According to Dr. Jonathan Nevin Yu, a board-certified dermatologist and aesthetic treatment expert at JY Dermatology and Aesthetic Center, modern dermal fillers deliver natural-looking results. However, to achieve the best outcomes, there are a few critical factors one must consider.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Dermal fillers, as their name suggests, fill the space under the skin with a gel-like substance, smoothing out wrinkled areas and restoring volume.<\/p>\n
Among the most popular dermal fillers used are Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers and Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers, known for their adaptability and versatility in addressing various aesthetic concerns.<\/p>\n
According to Dr. Yu, the most common treatment area has been the region around the eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
As a first-time patient, you may have many questions and apprehensions.<\/p>\n
Dr. Yu’s advice is to come in for the first session without any makeup to allow the dermatologist to make a comprehensive examination of your skin.<\/p>\n
The initial consultation is crucial as it enables the professional to understand your needs and expectations, subsequently guiding you towards treatments that best align with your goals.<\/p>\n
So, go in with an open mind and be ready to ask questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The downtime associated with dermal fillers is generally minimal. While some patients might experience mild bruising, particularly in sensitive areas like the lips and chin, this usually dissipates quickly.<\/p>\n
As for how long the effects of dermal fillers last, it depends on the type of filler and the treatment area. CaHA fillers can last up to 18-24 months, while lip treatments with HA fillers typically last around 8-10 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Once you’ve had fillers, you might be keen on exploring other treatments.<\/p>\n
Depending on your recovery process, you could resume other treatments such as facials and laser therapy as soon as two weeks post-filler injections.<\/p>\n
Combination treatments, according to Dr. Yu, can enhance the overall results.<\/p>\n
A treatment regimen could start with a procedure like micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) to tighten the skin, followed by dermal fillers in areas needing volume, and then botulinum toxin to address dynamic lines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
