What are facial fillers?
Facial fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They work by filling in areas where volume has been lost, such as the cheeks, under the eyes, or around the mouth. The fillers are typically made of substances like hyaluronic acid, which attracts water to the skin, providing a plumper, smoother appearance.
How long do the effects of facial fillers last?
The effects of facial fillers typically last between 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers tend to last around 6-12 months, while other types may provide longer-lasting results. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects.
Are Facial Fillers Safe?
Facial fillers are generally safe when administered by a trained professional.
What Are The Potential Side Effects Of Facial Fillers?
Potential side effects include mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site, which usually subsides within a few days. Rarely, more serious complications like infection or allergic reactions can occur, but these are uncommon with proper care.
What is the difference between Dermal Fillers and Botox?
Dermal fillers add volume to areas of the face, such as the cheeks or lips, and smooth out wrinkles by filling in lost volume. Botox, on the other hand, works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles, especially in areas like the forehead and around the eyes. Fillers and Botox can be used together for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

How often will I need touch-ups or maintenance for my fillers?
The frequency of touch-ups depends on the type of filler used and how your body responds to it. Most people need touch-ups every 6 to 12 months to maintain their desired look. Regular maintenance helps preserve the effects and ensures your appearance stays fresh and youthful.

Choosing the right filler depends on your specific concerns and the area being treated. A consultation with a professional at Enhance Dental Center will help determine the best filler based on your goals, skin type, and the depth of wrinkles or volume loss you’re experiencing.
