Introduction to Dermal Fillers

As we grow older, our skin experiences a loss of fat and reduced collagen production, resulting in the premature appearance of wrinkles, hollowness, and folds. Nobody wants to look a decade older than their actual age. If you’re grappling with early signs of aging, it’s time to take action. Employing Dermal Fillers is a fantastic strategy to halt the decline and rejuvenate your facial skin. Direct Aesthetics in Rockford, MI, specializes in the most effective forms of Dermal Fillers, providing life-changing results for patients of all kinds.

Dermal fillers consist of a hyaluronic acid gel-like substance that is skillfully injected beneath the skin. They play a crucial role in reducing facial lines and restoring volume, addressing the natural changes that occur as we age.

Our expertly trained specialists will assess your facial features and skin tone, carefully examining the specific areas slated for enhancement. We’ll identify strategic points on your face, marking them as optimal injection sites for the filler. To ensure cleanliness and safety, the injection sites will undergo cleansing with an antibacterial agent.

While the injections may not be entirely painless, they are generally well-tolerated. Certain fillers come equipped with anesthetic properties to minimize discomfort at the injection site. Most clients are comfortable during treatment. Our fillers contain lidocaine, and we apply topical numbing cream prior to injections. If at any time you feel uncomfortable, please don’t hesitate to inform us! We also have various sensory tools available to help keep you distracted during your appointment.

At a Glance

Benefits dermal fillers:

Lifts, tightens and hydrates the skin
Stimulates collagen production
Reduces signs of ageing

Dermal fillers offer several benefits, including the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines, restoration of lost facial volume, improvement of facial contours, and augmentation of lips. They provide a non-surgical solution for achieving a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance with minimal downtime.

Recovery time:

Recovery time varies for each patient and for each type of filler injected. You can resume most activities right away, but it is generally recommended that you avoid intense physical activity for the first 24-48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising. Depending on what area is treated, there may be several days of swelling and bruising, and the filler may feel firm. Swelling resolves within 2-3 days and bruising resolves within a week, if it occurs at all. It takes a full 2 weeks for the filler to integrate into the tissues.

Treatment time:

Dermal filler appointments take between 45-60 minutes. This allows plenty of time to discuss the procedure, answer questions and get the patient properly numbed.

No. of sessions:

To achieve Full Face Rejuvenation, multiple filler appointments may be necessary over the course of 6-12 months, depending on patient's goal and current anatomy.
