Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the treatment involve?
Dermal filler treatments use a series of small injections, on numbed skin, to restore the hyaluronic acid. The body accepts this natural substance, and slowly absorbs it without a trace in several months. Enhanced length of results is very often achieved with each successive treatment. - How is Dermal Filling performed?
The skin is first numbed, to minimize any discomfort, and the filler is injected just under the skin surface to plump up the wrinkle being treated. Results are instant! - Are there side effects to the treatments?
Some temporary swelling and bruising can occur so it is recommended that the procedure be done at least two weeks prior to an event. - How much does it cost?
Dermal Fillers are dispensed and purchased by syringe. Cost depends on how many syringes of product are required to achieve desired results. It is important not to "skimp" on the amount of filler with the first use. This will ensure better long term results and will also save money in the long term. - What is the difference between the three brands of Dermal Fillers used?
The Dermal Fillers vary in cost, and in their ability to correct certain types of facial wrinkles. - How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal Fillers are made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. This substance is naturally found between the cells of human tissue, making it responsible for the plump and smooth appearance of youthful skin. Through the aging process, the skin loses its natural hyaluronic acid which can result in facial wrinkles, cheek sagging, lip lines, and chin furrows. - How will I know how much/what brand of Dermal Filler I will need?
Gianna provides free, individualized, one-on-one consultations that will determine the amount and type of Dermal Filler needed to reach your goals. - Who performs the treatment?
All treatments are performed personally by Dr. DeMario who has received post-residency training and certification in Dermal Filler injections. - How can Dermal Fillers improve my facial appearance?
Dermal Fillers can add fullness to the face in such areas as the cheek bones, lips, and chin. They are an excellent way to soften lines caused by skin sagging and volume loss with age (See "Conditions We Treat").
