When filler is injected into the skin, it smooths out fine lines and wrinkles and plumps out areas which have lost volume. Essentially, dermal fillers work in place of diminished fat, collagen and elastin.
Hyaluronic acid the most common filler substance makes a great injectable as it attracts and holds onto lots of water β this water then helps create the plumping effect underneath the skin. The treatment time will depend on the area being injected and how much filler is needed.
Generally, dermal filler treatments are quick taking less than 15 minutes. For more intensive filler treatments, like liquid facelifts, the procedure can take 30 minutes to 1 hour. If a numbing cream is used, you will have to wait roughly 20 minutes for it to kick in before the treatment begins. There is no downtime following a filler treatment, so you will be able to resume your plans as usual.
Any side effects that you encounter should clear up within a few days of your treatment. But you might want to clear up your calendar of important events until say signs of redness, swelling and bruising have disappeared. When hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are used, results typically last months. Their exact longevity will vary from person to person as it depends on how quickly each individual metabolises the filler.
