Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers can help you look and feel your best by reducing fine lines, filling out thinning lips, and increasing facial volume. They can give you a softer, more youthful look, which can increase your confidence. 

Yet a great deal of misunderstanding and misinformation surrounds dermal fillers as well. Here are some of the most common questions we receive. 

What do dermal fillers do? 

Dermal fillers mimic your body's natural fluids. They plump your skin with water, cosmetic gels, and hyaluronic acid in order to revitalize it and add volume to it. They shouldn't be confused with Botox or Daxxify. Both products are injectables, but the method they use to eliminate fine lines is completely different.

Dermal fillers mimic your body's natural substances, whereas Botox or Daxxify work by using mild toxins to relax the muscles in your face and freeze them to smooth out your wrinkles. While the cosmetic results can be similar, the two procedures are also used to treat different areas of your face. 

Dermal Fillers at Allure

Here at Allure, we use The RHA® Collection, which has won the "Most Innovative Filler" award. RHA® has been formulated to offer one of the closest resemblances to natural hyaluronic acid (HA) on the market today. This means it provides some of the most natural-looking results.

RHA® is also customizable for a wide range of patient types and can be used to correct specific issues such as radial cheek lines, marionette lines, or severe dynamic folds. 

How long do dermal fillers last?

RHA® dermal fillers are expected to last up to 15 months at a time. This has been clinically proven, and our clients see consistent results in this area. Some of them even see results for as long as 22 months, depending on the area treated.

The long lifespan of RHA® dermal fillers makes them a sustainable option for regular skin care services. 

How painful are dermal fillers? 

We know. The idea of someone coming at your face with a needle can be pretty daunting. Yet, in reality, clients don't experience much discomfort when they receive dermal fillers. 

You see, we take steps to ensure your comfort. Before treatment, we apply topical numbing cream to the areas where you're expected to receive your injections. Thus, you're unlikely even to feel the little "pinch" you're told to expect when taking a shot at the doctor's office. You're unlikely to feel much of anything! Many of our clients lay back, close their eyes, and relax through the whole thing. 

How much do dermal fillers cost?

Costs can vary depending on the problems you are trying to correct. Most people need to budget $800 to $1000 for their injections. Fortunately, you'll see results right away and can expect those results to last for months.

If the price seems a little steep, remember that you can always enjoy financing with Cherry.
