Are Dermal Fillers painful?

Many of our dermal fillers are virtually pain-free. We offer numbing gel and medication before we begin the procedure to ensure there is no discomfort during the procedure. Many of our clients are extremely happy with their results, including the fact that most treatments are not painful. During the consultation and after the procedure, we will give you additional information about pain management if you require it. At most, we have a small number of patients who experience mild irritation or dull pain at the injection site, which quickly disappears within a day.

How many appointments will I need?

Depending on the results you desire, we often recommend follow-up appointments after the initial treatment. Because dermal fillers are non-invasive and very quick, many of our clients schedule regular top-up appointments for longer-lasting results. Typically, we see clients return anywhere between three to six weeks for a follow-up dermal filler. The choice is yours in terms of how you would like to space out the appointments and how often you would like to have the treatment. Our providers can give you custom advice after your initial treatment, so you have an idea of what will work best for your skin.

How long until I see results?

You will see results almost immediately! There may be some initial swelling or redness after receiving the injectable. Still, after this disappears, you will visibly be happy with the results of seeing your youthful-looking appearance, and smooth skin. Scheduling follow-up appointments is also a key ingredient to maintaining these results. You will be the envy of your friends in La Jolla and San Diego by choosing one of our non-invasive dermal fillers that will restore your beauty in under an hour.

Can I combine Dermal Fillers with other procedures?

The beauty of non-invasive injectable procedures is that you can combine them with other treatments. We recommend discussing your options with the doctor during your consultation, so we can better understand your goals and properly assess how much time you need to prepare for, and what kind of benefits you will receive. If you are concerned or have questions about which treatments to combine with a dermal filler, give us a call today. Many of our patients combine their dermal fillers with BOTOX or are interested in a Liquid Facelift for even more profound results.

What are the risks associated with Dermal Fillers?

There are little to no risks associated with Dermal Fillers, however, we take great care to give the best advice possible during a personal consultation. That being said, much like any medical procedure, there are some risks and safety considerations to be aware of. Allergic Reactions Infection Bruising and Swelling Asymmetry Tissue Damage Vascular Complications Filler Migration Most of our clients are extremely happy with the results they see and report very little pain or adverse effects.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers, also called soft-tissue fillers, are a category of FDA-approved injectables that add volume beneath the surface of the skin. Along with skin sagging and loss of elasticity, volume loss is a normal part of aging. The loss of volume leads to deep facial folds and wrinkles, hollows across the face, as well as skin that is less smooth.

Dermal fillers help to create a smoother and/or fuller appearance in the face, including nasolabial folds (the lines extending from the sides of the nose to the edges of the mouth), cheeks, chin, lips, and back of the hands.

A dermal filler is a great alternative to surgery and offers clients a way to maintain a youthful look without going under the knife.

At La Jolla Cosmetic Laser, we offer the following dermal fillers:

Juvederm®

As one of the most trusted and popular filler products, Juvederm is a family of revolutionary gels that can plump up your skin in a way that mimics the natural feel and appearance of a youthful glow depending on your individual needs. Juvederm can minimize facial folds, plump and shape your lips, or even create a lifting effect to help restore the v-shape of the face associated with youth and vitality.

Juvederm® Ultra

Juvederm Ultra replaces volume and fills in and smooths facial wrinkles and folds. It can effectively correct smile lines, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles, and is also used as a lip injection for thin lips.

Juvederm® Volbella

Juvederm Volbella is developed specifically for your lips and mouth area. It is a smooth gel that also contains lidocaine, which is a numbing solution that makes injections even more tolerable. It has been specifically developed as a smooth gel to give a soft, natural feel. The gel fills in lip lines and wrinkles during the hyaluronic acid within attracts and retains moisture, so results can last up to a year.

Juvederm® Vollure

Whether you are looking to reduce the look of moderate to deep wrinkles, or you are looking for a healthy, youthful appearance, Juvederm Vollure can help your skin look radiant for up to 18 months at a time. Juvederm Vollure is gel-based, making it safe for use on most of the face, and contains the pain-reducing pain medication lidocaine to provide you with a much more comfortable experience.

Juvederm® Voluma

Juvederm Voluma is designed specifically to treat the mid-face area with additional abilities beyond plumping lines and wrinkles; it was specifically designed to restore and lift the cheek area which has lost its shape due to normal aging. The amount of volume lost varies from patient to patient, and more drastic losses result in obvious and undesired changes to the face. This product was developed to be smoother than other hyaluronic acid fillers, making it easier to inject during treatment and resulting in a soft, natural look and feel by restoring volume lost during the natural aging process.

Juvederm® Volux

Juvederm® Volux is the first and only FDA-approved gel filler designed to temporarily improve the jawline’s appearance in patients with moderate-to-severe loss of definition. Patients can add volume to improve the shape and structure of their lower face and achieve a smoother and more defined jawline and profile. Many patients have seen results that lasted 9 – 12 months with optimal treatment.

Juvederm® Skinvive Facial Treatment

SkinVive by Juvederm is not a dermal filler, but rather a skin-conditioning HA gel designed to improve skin quality for up to 9 months. Suitable for almost every age and skin type, SkinVive is quite versatile and can help with cheek enhancement, chin augmentation, and improving lip and nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. It can also be utilized to address concerns like temple lines, jawline definition, and so much more! SkinVive works once injected into the middle layers of the dermis to nourish your skin from the inside out.

