What Are Fillers?

Fillers are non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment options to restore lost volume and reduce the appearance of signs of aging.

One of the biggest reasons we develop fine lines or wrinkles is due to a loss of collagen and elastin in our skin. Collagen provides structure to the skin, and the loss of collagen can create a sunken or worn appearance. Some fillers can also be used to volumize and augment lips as well. Dermal filler treatments can include the cheeks, lips, chin, and jawline with excellent results being achieved in just one treatment. However, this varies with each patient.

For our patients in Annapolis dermal fillers are a popular alternative to cosmetic surgery because there is little to no downtime. In fact, over 2 million people have made dermal fillers their choice of cosmetic treatment. Your aesthetic specialist will discuss all of your options to determine the filler that is right for you during your consultation.

Commonly treated concerns include:

Skin folds
Aging Lips
Undereye Hollows
Undefined Chin

What Could I Expect from Treatment?

Dermal fillers in Maryland are administered in the comfort of our O'Donnell Medical Aesthetics in Easton or Annapolis, MD offices. The treatment process is relatively simple, and there is little to no pain associated with the injections. However, you may experience some discomfort or pinching at the injection site. The dermal filler is injected in small amounts into specific areas to enhance, shape, and contour your face. Each filler is designed with unique properties, including longevity. However, an injectable treatment is not permanent, and additional treatments may be necessary. Prior to your treatment, it is important to avoid the following medications or supplements:

Aleve
Aspirin
Motrin
Fish oil
Vitamin E
Multivitamins

These over-the-counter medications and supplements act as blood thinners and may cause bruising to the injection sites. Our Annapolis aesthetic specialists will evaluate the areas on your face you are wanting to treat. Your procedure will take about 15 minutes to one hour depending on the size of the area or the amount of filler needed to provide you with optimal results.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Dermal fillers are a safe and effective choice for most healthy adults who are seeking non-surgical methods to refresh their appearance

These diverse injectables may be used to temporarily restore lost volume in specific areas. To be a good candidate for dermal fillers, you should adhere to the following:

You are in overall good health.
You are committed to maintaining a skincare routine.
You have realistic expectations about the improvement of your appearance.
You don’t smoke or will stop two weeks prior to treatment and two weeks after treatment to enable proper healing.

A consultation with our team in Maryland can help determine if fillers are a good fit for you and your goals. They can also help you select the best fillers for your specific concerns as well as develop your unique treatment plan.

Recovery

There is no set downtime with these treatment sessions, and sessions are typically short. It is recommended to plan your treatments one to two weeks before attending an event, to see your best results. You may experience some mild swelling or bruising in the treatment areas, but you should be able to return to your normal daily activities. You will receive a post-treatment plan and it is essential to follow instructions for optimal healing and results.

Results

Results achieved with dermal fillers will vary for each person, the concerns addressed, and the filler is chosen. Most people enjoy immediate results, and results may last for up to a year with optimal treatment. You will want to schedule future treatments and create a beauty regimen to provide the continuation of your overall youthful appearance.
