Dermal Fillers

Introduction

Introduction to Dermal Fillers

As many of us can attest, time, sunlight, and other environmental factors cause our skin to lose volume, eventually leading to the appearance of lines and wrinkles. At the Carney Center in Virginia Beach, we offer a comprehensive range of injectable fillers to help smooth lines, enhance facial features, and achieve a more youthful appearance. Contact us to schedule an appointment to discuss which one is right for you, and don’t forget to ask about manufacturer rewards programs as well!

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are products containing hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body. When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid provides support and volume, filling out soft lines and wrinkles to create a smooth appearance.

  • The first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable wrinkle filler for the correction of smile lines. Immediate, visible results with no downtime; a simple in-office procedure; excellent safety profile; results improve over the course of several months and stand the test of time; usually requires only one or two treatments. Skin testing is required 30 days before treatment.

  • Want young-looking, wrinkle-free skin? Try Radiesse, an injectable treatment that helps reduce the appearance of well-defined wrinkles and creases, while stimulating the production of your own natural collagen. Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite, this filler lasts approximately one to two years and provides immediate results.

  • These are all safe injectable treatments that add volume lost during the aging process by temporarily smoothing out facial lines and wrinkles. Each treatment utilizes a non-animal, clear gel containing a purified form of hyaluronic acid, a natural sugar found in all living cells. It is injected just under the skin’s surface and lasts six to twelve months, depending on the area treated.

  • Sculptra provides a noticeable, natural-looking appearance that emerges subtly and can last up to 2 years. Often referred to as a liquid facelift, Sculptra stimulates collagen, restores volume, and refines lines.

To learn more about which dermal filler may be right for your aesthetic goals, please schedule a consultation at The Carney Center in Virginia Beach. Your licensed medical aesthetician will review your medical history, evaluate the areas of your face you would like to target with dermal fillers, and make recommendations as to which dermal filler or combination of dermal fillers would help you address your specific concerns.

What to Expect on the Day of a Dermal Filler Injection

When you are ready to receive your dermal filler injections, your licensed medical aesthetician will review the approach to targeting the treatment areas discussed during your consultation, then carefully inject the dermal filler. This will be a gradual process of injecting and massaging the filler to ensure it settles correctly and in the appropriate areas. This procedure may take up to an hour, depending on the type of filler and the extent of the treatment area.

Dermal Filler Recovery

Dermal fillers require minimal recovery time, and most patients can return home on the same day. Some patients may experience temporary swelling or redness, which typically resolves within a few hours or days after receiving the injections. If you experience any discomfort, please apply an ice pack or use over-the-counter medication, such as ibuprofen, to help alleviate the symptoms.
