Frequently Asked Questions

What is PRP dermal fillers?

Most fillers are hyaluronic acid (which, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve been hearing a lot about these days). Hyaluronic acid is what gives us that full, youthful-looking plumpness. In fillers, hyaluronic acid is cross-linked to give it volume and structure. Most aging is associated with volume loss, so we can inject fillers to decrease the appearance of aging. Another beautiful thing about hyaluronic acid fillers is that, if necessary, they can be reversed! So, they’re not too scary. Like everything on this list, fillers yield the best results when combined with other modalities on this list.

What can I expect?

In most injection areas, you will be numbed up first. The injection process is slightly more uncomfortable than with neurotoxins because we are adding volume, which creates a pressure sensation. As is the case with any procedure performed with a needle, there is a potential for bruising.

When will I see results?

Another wonder of fillers is immediate results! Many of them also draw in more water over a few days to weeks after injection, so results may become even be more dramatic.

How long do the results last?

Depending on the filler, the patient and location of injection, it can last anywhere from 6-24 months.

In what body areas can I get it?

Lips, cheeks and nasolabial folds (parentheses around the mouth) are some of the more common areas. Other possible areas include the under-eyes, earlobe, hands and marionette lines, to name a few.
