Dermal Fillers

Topical Numbing Agents

Interestingly enough, this is one of the least sensitive areas to be injected on the face. However, before your first appointment we will ask that you arrive 30 minutes early and we will apply a topical anesthetic to the area. This will make the process very comfortable for you. After you have been with us once we will call you in the topical anesthetic to a local compounding pharmacy.

Procedure Time

30 - 40 minutes

Results

Most clients who receive dermal fillers in their tear troughs will notice their results immediately following injection. Every product (listed below) is going to have a different lasting effect. Often, the more you keep up with doing your dermal fillers the longer they will last. On average patients tend to have their results for about 14 - 16 months.

Downtime

This treatment is very low on downtime. This area is a little more vascular that other areas on the face and chances of bruising are a little bit higher. Since the area is so thin you may notice swelling lasting a few days longer than other areas of the face. Both (bruising and swelling) can be considered normal and will not augment your results. Please do not schedule appointments for dermal fillers if you have a big event (wedding, photos, dates, etc.) within 10 - 14 days of your appointment. You may not be ‘picture perfect’ during this time period.
