Dermal fillers are injectables administered to specific areas of facial skin that are experiencing volume loss or wrinkles. While there is little to no pain associated with treatment, you may feel a slight pinching in the injection site. Dr. Moran has a numbing agent she can administer to the treatment area for improved comfort during the procedure. Treatment sessions are relatively short, but will vary based on the severity and quality of skin. There is no set downtime required afterwards, and you should be able to return to your normal daily activities in the Boston area. However, you may experience some minor bruising or swelling at the injection site, but this should soon subside. Results may vary depending on the dermal filler being used. They will also vary for each person, and the concern being treated. However, most people can notice and enjoy improvements immediately afterwards, and results tend to gradually improve. It is important to have realistic goals and expectations for treatment, and also keep in mind that results created will not be permanent. Follow-up treatments may help achieve and maintain the best results.