Restylane®

The original HA gel for wrinkles, earlobe restoration, lines, and folds. This injectable is integrated with lidocaine, which instantaneously numbs the injected area, making corrections comfortable and easily tolerable. The Restylane family of dermal fillers is the perfect choice for instant results – lifting skin, smoothing flattened areas, and bringing back tone and definition to the eyes, cheeks, and lips. With regular treatments, Restylane may even help your body improve its collagen production, enhancing your natural anti-aging efforts.

Restylane® Kysse

Kysse is solely designed to be used in the lips and lip lines, with every component of the injection helping to create pillowy, softer lips. This filler can also erase those pesky radial wrinkles around the lips! Kysse offers unique cross-linking technology that gives the substance a balance between structure and flexibility, which is great for the lips and areas of the face with lots of movement. It can move along with the tissue seamlessly – giving it a very natural look and feel.

Restylane® Refyne and Defyne

These fillers feature an innovative technology called XpresHAn (pronounced “expression”) which gives these gels more flexibility and support than other HA fillers. This allows the gels to move with your skin providing a very natural look with your facial movements and expressions.

Restylane® Lyft

A “sister” product to Restylane that contains the same hyaluronic acid, but the construction is of larger gel particles and a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid. This makes Restylane Lyft best suited for mid to deeper dermal filling for facial folds, deep wrinkles, and supportive type volume correction. Expect 8 to 10 months of longevity with this filler. FDA-approved for mid-face volume and deep folds.

Restylane® Contour

Restylane Contour is the newest addition to the Restylane family and is designed specifically for injections in the mid-face, enhancing the appearance of the cheekbones, and replenishing cheek volume. The result of having cheek augmentation using Restylane Contour is improved skin elasticity, enhanced facial contour with more prominent cheekbones, and restored facial volume for a more youthful, beautiful appearance and natural look.

Restylane® Eyelight

Restylane Eyelight is formulated with NASHA Technology, which has a firm gel texture resulting in targeted product placement, helping it stay in place, and fills in the undereye area to reduce shadows. The area that is most commonly affected by volume loss is called the “tear trough”, which starts at the inner corner of the eye and forms a half-circle under the eye. Results from treatment with Restylane Eyelight in the undereye area have been shown to last up to 18 months with optimal treatment.

Sculptra®

This filler causes your skin to produce new collagen in specifically chosen areas. Sculptra’s collagen stimulation action restores volume and rebalances facial contours in a way no other product can. Dr. Mani is a top Sculptra injector in San Diego County and is an official National Training Physician for Sculptra. A favorite among our patients, Sculptra creates a face-lift effect by causing your skin to produce more of its collagen.

Radiesse®

A long-lasting, calcium-based filler for deep folds, chin and cheek augmentation, and nose refinement. Can also be used for hand rejuvenation. Dr. Mani is a specially selected Radiesse Training Physician for Merz Pharmaceuticals, makers of this novel long-term filler product. Medical Education Faculty Members are designated for their exceptional ability and proven techniques.

Radiesse® for Hands

Dr. Mani is a Certified Radiesse Hand Injector. Radiesse for hands provides volume replacement to minimize protrusion of veins and tendons.

We understand that each client’s need is personal, so it’s our job to help guide you through the process by assessing your needs and goals, examining the areas where you wish to receive the injectables, and determining whether you are a good candidate for one of our procedures.

Good candidates for Dermal Fillers are those with the facial aging, wrinkles and fine lines, volume loss, realistic expectations, good overall health, non-smokers and commitment to maintenance.

Dermal Fillers are less invasive than other facial procedures which is why it’s beneficial for a lot of clients with a wide variety of skin types. We encourage you to reach out to find out which dermal filler is right for you.

What’s the First Step?

We may discuss your medical history if it is relevant to know whether our treatment is right for you. We also encourage you to ask questions and share your concerns.

What to Expect on the Day of a Dermal Fillers Treatment

On the day of your procedure, you can expect to be welcomed into our inviting clinic, a haven from the busy world outside, with custom lighting, a comfortable waiting area, and a team of friendly staff that will help get you situated. Before the procedure, we have paperwork for you to fill out. From there we take you into one of our private, custom-built suites where the treatment will take place.

We offer cold compresses and numbing medication to ensure you do not feel pain or discomfort throughout the procedure. Your provider may make tiny marks where they plan on making injections. They will take a syringe with a very fine needle and make strategic injections with an exact amount of filler. Then, they will lightly massage the filler around to spread it evenly and examine the results, only adding more filler if needed.

Most Dermal Fillers take less than an hour, making it a great lunchtime option for our busy clients. Once the injectables are complete, you will be free to move about the rest of your day.

Dermal Fillers Recovery

The recovery time for Dermal Fillers is very short. Most of our clients return to work or go about their day as normal. You may feel a small amount of dull pain or irritation at the injection site, but it will not last long. We recommend over-the-counter pain medications to ensure you experience as little pain as possible. Our medical professionals will give you information after the procedure outlining the best pain relief for you, based on your skin type and any symptoms you may be experiencing.

Any pain or irritation you do feel should dissipate within 24-48 hours. We encourage you to call us for any concerns or issues after your treatment.

I am genuinely looking forward to my next appointment”
