Dermal Fillers in La Mesa, CA
Dermal Fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They work by injecting a gel-like substance under the skin, typically made of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials. This process adds volume and hydration to the treated areas, helping to reduce the appearance of lines and folds. Dermal Fillers can treat various areas, including the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and under-eye hollows.

Aftercare For Filler Treatments
After your filler treatment, you may experience some swelling, redness (erythema), and occasional bruising at the injection sites. This is normal and should subside within two weeks. As soon as the procedure is completed, you can return to your normal activities, except for strenuous exercise on the same day. Depending on the area treated, your provider will provide specific aftercare instructions. To reduce infection risk, avoid touching or rubbing the injected areas for 24 hours. Do not massage the filler to prevent it from migrating to unwanted areas. Applying Arnica tablets or topical cream can help reduce bruising. Mild lumps or unevenness are expected due to swelling, and it is recommended to wait two weeks before a re-evaluation.
