Injectable Dermal Fillers in Garden Grove, CA

Injectable dermal fillers are a type of cosmetic treatment that can enhance your facial features, smooth out your wrinkles, and replenish your skin’s volume and radiance. They are made from substances that are compatible with your body, such as hyaluronic acid, which is a natural component of your skin that helps to hydrate and plump it. Dermal fillers are injected beneath the skin’s surface to improve the appearance of aging signs, such as sagging, creasing, or hollowing, providing a more youthful and refreshed look.

Dermal fillers are used to address various aesthetic concerns and goals, such as:

• Restoring volume and fullness to the face, especially in areas that tend to lose fat and collagen over time, such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye areas.

• Reducing wrinkles and fine lines, such as the nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the nose to the mouth), the marionette lines (the lines that run from the mouth to the chin), the forehead lines, and the crow’s feet (the lines around the eyes).

• Enhancing facial contours, such as the cheekbones, the chin, the jawline, and the nose.

• Adding volume and definition to the lips, creating a fuller and more symmetrical pout.

• Juvederm: This is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that is commonly used to add volume to the lips and cheeks. It can give you a fuller and smoother pout or a higher and rounder cheekbone. Juvederm comes in different formulations, such as Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Juvederm Voluma, Juvederm Volbella, and Juvederm Vollure, each designed for a specific area or purpose. Juvederm can last from six months to two years, depending on the type and amount of filler used.

• Restylane: This is another hyaluronic acid-based filler that can be used to treat wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss in various areas of the face. It can smooth out the nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the nose to the mouth), the marionette lines (the lines that run from the mouth to the chin), the forehead lines, and the crow’s feet (the lines around the eyes). It can also lift the eyebrows, contour the nose, and define the jawline. Restylane also has different formulations, such as Restylane Silk, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne, and Restylane Kysse, each tailored for a specific area or effect. Restylane can last from six months to 18 months, depending on the type and amount of filler used.

Dermal fillers are administered by qualified and experienced injectors who are board-certified in dermatology or plastic surgery. The procedure involves:

• A consultation with your injector to discuss your goals, expectations, medical history, and budget. Your injector will examine your face and recommend the most suitable filler for you.

• A pre-procedure preparation that may include avoiding blood thinners, alcohol, smoking, and sun exposure for a few days before the procedure.

• A numbing cream or injection that may be applied to the treatment area to reduce any discomfort.

• A marking of the injection sites on your face and a cleansing of the area with an antiseptic solution.

• A fine needle or a cannula (a thin tube) is used to inject the filler into the targeted areas. The amount and depth of the filler will depend on the desired effect and the filler’s properties. Your injector may also massage the area to distribute the filler evenly and avoid any lumps or irregularities.

• A Post-procedure care that may include applying ice packs, avoiding pressure or rubbing on the treated areas, and refraining from strenuous activities or extreme temperatures for a few days after the procedure. You may also receive some medications or creams to prevent infection or inflammation.

The results of dermal fillers are visible immediately after the procedure, but they may take a few days or weeks to settle and improve. The duration of the results will depend on the type and amount of filler used, as well as your metabolism and lifestyle. Generally, dermal fillers can last from six months to two years or longer. You may need touch-up injections to maintain or enhance your results.

The cost of dermal fillers varies depending on the type and amount of filler used, the area of treatment, and the injector’s expertise and location. Generally, dermal fillers can range from $450 to $1,200 per syringe or treatment. You may need more than one syringe or treatment to achieve your desired results. You should consult with your injector to get an accurate estimate of the cost of your procedure.

Dermal fillers are considered a cosmetic procedure and are not covered by most insurance plans. However, some insurance plans may cover dermal fillers if they are used for medical purposes, such as correcting facial deformities caused by injury, disease, or birth defects. You should check with your insurance provider to see if you are eligible for any coverage or reimbursement for your procedure.

Dermal fillers are not for everyone. You should consult with your injector to determine if you are a good candidate for dermal fillers and which type of filler is best for you. Some factors that may affect your suitability for dermal fillers are:

• Your age: Dermal fillers are generally recommended for people who are 18 years or older.

• Your skin type: Dermal fillers work best on skin that is not too thin or too thick.

• Your health condition: Dermal fillers are not recommended for people who have active skin infections, bleeding disorders, allergies to any ingredients in the filler, autoimmune diseases, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or certain medications that may interfere with the filler’s effect.

• Your expectations: Dermal fillers can provide a natural-looking and subtle improvement to your facial appearance, but they cannot change your facial structure drastically or reverse all signs of aging. You should have realistic expectations about what dermal fillers can and cannot do for you.
