We will apply a numbing agent to your face to alleviate any discomfort. Most patients report nothing more than a slight pinching sensation at their injection sites.
Risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, allergic reactions, and excessive bleeding. The most serious risk would be an unintentional injection into a blood vessel. The most common side effect is temporary swelling and bruising.
While dermal filler results are not considered permanent, first treatment results can last up to two years. Remember that dermal filler results are always reversible if you choose.
While costs will vary according to the extent and type of treatment performed, industry data place the average cost of a single treatment at $750. Discuss costs and financing options with us at the time of your consultation.
