Dermal Fillers

As we continue to age, the skin on our body can begin to sag and loosen. At New York Medicine Doctors, we can help patients dealing with issues such as this. Whether you are looking to enhance the skin around your hands, face, or neck, we have the treatment option for you. Dermal fillers can be used to deliver the results you have been searching for.

What Do Dermal Fillers Do?

If you’re unfamiliar with what dermal fillers are, we can help shed some light on them. These injections can be used for cosmetic purposes and help restore the self-confidence that aging has stolen from you. Below are some examples of what dermal fillers can be used for:

  • Plumped lips.
  • Enhance shallow contours.
  • Improve the appearance of scarring.
  • Soften facial creases.
  • Reduce wrinkles.

How Long Do They Last?

Before coming in for a dermal injection, our team wants to pass along information about how long the results last. It’s essential patients know that dermal fillers are not permanent before making a decision either way. In most cases, they will last for between 6 to 12 months. However, it is possible results remain for 2 to 5 years after the injections.

Are There Side Effects?

Much like with Botox injections, dermal fillers also come with a few potential side effects. While our team will do everything possible to mitigate and avoid them, they can sometimes not be avoided. Examples of the side effects to be wary of before your appointment include:

  • Redness.
  • Swelling.
  • Tenderness.
  • Bruising.
