Dermal Fillers: What to Know Before You Try?

07 Jan Dermal Fillers: What to Know Before You Try?

Dermal fillers which consist of crossed link hyaluronic acid are quite popular in today’s era. It’s important to understand how they work and what one should know about them when you plan to get injected. There are various brands and the most popular ones are Juvederm and Restylane. These are most commonly used in India and western countries. Certain more economical Chinese or Korean brands are also available. The safety of the manufacturing process, the sterility of the products, the quantity of hyaluronic acid, the flow of product while injecting are all factors that make Juvederm and Restylane safer as an injector. It’s like an implant that will stay inside your tissues so safety should not be compromised.

It’s also important to understand that the product’s marketed in 1ml pre-filled syringe. When we explain the quantity required to the patient which directly converts to the costing. It’s crucial that 1ml is 1/5 of a teaspoon (which measures 5 ml) so when the doctor explains to you that you may require 4 ml or 5ml the quality will definitely not bloat you or make you look artificial by any means. Another FAQ’s is at what time interval one should get injected before an important event. Keeping in mind the slight discomfort we recommend 15 days to 1 month prior is the best time. It takes 15 days for the product to integrate into the tissue and hydrates it completely.

Another common query is whether to go for the promotional offers while considering fillers. Considering the procedure is expensive one should not consider minor cost differences and go for a good injector while considering fillers. It’s also important to discuss your cosmetic concerns with the doctor before the procedure. Post-procedure care should be followed for the best results. History of any medications, chronic illness should be discussed completely. Moreover, fillers do not speed aging processes and this fear is false. A good injector, prior communication, a complete discussion about the product type and quantity, and good post-care will make you a satisfied patient.

Dermal filler is the medical procedure and one should always go to a clinician to get this done. A clinician will do an assessment of your skin and then they will go for this procedure so that you will get the best outcome without any side effects.
