We age; it’s a natural part of life. You will see wrinkles, shadows, circles under your eyes, and so many other changes. The cause? Between sun exposure and the natural depletion of collagen, there are a whole lot of causes. Again, it’s natural. But it does not mean that you won’t feel less confident. 

It is one of the reasons why dermal fillers have become a go-to for ‘re-inflating’ tissues. They are perfect for dipping your toes into cosmetic procedures; no knives involved! But there is more to learn beyond the lack of surgery and re-inflating capabilities. In fact, here are eight things you should know: 

Dermal fillers can do more than fill thin lips.

Dermal fillers are soft tissue that professionals inject at different depths of your skin to plump, fill, and smooth out skin. So, a lot of people turn to them to get fuller lips. 

But you can use dermal fillers to remove hollows and circles under your eyes and plump up the area. Additionally, static wrinkles, folds, acne scars, and sagging skin do not stand a chance against dermal fillers.

• You will have minimal downtime.

These treatments are non-invasive, meaning minimal downtime. You can literally get your filler done and bounce back to your normal activities the same day or even after a day or two. Brunch after your appointment? Absolutely! Work meeting? No problem.

• The speed and longevity of results vary.

Wondering how soon you’ll see results? Well, it depends. Some fillers work immediately—like, look in the mirror and gasp kind of fast. Others? They take a couple of weeks to fully settle in. As for how long they last, expect months to years.

• There are some side effects.

With fillers, expect redness, bruising, or swelling, but nothing too wild. Allergic reactions are rare but possible. So, tell your injector about any allergies, especially to collagen. Better safe than sorry, every time.

• Dermal fillers are safe.

If you’re worried about safety, don’t be. Dermal fillers are approved in Canada and safe when done by the right hands. They are also approved in many other countries, including the United States and the UK. 

• You can improve your dermal filler results. 

Fillers already give you that wow factor, but you can level your glow with good skincare. Also, listen to your doctor’s advice — hydrate, protect that skin, and keep it fresh. 

• Dermal fillers are reversible.

Yep, you heard that right. If you’re not feeling your filler (it happens), clinics can remove it. For example, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can be dissolved fast with an enzyme called hyalase. So, no panic—just a quick fix.

• You need a professional to administer dermal fillers.

Dermal fillers are not DIY territory. So, always go to a medically trained, experienced injector. You will enjoy fewer risks, better results and peace of mind knowing you’re in safe hands. So skip the back-alley treatments and get it done right.
