Dermal Fillers in Fairfax, VA
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate and enhance facial aesthetics. These fillers add volume and plumpness to the skin by utilizing biocompatible substances like hyaluronic acid, reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and hollows. Areas commonly treated include the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and even the back of the hands. While Botox primarily targets muscle-related wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles, dermal fillers focus on restoring lost volume and hydration. Ideal for individuals seeking a more youthful and refreshed appearance without undergoing invasive surgeries, the results of dermal fillers are often visible immediately post-treatment.
Depending on the type of filler used and the area treated, these results can last anywhere from six months to two years. Ready to turn back the clock on aging? Book your appointment at Gentle Wellness Center in Fairfax, VA, today.

FAQs
Most adults seeking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and facial hollows are good candidates for dermal fillers. However, a consultation with a professional at Gentle Wellness Center will determine individual suitability.
Typically, results are visible within a few days of treatment, with full effects appearing after a few more days.
Depending on the type of filler and the treated area, results can last from six months up to two years.
Dermal fillers have minimal downtime, with redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site being some of the most common side effects.
Before your treatment, abstain from alcohol, aspirin, and NSAIDs for 48 hours to minimize bleeding and bruising risks. Arrive makeup-free on the day of your appointment. Taking Arnica Montana Pills 2-3 days prior can also help reduce swelling and bruising.
After the procedure, avoid exercise, sun exposure, and alcohol for 24 hours to prevent redness and swelling. If these symptoms persist beyond a few days, contact your provider. Bruising, lasting 3-7 days, can be concealed with makeup. For two weeks, avoid facials and aggressive treatments in the treated area.
The treatment involves injecting the chosen filler into targeted areas using fine needles. The process is relatively quick, and discomfort is minimized with the use of topical anesthetics.
