Common questions about injectable dermal fillers for cosmetic enhancement
Dr. Amina Bougrine is a board-certified dermatologist at Aura Dermatologie, serving patients in and around Montreal, Quebec. Individuals who are looking for medical or cosmetic dermatology solutions are encouraged to book a consultation visit and discuss their options. For those ready to address fine lines, wrinkles, and folds without surgery, cosmetic injectables called dermal fillers might be the right choice! Let’s look at some frequently asked questions about these aesthetic offerings at our clinic.
What are dermal fillers, exactly?
Gel-like materials called dermal fillers are injected beneath the skin to improve facial features, reduce wrinkles, and replenish lost volume. Think of them as giving your skin a little boost of hydration and structure, like plumping up a flat pillow!
Are they safe?
Absolutely! When administered by a qualified professional, quality dermal fillers can be completely safe and predictable—while remaining effective. Most dermal fillers available at Aura Dermatologie are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in your body. Of course, choosing a licensed practitioner who uses FDA-approved products is key, so we invite you to turn to Dr. Bougrine and her team.
Do dermal fillers hurt?
Not really. Most fillers include a numbing agent, and your practitioner may apply a numbing cream beforehand to make the process more comfortable. You might feel a pinch or slight pressure, but it’s generally quick and tolerable.
How long do fillers last?
Results from dermal fillers often last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. It’s like a long-lasting magic trick —but subtle and real!
Will I look unnatural or “overdone”?
Not at all! Our skilled professionals focus on enhancing your natural beauty rather than making drastic changes. The goal is to leave you looking refreshed, not unrecognizable.
Is there any downtime?
With dermal fillers, there is very little downtime. You might see some mild redness, swelling, or minor bruising, but these usually go away within a few days.
When will I see the results?
We know you want to see results, and you will notice improvements with dermal fillers visible almost immediately! While you must wait a few days for the swelling to settle, the glow-up is fast and fabulous!
