Fillers are substances that are injected into the skin to fill in wrinkles, add volume, or enhance the shape of certain facial features. Fillers can be made of different materials, such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid. Fillers can be used to improve the appearance of the lips, cheeks, chin, nose, forehead, or under the eyes.
The Fillers procedure is usually done in a clinic or a spa by a trained technician or a doctor. The procedure involves using a fine needle or a cannula to inject the filler into the desired area. The procedure may take from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the type and amount of filler used. The procedure may cause some discomfort, such as a stinging or pressure sensation, but most people tolerate it well. Some people may use a topical numbing cream or ice to reduce the sensation.
There is no downtime after a Fillers procedure, and you can resume your normal activities right away. However, you should avoid any strenuous activities and follow the doctor's instructions for wound care and medication. You may experience some mild side effects, such as swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site, but these usually subside within a few days or weeks. You should contact your doctor if you have any signs of infection, allergic reaction, or serious complications.
You may be a good candidate for Fillers if you want to improve the appearance of your skin and address issues such as aging, sagging, scarring, or loss of volume. You should also be in good health, have realistic expectations, and understand the risks and benefits of the procedure. However, fillers may not be suitable for everyone. You should not get fillers if you have any of the following conditions or situations:
At Ciplastic, the starting cost for a Fillers procedure is $450 usd per 1cc. Your final cost will depend on your specific individual needs.
The effects of fillers are not permanent and may vary from person to person. Most people notice an improvement in their skin appearance after the first session, and the results may last for several months or years. However, the results may fade over time, as the skin changes due to aging, lifestyle, or other factors. To maintain the results, you should follow a healthy lifestyle, drink plenty of water, and get regular fillers treatments.
Fillers are generally safe and effective when performed by a qualified and experienced provider. However, like any medical procedure, they carry some risks and potential complications. These include:
Pain, swelling, bruising, or infection at the injection site.
Scarring, dimpling, or asymmetry of the skin.
Nerve damage, facial weakness, or numbness.
Allergic reaction to the products or the device used in the procedure.
Rarely, filler migration, granuloma formation, or vascular occlusion.
