The results of dermal fillers are instant & there is no downtime. But in some patients a slight bruise can occur at the site of injection, which may persist for a few days. But just in case it happens, one can easily hide it using slight makeup. There can be slight redness, swelling and tenderness.

One can have over correction or asymmetry, mostly because of inexperience of the treating physician or over expectations of the patient. This can be easily corrected though with the help of hyalase injection. Sometimes rarely wound, infection or scarring may occur. This usually happens when the injection is injected in a vessel accidentally. Though this is very uncommon and rare with an experienced dermatologist. But again because the product which we use is biodegradable, this can be easily dealt with.

The difference between Botox and derma filler are:-

Botox is used for dynamic wrinkle. Like forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet.

Dermal filler are used for static wrinkle. Like corner of the mouth, cheeks and neck. These days’ dermal fillers are used for facial contouring and gives amazing results. Both the procedures are sometimes indicated in a single patient.

One must avoid heavy exercise for few day after the treatment.

One must not rub that particular area. Any redness or numbness should be informed to the dermatologist.

Avoid makeup soon after the treatment.

This is a very gratifying treatment as the results are instant and miraculous. It can really make a person fall in love with himself/ herself.
