At Alessi Medical Spa, we provide a variety of FDA-approved fillers for White Plains, NY, patients. Fillers are a simple, safe, and reliable cosmetic option to address numerous aging signs.
Dermal fillers are injected under the skin to reduce moderate to harsh aging signs such as wrinkles, lines, creases, folds, and sagging. Injectables are also used to enhance the lips, restore volume to hollow areas, and fill in superficial scars. They give the face a toned appearance and restore a more youthful look.
Fillers are non-surgical and minimally invasive. They are more affordable and less invasive than other cosmetic options such as facelifts.
Benefits of Fillers
Injectables address a wide range of skin issues, including:
- Parentheses lines
- Marionette lines
- The nasolabial folds (same as parentheses)
- Perioral lip lines
- Aging signs underneath the eyes
- Liquid Rhinoplasty
- Lost volume in areas like the temples, jawline, cheeks, lips, and backs of the hands
- Superficial scars and acne scars
The injection procedure is easy and fast, and the chance of complications is quite low.
Types of Fillers
There are several types of injectables available, including the following:
- Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers: Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in your body, where it bonds with water molecules to create volume. HA fillers have a variety of uses, and there are many that are designed for very specific uses. They can provide wrinkle reduction, lip augmentation, and volume restoration.
- Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers: These are aqueous gels containing CaHA microspheres. The microspheres create structure in the tissues, and new collagen forms between them for lasting volume. Hydroxylapatite fillers address moderate to harsh lines and volume loss.
- Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) fillers: Rather than true fillers, these are often known as collagen stimulators. They increase production of collagen, a protein that gives structure to your bones, skin, muscles, and other connective tissues. Because of this, they create gradual results that look very natural and are long-lasting.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Dermal Fillers?
Everybody is not a suitable candidate for injectables. First and foremost, you must have realistic expectations regarding the results.
You are an ideal candidate if:
- You do not have any allergies to dermal fillers.
- You do not have a history of severe reactions to fillers.
- You have not had any cosmetic procedures done on your face, neck, or hands recently.
- You are not pregnant, planning to be pregnant, or breastfeeding.
- You do not have any active skin infections in the treatment areas.
Your Consultation
If you are considering fillers, then set up a consultation with one of our skincare professionals. Talk to them about the areas you want to be treated and the results you expect. They will help you develop realistic expectations.
The two of you will go over your medical history, including any allergies, and an examination will be performed. They will then recommend the best filler option for you.
How Are Dermal Fillers Administered?
Fillers are introduced into the skin using tiny injections. They usually reach the skin’s sub-dermal and dermal layers. The quantity of filler used depends on the location and dimensions of the skin condition, such as the depth and size of a wrinkle or hollow region.
Fillers often contain a local anesthetic. This numbs the region, making the procedure more comfortable.
After Your Treatment Session
Unlike surgical procedures, fillers do not necessitate downtime or recovery time. Patients can often come in during their lunch break and then go right back to work.
A small degree of swelling, bruising, and/or redness may be present at the sites of injection for a short time but will fade. Various minor aftercare steps may be recommended depending on the chosen filler.
Injectable fillers deliver immediate results. Results can last from six months to two years or longer.
How Much Do Fillers Cost?
The price of a filler treatment will depend on a number of factors. The cost of the treatment is based on the exact filler chosen, the amount of filler used, and the number of treatment sessions needed.
