8 Questions to Ask Before Getting Dermal Fillers
Cosmetic enhancements like dermal fillers change lives. Effortless injectables boost a person’s self-esteem while erasing signs of aging. If you want to feel more confident about your cheeks, chin, and lips, ask some of these questions at your consultation appointment. You might feel more excited about fillers once you have all the answers you need.
1. How Do Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers are injections of primary ingredients like hyaluronic acid gel into chosen areas of your face. They restore volume to your areas of your faces to reduce signs of aging. Fillers could be a great confidence booster if you ever feel uncomfortable about sagging skin, loss of cheek fat, jawline structure, lip volume, etc.
2. Do Dermal Fillers Require Any Downtime?
Fillers are minimally invasive, so they don’t require downtime. You can leave your appointment and continue with your day. Some people experience minor bruising or redness around the injection sites, but you don’t need to stay at home and recover as you would after a surgical procedure.
3. How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
People enjoy the results of their dermal fillers for several months to longer than a year, depending on various factors. Your age, previous filler history, and the length between your appointments will affect your results. We’ll clarify the best filler procedure for your unique health history during your consultation appointment.
4. Where Can You Get Fillers Injected?
Revive & Bloom clients get dermal fillers in their jawline, cheeks, lips, chin, and more. The customizable placements provide tailored results. If you’d rather enhance your profile or make your lips more plump, we can target those areas to achieve the look you want.
5. Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
Yes, but it’s best to get them from a certified or licensed medical professional. Ask your potential provider if they have credentials like an R.N., P.A., N.P., or M.D. Medical experts complete robust training, so you’ll have a much better experience with your injectables.
Anyone with a health condition that makes bruising or bleeding more likely might not be a good candidate for dermal fillers. You also shouldn’t get them if you are in an autoimmune condition flare up. We’ll discuss those factors during your consultation appointment so you’re confident about booking your injections.
6. What Is Your Aftercare Advice?
Fillers are minimally invasive, so there’s very little aftercare to worry about. You may have to wait two weeks for any minor swelling to go away, which is normal. If you avoid rubbing the injection sites, skip any intense physical activity, and drink plenty of water for the first few days after your appointment, the sites should heal quickly. This will all be discussed extensively at your visit with take home reminders.
7. Do Dermal Fillers Dissolve?
Temporary and semi-permanent fillers dissolve slowly because they contain enzymes that undergo biodegradation. Permanent dermal fillers are available, but even those leave room for modification.
Clients who get dermal fillers routinely often book appointments only a 1 or 2 times per year, depending on their personal health histories. Schedule a consultation appointment to discuss what we’d recommend for you to have lasting results.
8. How Should I Sleep After Getting Fillers?
Some dermal fillers will have better results if you modify your sleep habits in the day or two after your appointment. Someone getting cheek fillers might avoid sleeping on their side that night to avoid disrupting the healing tissue. However, you don’t have to worry about extensive sleep routine changes like you would after getting a nose job or ear piercing.
