We sat down with our very own Advanced Aesthetics Injector, Rachel Visconti, at our Westchase location for a fun and informative deep dive into the world of dermal fillers. From what they are to why you might want them; Rachel shared her expertise and gave us some exciting insights about what’s trending in the aesthetic world! Ready to learn? Let’s dive in.
So, What Exactly Are Dermal Fillers?
If you’re curious about dermal fillers, you’re in the right place! In our latest video, Rachel breaks it down for us. Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to add volume to your face, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. But here’s the thing: Not all fillers are created equal. Some products are more “robust,” meaning they stay in place and work great for contouring. Others are a bit more flexible and spread out, making them perfect for hydration. The key takeaway? Your injector tailors the treatment to your skin’s unique needs.
Who Are Dermal Fillers For?
In Rachel’s expert opinion, pretty much everyone. Whether you’re looking to add some plump to your lips, smooth out nasolabial folds (those smile lines), or restore volume to areas of your face that have naturally lost it over time—fillers can be a game-changer.
While lip fillers are undoubtedly the most popular choice (Rachel herself loves working on them!), there’s been a noticeable shift in the industry towards full-face transformations.
“I like to treat the face as a whole,” says Rachel. “It’s about creating harmony and balance, not just focusing on one area. I like to sprinkle fillers across the face, addressing volume loss wherever it’s needed.” This holistic approach is what’s making full-face transformations such a sought-after trend in the world of aesthetics.
Why Should You Get Dermal Fillers?
We all know that self-care isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good, too. Dermal fillers are a way to enhance your natural beauty and give your face the support it needs. Whether you’re treating yourself for a special occasion or just embracing the power of confidence, fillers can give you that refreshed, youthful look without surgery.
But before you book your appointment, Rachel does have a little advice.
“I always tell my patients to avoid scheduling filler appointments right before big events. You’ll want to give yourself 5 to 7 days of downtime to let any swelling or bruising subside.”
Swelling usually lasts 1 to 3 days, with lips taking about two weeks to fully settle. Bruising is common too, but it’s typically gone in about a week.
