HOW ARE DERMAL FILLERS ADMINISTERED?

Dermal filler injections are a quick in-office treatment, so you can expect to be in and out within 15 minutes. During your appointment, first you will meet with Dr. Hakimi to discuss your goals and choose the best filler (or combination of fillers) for addressing your concerns.

Dr. Hakimi will then identify the areas that need correction by having you make a number of facial expressions. Once those areas have been identified, he will inject a small amount of filler into strategic areas to smooth away unwanted lines, wrinkles and creases. Each injection lasts only a few seconds, and a small needle is used to minimize discomfort. You may ask for numbing cream if desired, but this step is often unnecessary for most patients.

After your treatment is complete, you’ll be able to return home and resume your normal routine with no downtime. Dermal fillers offer a convenient and nonsurgical way to rejuvenate your appearance without significantly disrupting your busy schedule.

YOUR RESULTS

Dr. Hakimi’s goal is to help you achieve a naturally refreshed appearance that makes every angle your best angle. When you choose Hakimi Plastic Surgery for your aesthetic needs, you’re embracing a transformation that reflects and enhances your innate beauty.

One of the biggest advantages of dermal fillers is that you’ll experience immediate and long-lasting results. Whether you’re adding volume to your lips or erasing unwanted lines and wrinkles, you will instantly notice a difference in treated areas. These results will continue to improve as the filler settles into place over the following days and weeks. Once you’ve achieved your final outcome, you can expect to enjoy smoother skin for 6 to 18 months, depending on the specific brand and formula. Keep in mind that fillers in mobile parts of the face, such as the mouth or lips, do not last as long as denser fillers in other areas.

About Your Procedure

01 // SAY GOODBYE TO STATIC LINES AND WRINKLES

Dermal fillers are ideal for erasing static lines and wrinkles that are visible even when the face is at rest. If you’re wondering whether these treatments are right for you, fillers like Juvéderm, Restylane and the RHA Collection can address the following concerns:

  • Facial wrinkles and creases
  • Volume loss
  • Marionette lines
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Vertical lip lines
  • Frown lines
  • Chin definition
  • Jawline contouring
  • Sunken temples
  • Hollowing of the midface
  • Dark circles beneath the eyes
  • Acne scars
  • Aging hands
02 // COMBINE TREATMENTS FOR COMPREHENSIVE RESULTS

Dermal fillers are a great option for restoring lost volume and softening the appearance of static wrinkles, but they can also be used alongside other injectables like Botox for more comprehensive results. If you’re bothered by expression lines that appear with every smile, wink or frown, wrinkle relaxers temporarily prevent the muscles from contracting in treated areas, leaving the skin looking smooth, firm and youthful for 4 to 6 months.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Hakimi may recommend combining dermal fillers and neurotoxins depending on your unique needs, concerns, and treatment goals.

FAQ

CAN DERMAL FILLERS BE REVERSED?

Dermal fillers are a popular solution for restoring lost volume and smoothing away fine lines or wrinkles, but sometimes, they can lead to suboptimal results that leave you looking “puffy” or overdone. Fortunately, hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Restylane and Juvéderm can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. The best way to avoid needing to reverse your dermal filler treatment is to choose an experienced provider like Dr. Hakimi, who has the knowledge and expertise to provide subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your overall appearance rather than distort it.

DO FILLER INJECTIONS HURT?

Dermal filler injections are well-tolerated by most patients, but discomfort may vary from person to person. Dr. Hakimi uses small needles and a refined technique to reduce pain during treatment, and many dermal fillers are formulated with a local anesthetic (lidocaine) to ensure your comfort. At most, you may feel some pressure or a slight pinch at the injection sites.

HOW LONG DO DERMAL FILLERS LAST?

The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used, the area treated and individual factors such as metabolism or lifestyle. Generally, you can expect hyaluronic acid fillers to last between 6 to 18 months. Dr. Hakimi will discuss with you the duration of your chosen dermal filler and when you might consider follow-up treatments to maintain your desired look.

HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS?

The results from dermal fillers are typically visible immediately after the treatment. You may notice an instant improvement in volume and a reduction in lines and wrinkles in the treated areas. However, it’s common for the full effects to become more apparent once any swelling or bruising has subsided, usually within a week or two following your appointment.

HOW CAN I ENSURE MY DERMAL FILLER RESULTS LOOK NATURAL?

Choosing an experienced and skilled injector like Dr. Hakimi is crucial for achieving natural-looking results. Dr. Hakimi’s approach focuses on enhancing your natural beauty with a thorough understanding of facial anatomy. During your initial consultation, he will examine your concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals, ensuring results that complement your features beautifully.

IS THERE A BEST AGE TO START DERMAL FILLER TREATMENTS?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to the best age for starting dermal filler treatments, as individuals age at different rates and have unique aesthetic concerns. Dr. Hakimi believes in a personalized approach, recommending treatments based on each individual’s needs rather than their age. Whether you’re looking to prevent signs of aging or address existing concerns, he can guide you on the most appropriate time to start treatments for your situation.

HOW CAN I MAINTAIN MY RESULTS?

Maintaining your dermal filler results involves following Dr. Hakimi’s aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding certain activities, such as strenuous exercise, for a short period of time post-treatment. He also recommends avoiding rubbing or massaging the treated area to prevent the filler from spreading. In the long term, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, using quality skin care products and avoiding excessive sun exposure can all help prolong the effects of your filler. Periodic touch-up treatments can also keep your skin looking smooth and youthful.
