Are Dermal Fillers Painful?

While the procedure of injecting Fillers is generally not painful, some patients may experience slight discomfort or a sensation beneath the skin. Overall, Dermal Fillers are a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance, and any minor pain involved will vanish after treatment.

How many appointments will I need?

Most Dermal Fillers last a long time (between 6 months to 18 months), and you will not need any additional appointments from Dr. Lissa until your body begins to naturally break down the filler and you wish to maintain the appearance. It should be noted the number of appointments you will require will vary depending on which dermal fillers you receive and what Dr. Lissa believes is the best course of action.

How long until I see results?

While some of our patients may experience minor swelling or bruising after receiving Dermal Fillers, most will see immediate results. Once these swelling effects subside, you’ll be able to enjoy your Dermal Filler results.

Can I combine Dermal Fillers with other procedures?

Absolutely! Several of our clients who receive dermal fillers in Atlanta look to complement their treatment with a Chemical Peel or BOTOX, allowing them to further enhance their natural beauty. Ask Dr. Lissa about the combination of treatments so she and the team can set you up for success.

What are the risks associated with Dermal Fillers?

It is uncommon for severe symptoms or risks to occur from receiving Dermal Fillers. Risks vary depending on which type of filler is being used. However, if a patient does experience side effects, they may include the following: Acne-like skin eruptions Asymmetry Bleeding from the injection site Bruising Damage to the skin that results in a wound and possible scarring Infection at the injection site Lumps The palpability of the filler under the surface of the skin Skin necrosis (ulceration or loss of skin from disruption of blood flow) Skin rash with itching Skin redness Swelling Under- or over-correction of wrinkles

What are Dermal Fillers?

Whats the First Step?

We will then provide you with a comprehensive overview of the different Dermal Filler techniques available and work with you to determine which one is best suited for you.

What to Expect on the Day of Dermal Fillers?

On the day of your procedure, we welcome you with excitement and eagerness to start because we know how good it feels to receive a treatment that upgrades your life. To begin, Dr. Lissa will clean your injection site and use an antibacterial agent to ensure your treatment is safe and sterile. Pain is minimal, and we may use a cold instrument and anesthetic ointment to numb the treated area, making the injections easily manageable. During the procedure itself, Dr. Lissa will take her time to ensure that each treated area is injected, massaged, and evaluated thoroughly. If needed, an additional filler may be used to achieve your desired results. Depending on your personalized treatment plan, the process can range from 15 to 60 minutes.

Dermal Fillers Recovery

Recovery times for our patients may vary depending on the type of filler Dr. Lissa uses and where it’s used. After your injection, you should be able to resume most of your normal activities right away. However, we recommend avoiding intense physical activity for the first 24-48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising. Any tenderness or swelling can be alleviated with ice and gentle massage. A proper aftercare plan will be provided by Dr. Lissa and her team for optimal results.

How Much Do Dermal Fillers Cost in Atlanta?

The cost of Dermal Fillers in the state of Georgia can vary based on several factors, such as the technique used, the amount of filler, and the treatment location.
