About Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are used to “re-volumize” areas of the face that have lost their volume. The goal of injectable dermal fillers is never to morph your face into something it was never meant to be. Instead they are used to enhance your natural beauty and to recreate fullness in areas that have gone “flat” or thinned or lost their definition with age.
Why Dermal Fillers?
- Injectable treatments are quick, relatively painless, and safe when done by a licensed practitioner. They’re nonsurgical and noninvasive, so they require minimal downtime.
- Hyaluronic acid fillers are nearly identical to what’s produced in our bodies, so it dissolves more naturally over time than other ingredients.
- Hyaluronic acid fillers can be easily reversed with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down HA, if you don’t like your results.
- Dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years depending upon a variety of factors.
- Dermal fillers are considered safe, but side effects can occur. Such side effects include redness at the injection site, allergic reaction (especially with collagen), granulomas (hard lumps under the skin), bumps, bruising, or asymmetry. Side effects are rare.

What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid, or HA, is a natural substance in the body that delivers volume to the skin. Spoiler alert—the name is somewhat of a misnomer, because hyaluronic acid actually isn’t an acid at all. It’s a complex sugar, a polysaccharide molecule that’s naturally found in both our skin and other connective tissue in the body. Naturally occurring hyaluronic acid decreases both with age and due to exposure to UV rays and environmental pollution.
What are the different types of dermal fillers and what do they do?

What to expect from a Dermal Filler appointment:
During your first visit, FNP-C April or RN Lyndy will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you. Your specialist may numb the area with a topical emulsion prior to injections. Because most fillers contain Lidocaine, a numbing agent, most patients report little discomfort. You will have minimal downtime, but it is very common to see mild bruising and swelling at the injection site after your treatment. Avoid sun, heat, workouts, and alcohol for 24 hours; these side effects should clear up within a few days.
Avoid alcohol, aspirin, some supplements (high-dose vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, and garlic) or other blood-thinning medications for a week or two prior to your appointment, to minimize bruising. Alora Wellness & Spa recommends arnica gel or cream, to reduce pain and swelling.
You’ll see more fullness or smoother skin immediately or within a couple of days, but it can take up to two weeks for the swelling to fully subside.
