Dermal Fillers in Miami, FL

After weight loss or with age, Miami, FL men and women may notice facial volume loss and wrinkles beginning to form on their face. In such instances, some people choose to receive dermal fillers to replenish lost facial volume. Fillers are a great minimally invasive alternative for our patients who want to smooth fine lines, sagging skin, and/or wrinkles. They can also be added to other cosmetic procedures to provide results similar to a traditional facelift without surgery, the risk of scarring, or the downtime. To learn if dermal fillers are right for you, we encourage you to visit Brickell Cosmetic Center to help you create a youthful appearance.

Volume loss and wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but that doesn't mean you have to accept them. Dermal fillers help restore volume and diminish the appearance of wrinkles for a youthful look. Some benefits of fillers include:

• Immediate results: You will see an improvement in your appearance as soon as the filler is injected.
• Minimal downtime: There is little to no recovery time required after receiving dermal fillers.
• Customizable: The amount of filler used can be personalized to meet your individual needs and goals.
• Long-lasting: Results vary but can last up to a year with the proper care and attention.

Patients should undergo a consultation with an expert injector to see if dermal fillers are the best way to achieve their desired look. Ideal candidates for fillers are adults who want to smooth away wrinkles and add volume to sunken or hollow areas. Please inform our team about any allergies that may interfere with your procedure. Those with active skin infections should also wait until their condition has cleared before receiving treatment.

Before your dermal filler injections, you'll discuss your cosmetic goals with the doctor, and together, determine what product will best deliver them. Injectable fillers are done as an in-office procedure in a very short amount of time. At the time of your procedure, we will use a topical numbing cream as an anesthetic to make the injections as comfortable as possible. Slowly and meticulously, the filler will be injected into your skin through a very fine needle. After your procedure, you can get right back to everyday life. You will likely experience swelling and bruising immediately after, but these symptoms will dissipate within a couple of days. Results can last from a few months to a year, depending on the type of filler used and the placement of the injection. Touch-ups may be needed periodically to optimize results. The fillers we offer are:

• Restylane®: This is used to treat moderate to severe wrinkles and folds in the mid-face.
• JUVÉDERM®: JUVÉDERM is typically used to plump up the lips and address wrinkles and folds that occur around the nose and mouth.
• RADIESSE®: RADIESSE is the only FDA-approved filler that causes calcium-microspheres to stimulate collagen growth and smooth lines and wrinkles for up to one year.
• Sculptra®: Sculptra helps reduce lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen growth.

How do I know which injectable filler is right for me?
The type of dermal filler used on you will depend on which area(s) is being treated as well as your desired outcome. Depending on whether you want to diminish wrinkles or achieve fuller, plumper lips, your injector will talk with you about your concerns prior to recommending the best filler for optimal results. Since there are so many different types of fillers available, it may be difficult to choose which is ideal for your needs, but we work hard to make sure you get a natural-looking, rejuvenated look.

How long will the results last?
How long your results last will be dependent on the type of filler used and the area(s) treated. In some people, results may be visible for a year, while some patients might want another treatment after a couple of months. Follow-up treatments are available at our practice in order to maintain your improvements.

What areas of my face can be treated with dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers can improve signs of aging by either adding volume or smoothing static lines. Fillers can be injected into mild to moderate parentheses, marionette, and corner lines around your mouth and nose. They can also add volume to your lips and cheeks.

Are dermal fillers safe?

Dermal fillers are generally considered safe when administered by a professional. Though there is always a risk of side effects with cosmetic treatment, these reactions are usually temporary and should subside within a few days. In rare cases, some people may experience an allergic reaction or a complication that requires medical attention.

Do dermal fillers produce natural outcomes?

Our team members at Brickell Cosmetic Center have years of experience in delivering natural-looking results with dermal fillers. We use the latest techniques and products to ensure that you get a subtle, yet beautiful enhancement. Remember to follow any pre- and post-care instructions given by your injector. Doing so will help you achieve the best results.

How do I prepare for my dermal filler appointment?

Prior to your treatment, it's important to discuss any medical conditions or medications with our team. You should also avoid taking ibuprofen and other blood-thinning medicines a few days before your appointment to minimize your risk of bruising. Our Miami, FL staff will provide any additional pre-treatment instructions.
