Dermal Filler FAQ

What are dermal fillers and how do they work

Dermal fillers are non surgical injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Most are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in skin that maintains hydration and plumpness. When injected, HA fillers attract water, instantly adding volume and giving skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.

How long do dermal fillers last

Results last between 6 to 18 months depending on the product, your metabolism, and the area treated. Areas with frequent movement like lips may need touch ups around 6 to 9 months. Cheeks can maintain results for up to 18 months.

When will I see results

You will notice immediate improvement right after treatment. However, fillers need time to fully integrate with your skin tissue. Within 2 weeks, the filler will fully settle and any initial swelling will subside, revealing your final results.

Do dermal fillers hurt

Most fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that numbs the area during injection. You may feel mild pinching or pressure, but discomfort is minimal. A numbing cream can be applied beforehand if you are sensitive to pain.

Are there any side effects

Common temporary side effects include mild redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days. Serious complications are extremely rare when performed by trained medical professionals like Dr. Akbari.

How long is the recovery time

Minimal recovery time. You can typically return to daily activities right after treatment. Avoid intense exercise, heat exposure, or alcohol for 24 to 48 hours to reduce swelling or bruising. Final results visible within two weeks.

Can I combine fillers with other treatments

Yes. Fillers work well with Botox or laser skin resurfacing for comprehensive anti aging. Fillers restore volume and contour while Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles. Combining treatments leads to a more balanced, rejuvenated appearance.

What should I avoid after treatment

Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent filler migration. Skip strenuous activities, excessive heat, and alcohol for the first 24 to 48 hours. Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling.

How do I know which filler is right for me

During your consultation, Dr. Akbari will assess your facial structure, skin condition, and goals to recommend the best filler. Softer fillers are ideal for lips or fine lines. Thicker fillers are used for deeper wrinkles or contouring like cheeks or jawline.

Can dermal fillers be reversed

Yes. Hyaluronic acid based fillers are completely reversible. If you are not satisfied, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the filler safely and efficiently. This makes HA fillers both adjustable and temporary.

Will I look overdone or unnatural

Not at Monarch MD. Dr. Akbari specializes in natural, subtle results that enhance your unique features without looking exaggerated. Our goal is refinement, not transformation. You will look refreshed and rejuvenated with results that are noticeable yet understated.

Can men get dermal fillers

Yes. Fillers are increasingly popular among men seeking to maintain or enhance facial features. Common treatment areas for men include the jawline, cheeks, and under eye hollows. Each treatment is tailored to ensure masculine, natural results.
