FAQs
How do hyaluronic dermal fillers work?
Hyaluronic dermal fillers at Monika Advanced Aesthetics use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin, to add volume and hydration. The filler is injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features, giving you a refreshed and youthful appearance.
When will I see the results?
The results from hyaluronic dermal fillers are visible immediately. Although there might be slight swelling or redness right after the treatment, you will notice the final result within a few days as any swelling subsides.
How long do the results last?
Hyaluronic dermal fillers typically last from 6 months to 18 months, depending on factors such as the area treated, the type of filler used, and individual factors like metabolism. Regular maintenance sessions can help you maintain the results.
Is the procedure painful?
Most clients describe the sensation during the treatment as mild discomfort. To reduce any pain, Monika Advanced Aesthetics uses very fine needles, and many of our hyaluronic acid fillers already contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, for your comfort. We can also apply a topical numbing cream before the treatment if needed.
How soon can I return to my normal activities?
There is minimal downtime after hyaluronic dermal filler treatments at Monika Advanced Aesthetics. Most people can resume normal activities immediately. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours to optimise the results.
Who is a good candidate for hyaluronic dermal fillers?
Hyaluronic dermal fillers are suitable for those looking to restore volume, reduce wrinkles, or enhance facial features such as lips, cheeks, or jawline. Monika Advanced Aesthetics recommends a consultation to assess your skin and discuss your goals, ensuring the treatment is right for you.
What happens if I stop having treatments?
If you stop receiving hyaluronic dermal filler treatments, the effects will gradually fade as your body absorbs the hyaluronic acid. Your skin will return to its natural state, and any wrinkles or volume loss that was treated will reappear, but no long-term damage will occur.
Will I look unnatural after the treatment?
At Monika Advanced Aesthetics, our goal is to enhance your features with natural-looking results. We focus on achieving balanced, subtle improvements, so you will still look like yourself—only more refreshed and rejuvenated.
How many sessions do I need?
For most people, only one session is needed to see visible results from hyaluronic dermal fillers. However, depending on the areas treated and the desired outcome, we may recommend additional treatments or follow-up sessions to maintain or enhance the results.
What happens if I don’t like the results or want the filler dissolved?
If you’re unhappy with the results or want to reverse the effects of hyaluronic dermal fillers, the filler can be safely dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme breaks down the hyaluronic acid in the filler, allowing the area to return to its natural appearance. Monika Advanced Aesthetics can provide this treatment for you if needed, ensuring you achieve the results you’re happy with.
Aftercare
After receiving dermal fillers, it is important to follow certain aftercare instructions to minimize the risk of complications and to ensure the best possible results. Here are some general aftercare tips to keep in mind:
- Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure. This can increase the risk of infection and may cause the filler to move or become displaced.
- Avoid applying makeup to the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
- Avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may increase blood flow to the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
- Avoid drinking alcohol or taking blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin or ibuprofen) for at least 24 hours after the procedure, as these can increase the risk of bleeding or bruising.
- Apply ice to the treated area to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- If you experience any pain or discomfort after the procedure, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen.
- Follow up with your healthcare provider as recommended to ensure that the results are as expected and to address any concerns or issues that may arise.
It is important to remember that each individual may have unique aftercare needs based on their specific procedure and the area treated. We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions based on your individual needs and circumstances. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best possible outcome.
Side effects
Like any medical procedure, dermal fillers can have side effects. While these side effects are usually mild and temporary, it is important to be aware of them before undergoing the procedure.
Common side effects of dermal fillers include:
- Bruising: It is common to experience some bruising at the injection site, which can last for several days.
- Swelling: Mild swelling is also common after the procedure and usually resolves within a few days.
- Redness: The injection site may be red and tender for a few days after the procedure.
- Itching: Itching or a tingling sensation at the injection site is also common.
- Lumps or bumps: Occasionally, dermal fillers can cause lumps or bumps under the skin. These can usually be smoothed out by your healthcare provider.
More serious side effects of dermal fillers are rare but can include:
- Infection: There is a risk of infection at the injection site, which can be treated with antibiotics.
- Allergic reaction: In rare cases, patients may experience an allergic reaction to the filler. This can cause swelling, hives, and difficulty breathing.
- Tissue damage: If the filler is injected too deeply or in the wrong location, it can cause tissue damage.
- Necrosis: In extremely rare cases, dermal fillers can block blood vessels and cause tissue death (necrosis) in the surrounding area.
