Thinking about dermal fillers in Sorrento Valley? If so, you probably have an idea of what you want to change. Maybe you want to add volume to your lips or cheeks, or maybe you want more definition.
Before booking treatment, there’s one thing you want to do first: schedule a consultation.
A consultation is your chance to ask questions, talk about your goals, and make sure you understand what filler can do for you.
Which Filler Is Right for Me?
Not every filler works the same way. Many products, like Juvéderm and Restylane, are made with hyaluronic acid (HA), which adds soft, natural volume.
Other products like Radiesse are made with calcium hydroxylapatite, adds immediate volume and stimulates natural collagen production.
One of our injectors will assess your face and discuss your goals before recommending a specific product.
How Much Filler Do I Really Need?
More filler doesn’t mean better results. The amount you need depends on your anatomy and your goals.
Some areas may only need half of a syringe, while a more involved facial rejuvenation plan may require several syringes or multiple appointments.
If you’re new to dermal fillers in Sorrento Valley, a gradual, conservative approach is often best.
How Long Do Results Last?
There’s no one answer. Longevity depends on many different factors, including:
- The product
- Where it’s placed
- How deep it’s injected
- How much was used
Some fillers can last one to two years, while thinner filler only lasts six to nine months.
Knowing how long your results will last ahead of time can temper expectations while also ensuring you’re prepared for the necessary maintenance.
