  • Nasolabial fillers can help to smooth out wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth, while cheek fillers can add volume and lift to the cheek area, creating a more youthful and contoured appearance.
  • Jawline fillers can help to define and sharpen the jawline, creating a more angular and masculine look, while acne scars can be filled and smoothed out to create a more even and flawless complexion.

Dermal fillers offer a wide range of benefits, including a non-invasive alternative to surgery, immediate and long-lasting results, and minimal downtime.

Depending on the type of filler used and individual factors such as skin type and lifestyle, dermal filler treatments can last anywhere from 6 months up to 2 years. Generally speaking though, most filling agents tend to have an efficacy period lasting an average of 6-12 months before requiring touch ups or repeat treatments.
While results with most dermal fillers can be seen immediately following injection sessions with little to no downtime needed afterward, certain areas may require additional recovery time due to swelling or bruising at the injection sites. It is important that you follow your provider instructions for aftercare in order to reduce any risks for complications or delayed healing times.
With every medical procedure come potential risks and side effects including infection at the injection site, allergic reaction to the material used in the injections or temporary bruising around the area injected. It is important that patients discuss all potential risks with their health professional prior to undergoing a treatment plan.
Prior to receiving any type of filler injection, it is important to discuss the specifics of the treatment with your doctor or aesthetic practitioner. You should be sure to provide a thorough medical history, including allergies and current medications. If you have an autoimmune condition or other medical issues that may interfere with the filler injection, your doctor should be made aware of this prior to your procedure.Following a filler injection treatment, there are several steps you should take in order to ensure optimal results and reduce potential complications.
  • Immediately after the procedure, it is important to apply cold compresses or ice packs intermittently on the injected area in order to relieve any swelling or soreness that may occur.
  • Additionally, you should avoid strenuous activities such as exercise for at least 24 hours post-treatment in order to avoid causing further stress on your body which could lead to increased swelling or bruising around the area injected with filler.
  • In terms of skincare products following a filler injection appointment, it is best to use gentle cleansers and moisturizers that are fragrance-free so as not to exacerbate any skin sensitivity that may have arisen during treatment.
  • While makeup can be used on treated areas following a session, it must be applied cautiously in order to minimize any potential irritation. Furthermore, sun protection should also be worn regularly after an injectable session in order to protect the skin from damaging UV rays which could suppress collagen production over time, thus diminishing your results from filler injections.
  • It is also important to avoid certain activities before receiving a filler injection. This includes taking certain supplements and even certain foods, as they may increase the risk of bleeding or bruising following the procedure.
Additionally, it is best to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds in the days leading up to your appointment, as this can make the skin more sensitive and prone to irritation from the filler injections. Lastly, it is important not to take ibuprofen or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for at least 24 hours prior to your treatment as these medications can increase bleeding and bruising.
Most people report minimal discomfort during injections due largely to topical anesthetics used before treatments and specialized micro-needles used during injections, which drastically reduce discomfort levels compared to traditional needles used in medical practices. However, if patients have concerns about pain-related issues, they must consult their doctor beforehand so appropriate measures can be taken before beginning treatment plans.

Most Common Cosmetic Indications For Fillers​

Dermal fillers are  used frequently for lip augmentation. This involves injecting strategically placed fillers into key points on your lips to create plumpness without changing their natural shape or colour too much. Other common cosmetic uses of fillers are nasolabial folds correction, cheek and chin augmentation, marionette line correction and Jawline contouring. Fillers are also commonly injected around other parts of our face i.e. nose bridge and under the eyes – these injections can help achieve improved facial symmetry by creating subtle changes in the size or shape of these features.

Combining Neurotoxin and Fillers for best results

Botox and fillers offer a variety of benefits, especially when it comes to facial features. In terms of Botox, the most significant benefit is that it can be used to reduce dynamic wrinkles and fine lines, but it has little efficacy on static and deep wrinkles.Dermal fillers are particularly effective in filling deep and static wrinkles and adding volume to areas of the face or lips. Overall, Botox and fillers offer patients an array of benefits ranging from smoothing out wrinkles, providing near-instant results without surgery, being minimally invasive with little recovery time required, helping to contour facial features, and having natural ingredients that are not harmful to patients’ health.For these reasons and more, these two treatments have become extremely popular amongst people looking for a way to improve their looks or reduce signs of aging.

What is Liquid facelift?

A liquid facelift is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure that is becoming increasingly popular among those looking for subtle but effective results. It involves using dermal fillers, along with other injectable treatments, to lift and contour the face without surgery. The procedure can reduce wrinkles and fine lines, improve skin tone and texture, restore volume in areas of hollowing or sunkenness such as the cheeks or temples, lift sagging jowls, and create a balanced overall look.

Advanced Cosmetic Injection Technique

Dr. Alhallak is a highly skilled injector in using the cannula technique. Using TSK SteriGlide blunt cannula for dermal fillers injections has a number of advantages. For starters, the cannula is designed with soft edges, which limit the risk of bruising and potential injury to the skin. It is also easy to use, with a smooth glide and precise control for accuracy in the injection process. This helps to reduce the time needed for treatment, making it more efficient overall. Moreover, the cannula offers more precise placement of injectables into the skin and allows for uniform product distribution.

different brands of hyaluronic acid fillers, and different products in the same brand exist!

The main reason why there are different brands of hyaluronic acid fillers is that different companies own and market different trade names. For instance, Juvederm is produced by Allergan, a USA company. On the other hand, Restylane is produced by Galderma, a Swedish company. Additionally, within each brand, there are several different products. For example, Juvederm has Volbella (for lip augmentation), Volift (for midface rejuvenation), and Voluma (for facial volume loss). Each of these products contains the same concentrations of hyaluronic acid particles but different degrees of cross-linking that affect the particle’s size and intended usage.This allows them to provide unique results necessary to meet individual needs—Volbella’s small particle size allows it to provide subtle yet effective under-eye correction and lip augmentation, while Volift’s larger particles are ideal for softening wrinkles around the cheeks.

Combining Filler Injection And Hydrafacial​

Combining fillers and Hydrafacial can offer many benefits to both men and women. For starters, utilizing fillers in combination with Hydrafacial can help to restore facial volume in areas where the skin appears sunken or thin due to age-related changes or other factors. By using fillers to create more area-specific contours, a person’s cheeks, lips, jawline, and other areas can appear fuller and more youthful. This added volume can also help reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin for a smoother complexion overall.
