What is Getting Dermal Fillers Like?
Before your procedure, Dr. Mang will meet with you to better understand your cosmetic concerns and goals, and help you decide which product will get you the best results. At the time of your procedure, Dr. Mang will administer numbing cream as an anesthetic to minimize the discomfort of the injections. Dr. Mang will use his experience to determine the amount of filler needed and will continuously and gently inject it through a small needle until he's reached your desired result.
What Can I Expect After Dermal Filler Injections?
Dermal fillers are done as an in-office procedure in a very short amount of time. Because of the anesthetic, the process is usually pretty tolerable and requires little to no downtime after your appointment. You should expect bruising and swelling, but these symptoms should fade quickly. You can expect your results to last from three months to a year, depending on the type of filler used and the area of injection. Touch-ups may be needed periodically to optimize results; Dr. Mang will discuss that with you to ensure your aesthetic goals continue to be met.
