The Dermal Fillers Treatment Process
Consultation
You’ll sit down for a consultation with your Mission Viejo dentist to discuss your aesthetic goals and your medical history. It’s important to disclose any medications you’re taking, as well as any allergies, skin conditions, or neurological conditions you may have. Your doctor will help you decide if dermal fillers are right for you, and what type of filler will best suit your needs.
Preparation
Before performing the injections, your skin will be cleaned and sanitized, and may be numbed with a local anesthetic. Many filler products are formulated with lidocaine, another mild anesthetic, to help minimize any discomfort during treatment.
Injections & Aftercare
Your doctor will proceed to strategically inject precise amounts of filler beneath the skin. You may experience some mild bruising or swelling after the procedure, but it should subside in a few days. You can resume your daily routine immediately following your treatment. However, your doctor may suggest you avoid exercise and keep your head upright for a day or two.
Before & Afters
A smile is worth 1,000 words.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I get dermal fillers from a dentist?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
There are a number of reasons to consider going to a dentist for filler treatment. While you might assume that a plastic surgeon or dermatologist would be the most qualified, the reality is that in most offices, it is the nurses or physicians’ assistants who administer Filler injections. While these people do have medical training, a dentist spends years studying facial anatomy and spends their career injecting anesthetics in the same areas treated with dermal fillers. Many patients who receive cosmetic treatments report that injections performed by dentists are quicker and less painful than injections performed by other healthcare professionals.
What if I don’t like the results?
Like most cosmetic treatments, dermal fillers may not be right for everyone. Fortunately, many dermal fillers are completely reversible. So if you don’t like your look after your treatment, your doctor can inject enzymes that help dissolve the filler until you’re happy with your appearance.
What are dermal fillers made of?
There are a wide variety of injectable fillers approved by the FDA on the market today. Some are made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that resides in your skin already. It helps stimulate collagen production, and keeps your face plump and hydrated. Other natural fillers are made of calcium hydroxylapatite, a compound that is found in your bones. This type of filler also stimulates collagen production, and is useful in treating deeper lines and wrinkles. Synthetic fillers include those made from poly-l-lactic acid and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), which are lab-made, biocompatible substances that have both been used in medicine for decades. Poly-l-lactic acid works as a collagen stimulator, and dissolves within a few days. PMMA, on the other hand, supports the facial skin by forming a “microsphere,” or a tiny ball, that remains in place indefinitely.
How long do dermal fillers last?
The effects of injectable dermal fillers can vary, depending on the type of filler used. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring compound that already exists in your skin, which makes it easy for your body to absorb. These treatments usually last between 6 and 18 months, and are often recommended for first-time patients. Synthetic fillers, on the other hand, are not absorbed by the body, and can last much longer. Your doctor will give you specific details about what to expect from your treatment.
