Dermal Filler / Injectables Mount Pleasant SC

During your filler treatment, depending on the location and technique used; the area will be anesthetized with a numbing cream. Following this the skin will be cleansed thoroughly and your anatomy will be assessed and marked as well as the treatment plan. The filler also has a numbing agent called lidocaine so as the procedure begins the numbing medicine will take effect. You will be asked to animate during your procedure and your position may be adjusted throughout to ensure the most natural aesthetically pleasing results. Depending on the area treated gentle massage may be utilized as well as ice packs. Afterwards some clients may experience swelling and bruising that will dissipate over time. During your consult we will discuss methods to decrease these side effects and what to avoid the days prior to your treatment. In most cases your results are immediate after the procedure. Lips are an area that tend to have more risk for bruising and swelling. It takes 2-6 weeks for the filler to fully settle into its final appearance. I believe in gradual subtle improvements so I like to see you back in 2 weeks to assess and add additional filler if necessary. This is especially important with lips in order to avoid the dreaded duck or sausage lip! This is also the safest method of filler placement.

As we age, we lose a percentage of our hyaluronic acid as well as facial fat in certain areas of our face. In addition, we gain fat cells in undesirable locations of our face. This leads to sagging skin, prominent nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jowls; among other things. Filler helps to restore the lost fat and can lift and soften the areas of concern as well as minimize the appearance of wrinkles. Filler can also add volume in areas like the lips and cheeks, to enhance the overall appearance and balance of the face. In addition to facial restoration and rejuvenation, filler can be used to augment areas such as the lips, chin, and nose. There are many benefits of filler including adding hydration to the skin and optimizing it to add a youthful glow.

RHA Filler lasts 9 months to a year, with some clients experiencing results for even longer.

All dermal fillers have a small risk for development of a vascular occlusion during treatment. This is a rare occurrence that is discussed in depth along with other risks and benefits of dermal filler during your filler consult. It is extremely important that your provider is informing you of this possibility. Sadly, I have found that many clients were completely unaware of this from their previous provider. Hyaluronic Acid Filler is the only type of filler that has a reversal agent if such an event were to occur. This is the reason at TEAL we only provide this type of filler. Having an injector that is knowledgeable about anatomy and takes the time to mark and assess your anatomy is another factor that provides safety during your treatment. At TEAL my main priority is your safety. If you schedule a filler appointment be prepared to answer a series of questions and receive a detailed explanation of what to expect during your consult.
