August 27 2021
What Are Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers are a safe, non-surgical option to remove the lines of aging including enhancements like smoothing lines, restoring volume, plumping lips, and improving symmetry in the face. They can last for months to several years, based on the type used and the patient. The Dermal Fillers are injected by licensed physicians and nurse practitioners in the comfort of Vistoso Med Spa in Toronto. Before you decide to get Dermal Fillers, here is some information you need to know.
Before The Procedure
Before the injection procedure, there are a few things that will happen:
- You will need to let the doctor know if you are taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen; blood thinners; or other medications that could increase the likelihood of bruising. You should refrain from using these medications before the procedure.
- You may be requested to temporarily stop smoking.
- You should be hydrated.
During The Procedure
At the time of the procedure, the area will be cleaned then an anesthetic will be used to numb the skin and lessen the pain. The doctor will use a syringe to inject the Dermal Fillers to various areas to achieve the desired outcome.
After The Procedure
Following the procedure, the results will be assessed, and the markings will be removed. You may experience these effects for 7-10 days:
- Bruising and swelling that can be reduced with the help of an ice pack.
- The site of the injection may be sore, but pain medication is not typically required.
- Strenuous activity on the day of the procedure may be stopped.
- Recommend using only a small amount of makeup.
- Staying hydrated.
The aesthetician you see at Vistoso Med Spa may request to see you in a week to ensure there are no adverse side effects. The expert should also schedule follow-up appointments to make sure that the procedure is still effective and determine if more work may be needed.
