Frequently Asked Questions

What can dermal fillers treat?

Dermal fillers are used to add plumpness and shape to the lips, soften facial lines and creases such as marionette lines and nasolabial folds, smooth acne scars, and restore volume lost to facial aging. The right filler and injection technique depend on the specific area and concern being addressed.

What’s the difference between the dermal filler options offered at iGlow Clinic?

iGlow Clinic offers several types of dermal fillers, including Juvederm, each formulated with a different gel consistency for specific areas like the lips, cheeks, or nasolabial folds. Your injector will help select the formula best matched to your anatomy and goals during your consultation.

Are dermal filler injections painful?

Before injecting, your provider will cleanse the area and may apply a topical anesthetic to help with comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or pinching rather than significant pain.

What is recovery like after dermal fillers?

Dermal filler injections are an outpatient procedure with no required downtime, so you can return to your daily activities right away. The treated area may be tender or swollen for a day or two, which can be eased with a cold compress, and it’s best to avoid intense exercise for the first 24 to 48 hours.

How long do dermal filler results last?

This depends on the type of filler used. Hyaluronic acid formulas typically last six to 18 months, while collagen-stimulating options like Sculptra can maintain results for up to two years.

Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?

Good candidates are generally healthy adults looking to address volume loss, soften lines and folds, or enhance facial contours without surgery. A consultation with your injector will help determine which filler, if any, is appropriate for your goals and medical history.
