What should I expect during a dermal filler treatment?
Your dermal filler treatment will begin with a consultation. Your nurse injector will carefully examine your skin and talk with you in detail about your lifestyle and skin concerns. This consultation will allow them to recommend the best products to address your needs.
On the day of your treatment, your nurse injector will gently cleanse your face and mark the places they intend to make the injections. The injections aren’t painful, but if you have sensitive skin or are uncomfortable with needles, they can apply a topical numbing agent to ensure your comfort.
Your nurse injector will use a blunt tip cannula when appropriate. Blunt tip cannulas are thin flexible needles that can reduce discomfort and bruising.
Your nurse injector will begin making your injections, stopping from time to time to examine their work and massage the filler into place. Your treatment will take 30-40 minutes, and you won’t need to take any time out of your day to recover, although you should avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours after your appointment.
