Dermal filler, an instant solution to keep you young (how much does it cost?)

Dermal filler, an instant solution for youthfulness

Dermal filler or filler injection is one solution to repair or correct certain areas that are really needed. For example, disguising wrinkles and fine lines on the face, even out texture and smoothing the skin, to remove scars.

Generally doctors take 30 minutes to complete this procedure. The results of the injections usually last about six months to a year.

What is the procedure like?

The procedure is done by injecting fluids such as hyaluronic acid or collagen, as well as synthetic substances such as silicone into the parts of the face that are considered problematic. For example the cheeks, nose, lips, chin, area around the eyes, jaw, and others.

By injecting this liquid, the facial area becomes fuller so that wrinkles that occur due to aging become less visible.

Different areas of the face require different types of fillers. This is because each type of filler contains different functions and ingredients with different levels of durability. Consult your esthetician first before doing this procedure.

However, before starting to inject, the doctor will usually first sterilize the area of the skin and continue with local anesthesia (can be topical or injection).

Dermal fillers are safe and durable when done by experts

Dermal fillers are safe to do if done by a skin specialist (dermatologist), cosmetic surgeon, or aesthetic therapist who is competent and has a certificate of expertise in this beauty procedure.

Is everyone allowed to do dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers can be used by anyone over 18 years of age. This cosmetic procedure is performed according to indications, what is needed, what is needed, and what is desired, so it is always best to consult your doctor first.

Someone is not allowed or advised to do filler, if:

Have an active infection in the area of the skin to be injected.
Has an allergy or hypersensitivity reaction to filler material.
Have an allergy to local anesthetic drugs.

What should be done before and after doing a dermal filler?

Before you decide to do filler injections, always consult your doctor first. This is done to avoid side effects or risks that may occur.

After the procedure is complete, the doctor will apply an antibiotic ointment to be applied to the area where the filler injection was used. If needed, usually doctors will also provide pain medication.

In addition, your doctor will recommend that you do not touch, squeeze, or dress the area that was recently injected. This is done to avoid the occurrence of migration or displacement of the injected filler.

Are there any possible side effects?

As with other medical procedures, filler injections also allow side effects to appear. Side effects can appear soon after the procedure is finished or only appear for a while.

Immediate side effects:

At the injection site: swelling, redness, bruising, pain, itching, and infection
Allergic or hypersensitivity reactions: inflammation, solid nodules
The bumps caused by the fillers do not spread evenly
Network death
Embolism in blood vessels

Other side effects, which last longer:

Lumps in the form of nodules
Filler removal.
Scarring.
Asymmetrical face

Therefore, it is important not to do this beauty procedure carelessly. Choose a health facility that is legal, trusted, and has competent and professional doctors to reduce the risk of side effects.
