Last Minute Holiday Treatments

With the holiday season in full swing, you may be wondering how you can look your best for special events and family gatherings. You may not have enough time for cosmetic surgery, skin rejuvenation or laser treatments, but you can still freshen up your appearance thanks to dermal fillers.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable products that help with fine lines and wrinkles, as well as add volume to your cheeks and lips. The treatments are tailored to your desires, whether you want a subtle improvement or dramatic change in your appearance, and the results look completely natural.

What are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

Treatments with dermal fillers take less than one hour, so the appointment fits easily into your busy holiday schedule. Because there is no downtime, you can have lunch or go shopping right after the treatment. Best of all, you see immediate results.

How Long Do I Need to Heal After Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers require no healing. Some patients do have minor bruising, tenderness, swelling and pinpoint bleeding at the injection sites. These symptoms last less than one week and are so mild that other people will not notice. If you have lip or cheek enhancement with dermal fillers, the area may feel tight due to the introduction of the gel formulas.

How Long Do the Results Last?

The results of dermal fillers vary, but you will enjoy the benefits well into the New Year.

• Restylane® and Juvéderm® dermal fillers last six months to one year
• Radiesse® lasts 12 to 18 months
• Sculptra® lasts two years
• Botox® lasts four to six months

You can use dermal fillers just one time or have follow-up treatments to extend the results.
