Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dermal filler?
Dermal filler injections are a nonsurgical cosmetic treatment that helps with volume loss. A medical professional injects the fillers into the desired area to plump and “fill” the loss. Dermal fillers are temporary and require regular visits if you want to maintain the results.
There are different types of dermal filler available on the market–hyaluronic acid, poly-L lactic acid, CaHA, PMMA, the list goes on. While the ingredients differ, they have one thing in common. They are all biodegradable and have minimal side effects.
Kala Beauty offers hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. These are all FDA-approved and are considered safer than surgical enhancements.
What is Belotero dermal filler?
Belotero is a brand of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler. HA is a naturally occurring substance that our bodies use as a cushion and lubricant. As a dermal filler, it plumps the treated area and smoothes fine lines as wrinkles.
Belotero is a low-density injectable which makes it more suitable for filling in finer lines and wrinkles. You should see results immediately, but it will take a couple of weeks before you get the final results.
The brand has several products that include: Belotero Balance, Belotero Basic, Belotero Soft, Belotero Intense, and Belotero Volume.
What is Juvederm dermal filler?
Juvederm is a brand of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler. As an HA dermal filler, it does the same job as Belotero. It can be used to smoothen wrinkles and fine lines, fill volume loss, and augment facial features.
Juvederm has a higher density formulation which makes it more suitable for deep and severe wrinkles and folds. Since it’s typically used to treat more severe areas, the injections are much deeper. You should see results immediately, but it may look overfilled for the first few days. Over time the filler will settle and you can see the final results.
The brand’s products include Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm Volbella XC, Juvederm XC, Juvederm Vollure XC, and Juvederm Voluma XC.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance. In humans, you can find it in your eyes, joints, and skin. Its main job is to lubricate and hydrate. In the skin, HA helps the skin stay supple and flexible. When your skin is well-hydrated, you are less likely to produce wrinkles and fine lines. Given these benefits, HA is a popular ingredient in skincare and cosmetic treatments.
Is treatment with Juvederm/ Belotero injectable painful?
That would depend on the desired treatment, injection location, and personal pain tolerance levels. You may experience mild discomfort during the injection. If you don’t react well to needles, you can ask the medical professional to anesthetize the treatment area first.
What are the side effects of dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers have minimal side effects. You may experience bruising, redness, itchiness, and swelling at the beginning, but these will calm down in a matter of days and weeks. Severe complications are exclusive to the permanent filler or excessive filler use. If you overly depend on filler, you may notice facial asymmetry, acne, and filler clumps. To avoid side effects, follow the recommendation of the medical professional and the aftercare instructions.
Are dermal fillers worth it?
That may vary depending on the person. If you:
- Have a job that depends on maintaining your appearance
- Enjoy looking your best
- Want to address a long-time insecurity with volume loss and wrinkles
Dermal fillers are a great solution and definitely worth it. They are temporary, affordable, and far more accessible than plastic surgery.
What dermal fillers should I get?
That would depend on your budget and what you want to achieve. There are different types of dermal fillers and they all have their pros and cons. If you are on the fence, you can consult our medical professsional to better understand what different fillers can offer you.
How long does dermal filler treatment take?
The duration of the injection process depends on what you want to achieve. It could take at least 15 minutes to do and about 4 weeks until the dermal filler settles down. For more accurate timelines, consult your medical professional.
Does the dermal filler correction last forever?
No. Any corrections or changes are temporary. Your body will break down the filler. If you want to maintain the results, touch-ups are required.
How long do dermal fillers really last?
There are temporary and semi-permanent fillers available on the market. The temporary ones could last from 6 to 12 months. While the semi-permanent ones could last from 2 to 5 years. Your metabolism and activity could also affect the longevity of your dermal filler. Consult your medical professional to get a more accurate timeline.
Do fillers ever go away?
Yes! They do. They break down faster in the active areas of your face. For most people that means around your eyes and mouth.
Dermal filler aftercare?
Dermal fillers take a while to heal and settle down. You won’t see the final results of your treatment until weeks later. To ensure you don’t prolong the healing stage or ruin the treatment, follow these dermal filler aftercare instructions:
- No alcohol – Do not drink alcohol before or after your treatment. It may lead to bruising.
- No intense heat – Avoid the sun, hot tubs, and the like. The increase in blood pressure may lead to bruising and redness.
- No strenuous activity – Avoid strenuous activities like exercise for the first 24 hours. The change in blood pressure could lead to bruising and the movement can encourage the filler to shift.
- No additional pressure – After your treatment, do not apply pressure on the injected area for 3 to 5 days. If filler is on your face, try to sleep on your back instead of your side.
- No harsh skincare – Avoid using harsh skincare. Products with AHA, retinol, vitamin C, and glycolic acid should step aside for gentle cleansers and moisturizers for the first 24 hours.
- No makeup – After treatment, keep a bare face. Do not apply any oil-based makeup.
- No spa treatments – Facials, massages, and saunas are off-limits. It may cause redness and bruising.
- Stay hydrated – Support the healing process by staying well-hydrated and rested.
- Apply cool compress – Periodically apply a cool compress for 5 to 10 minutes every couple of hours when you first get your treatment. It will help with the swelling and bruising. After 24 hours, you can stop. But if you still experience swelling, you can apply the cool compress on a need-basis.
- Take OTC medication as needed – The dermal filler pain varies depending on treatment location and natural tolerance. If you experience pain, you can take OTC medication like paracetamol. For more detailed instructions, consult your medical professional.
