiving dermal fillers. You might experience a few days with bruising and swelling after the treatment, but it doesn’t take long for them to diminish. You’ll be able to resume your daily activities immediately, but the team encourages you to hold off on strenuous exercise for several days.  

 

Most dermal fillers last between six and 18 months. Results from filler injections administered to the lips tend to diminish a little faster than those given around the nose, while treatments to the cheeks may last a bit longer.  

 

The team at IV Hydration Lounge and Med Spa carefully plans your treatment with dermal fillers. Call the office in Thomaston, Connecticut, or schedule an appointment online today. You won’t regret it.
