Are Dermal Fillers Painful?

Your skin will be numbed with a topical anesthetic prior to the administration of any dermal fillers. This ensures a pain-free, stress-free treatment journey. Additionally, many fillers are formulated with built-in lidocaine for added peace of mind.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Fillers last anywhere from six to twelve months, although some patients report lasting effects even up to two years after treatment. Depending on what you want to address, we recommend filler injections every six to eight months to maintain the desired shape and volume.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Most patients can notice immediate improvements in facial volume and vitality after dermal filler sessions in New York City. However, minor swelling and redness can linger for a few days after your session.

Can I Combine Dermal Fillers with Other Procedures?

Yes. Inside Beauty in NYC offers access to a wide array of today’s latest treatments and solutions. Based on your goals, we can create a combination treatment plan for you, discussing your options in more detail during your private consultation on the Upper East Side or in New Jersey.

What Are the Risks Associated with Dermal Fillers?

You should not do filler injections if you have a history of severe allergies or severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). There might be minor bruising at the injection sites, which might be worse if you use substances that can prolong bleeding, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners. Initial minor swelling after the procedure is normal, as hyaluronic acid absorbs water and swells. Should you notice a decline in volume in the immediate period, you might need a touch-up, which is included in the initial treatment. If you experience persistent redness or worsening pain at the injection sites, it may indicate local inflammation or infection, which can be treated with antibiotics. Remember, hyaluronic acid can be dissolved if necessary, so the effect of dermal fillers can be reversed.

Improve Facial Balance With Fillers

Most dermal fillers (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane) are composed of hyaluronic acid gel and play a key role in facial rejuvenation and enhancement. Hyaluronic acid is a natural compound that exists normally in our skin. Dermal fillers contain a higher density, so-called crosslinked hyaluronic acid, and that’s why they are so powerful in restoring volume.

Dermal fillers come in different compositions and have slightly different consistencies depending on what area you want to treat and what effect you want to achieve.

Our plastic surgeons and nurse injectors at Inside Beauty have years of experience using dermal fillers for all areas of the face. A thorough understanding of facial anatomy is crucial for achieving optimal results and minimizing potential adverse effects. With two convenient locations on the Upper East Side and in New Jersey, Inside Beauty makes it easy to experience our restorative and revitalizing treatments in the greater New York City area.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Downtime: None
Discomfort: Minimal
Treatment Time: 20-40min
Ideal For: Lips, cheeks, jawline, under-eye bags, static wrinkles, laugh lines (nasolabial folds)

Fillers are used to add volume and treat static lines. Fillers are a great way to add volume to lips, enhance lip shape, and provide a slight lift. Another popular area for fillers is the cheekbones. With age, the cheekbone undergoes loss of volume, accompanied by increased skin laxity and descent of facial tissue, which leads to worsening wrinkles and contributes to the appearance of aging. Fillers not only restore volume to the cheeks but also lift the tissue and create a rejuvenated look.

Fillers are a great way to blunt creases from smile lines around the mouth or the tear trough area. Heavy eyelid bags can be disguised to achieve a refreshed appearance. To understand how fillers can address static lines, we have to explain the difference between dynamic and static wrinkles. Dynamic lines appear when muscles of the face contract to create facial expressions. Over the years, and with repeated motion, those dynamic lines will develop into cracks in the skin, eventually leading to static lines. A good example is the horizontal lines on the forehead from years of raising eyebrows. Dynamic lines are best addressed with neuromodulators that dampen the muscle contraction and lead to a smoother appearance. Once deep static lines have formed, fillers can be used to fill in the cracks and smooth the skin contour.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Dermal Fillers?

To ensure that dermal fillers are the right fit for your goals, our team in New York City will conduct a private consultation and skin assessment with you. In general, we recommend dermal fillers for healthy patients with realistic expectations who are struggling with unwanted lines, creases, and folds. They may be noticing early signs of aging, such as volume loss in the cheeks and jawline, and desire a non-surgical solution tailored to their specific needs. Many fillers are formulated with biocompatible hyaluronic acid, which means that there is a very low risk of allergic reactions to the treatment. However, patients should be aware that dermal fillers are not recommended for pregnant or nursing women or for those with more significant skin laxity.

What’s the First Step?

Your cosmetic journey in New York City’s Upper East Side or New Jersey begins with a private consultation with our knowledgeable practitioners and board-certified plastic surgeons. We will review your medical history and conduct a thorough physical assessment, addressing all your questions and discussing your aesthetic goals in detail. During your consultation, we will also make sure that you fully understand the risks, recovery time, costs, and other details associated with your treatment. Once we have confirmed your candidacy, we will schedule your appointment date and provide you with instructions to follow prior to your session.

What to Expect on the Day of Dermal Filler Treatment

Once you decide that fillers are the right procedure for you and there are no contraindications, you will be seated on our comfortable reclining chair. We will mark out the area to be injected and any relevant anatomical landmarks. Next, we will apply a numbing cream to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Additionally, most fillers contain a small amount of numbing medication. That is also the reason why, after injection with fillers, the area will begin to feel numb for a few minutes. Once the skin has been numbed, we inject filler using a tiny cannula or needle to place the volume precisely where we want it. Once the desired look has been achieved, you are finished. No special immediate care or dressings are required.

Dermal Filler Recovery

There is no downtime, and you can immediately return home after the procedure. You may experience some discomfort at the injection sites, which should subside within the first few hours after the procedure. Avoid strenuous activity and direct heat or sun right after the procedure.

How Much Do Dermal Fillers Cost in New York City, NY?

Generally, prices for fillers in New York City vary by area, the type of filler used, and the amount needed to achieve the desired look. We charge based on the area you want to address, regardless of the amount, to ensure you get the look you want. If you are interested in a combination of different areas or you want fillers for something else, we will work out a plan that suits you.
