Dermal Fillers

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injections containing FDA-approved substances that add volume to your lips, face, or other areas to plump tissues and smooth lines. Fillers help reduce common signs of aging without surgery. Several types of fillers exist that can last for months to years. Dr. Ayoola-Yussuf tailors a plan offering beautiful and sophisticated results.

What happens when receiving dermal filler injections?

During dermal filler injections at Élan Aesthetics, Dr. Ayoola-Yussuf cleans the treatment area and numbs it when necessary to ensure optimal comfort. 

Using a tiny needle, she injects a filler beneath your skin while you rest comfortably. She often injects the filler in several areas, depending on your goals. The treatment is typically fast, taking just a few minutes for each injection. 

What can I expect after undergoing dermal filler injections?

You might experience temporary side effects like redness or swelling after dermal filler injections. Applying an ice pack to the area helps reduce any swelling.

There’s no downtime after filler injections, so you can resume your daily routine afterward. The results are immediate, often lasting 6-12 months or longer. You may repeat filler injections as often as necessary. Call the Élan Aesthetics office anytime with questions.
