Dermal Fillers

Introduction

Introduction to Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are gel-like injectable compounds that non-surgically reverse signs of aging, restoring a refreshed, energized appearance. In addition to filling in lines, creases, and folds, they amplify youthful volume and reinstate facial balance and symmetry. At The Block-Wheeler Clinic in San Francisco, California, Dr. Block-Wheeler and his team of highly skilled aesthetic practitioners focus on natural-looking outcomes using today’s most cutting-edge products.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

As the body’s reserves of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid gradually decline with age, it can lead to volume loss, wrinkles, and folds. Dermal fillers are ideal for rejuvenating the cheeks, temples, jawline, lips, and tear troughs with no downtime or discomfort, making them an ideal cosmetic solution for our busy, active patients in the San Francisco area. Highly versatile, dermal fillers can be used to perform a non-surgical facelift, rhinoplasty, or chin augmentation, restoring proportion and harmony.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are recommended for patients in and around San Francisco, CA, who desire a non-invasive approach to facial rejuvenation that yields a more youthful, revitalized appearance. Whether you are unhappy with emerging signs of aging — such as loss of definition in the jawline and cheeks, volume reduction in the lips, temples, or under-eye region — or lines, wrinkles, and nasolabial folds, dermal fillers can help restore your look and boost your confidence. Most fillers are formulated with biocompatible hyaluronic acid, making allergic reactions extremely rare. However, it is important that you are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for results before embarking on your aesthetic journey.

Dr. Block-Wheeler will offer a thorough consultation to ensure dermal fillers are a safe and effective option for achieving your goals. Please note that the treatment is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women or for those with active skin infections or more pronounced skin laxity.

What to Expect on the Day of a Dermal Filler Treatment

On the day of your appointment, we will greet you warmly and escort you to one of our state-of-the-art treatment rooms at our world-class clinic in San Francisco. You can anticipate your session will last from 15 to 30 minutes. As a first step, we will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic to ensure your treatment journey is painless, stress-free, and relaxing. We will then outline your injection points based on your individualized treatment plan and strategically administer your filler to combat signs of aging and restore a balanced, radiant complexion.

Dermal Filler Recovery

After your dermal filler appointment, you can expect to return to your normal schedule right away with minimal restrictions. You may encounter mild swelling, redness, soreness, and itchiness at the injection points. These symptoms can be managed with an ice pack or over-the-counter pain medication. Try not to rub, massage, or scratch your skin after your appointment, as this can lead to unintended filler migration. Avoid strenuous workouts for the first 24 to 48 hours, and steer clear of intense heat as well. This means staying out of the steam room, hot tub, sauna, and hot showers. For the first one to two days after dermal fillers, don’t drink alcohol, as this has been shown to intensify risks such as bruising and swelling.
