Dermal Fillers in Fort Wayne, IN

Dermal fillers (sometimes known as wrinkle fillers) are often utilized to replenish lost facial volume. Faces often lose volume for a number of reasons, but weight loss and age are the leading causes. This simple treatment at NoSweat Fort Wayne works by incorporating the liquid filler under the surface of the skin to fill in areas lacking volume and/or shape. Fillers are a promising, nonsurgical option for Fort Wayne, IN men and women wanting to even out sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines to create a younger-looking appearance. Dermal fillers can also be incorporated into other cosmetic treatments to reveal the results of a traditional facelift without undergoing surgery, the risk of scarring, and the required downtime that follows. There are a variety of fillers that may help meet your specific goals and desires. To find out which injectable fillers are right for you, we invite you to visit NoSweat Fort Wayne in Indiana where Dr. Philip Rettenmaier can help you learn more.

Before your injection, Dr. Rettenmaier will consult with you to learn more about your aesthetic goals, and determine which product will best achieve them. At the time of the actual procedure, Dr. Rettenmaier will use numbing cream as an anesthetic to minimize the discomfort of the injections. Dr. Rettenmaier will use his experience to determine how much is appropriate and will continuously and gently inject it via a very fine needle. Half or an entire syringe could be used, depending on the desired result. Fillers can be injected in our Fort Wayne, IN office in a brief timeframe. Because of the anesthetic, the process is usually pretty tolerable and does not require downtime. You can expect swelling and bruising immediately after, but these symptoms will fade within a couple of days. Results typically last from three months to a full year depending on the type of filler used and the area of injection. To maintain optimal results, Dr. Rettenmaier may recommend touch-ups.

How much do dermal fillers cost?
The cost of a dermal filler treatment will vary depending on the type used and how much is needed. In your initial consultation, your injector will develop a treatment plan that best matches your needs. After this, your injector will also give you an estimated cost for your treatment and discuss any specials we are offering.

How do I know which injectable dermal filler is right for me?
The type of filler used for your treatment will depend on the area being treated and your wanted outcome. Depending on whether you would like to address fine lines or are wanting to get fuller lips, your injector will ask about your needs before suggesting the correct filler for you. Now that there are so many dermal fillers available, it may be overwhelming to select which one is better for your needs, which is why we work hard to make sure you experience results that put a smile on your face.

What is the difference between wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers?
A wrinkle relaxer, such as BOTOX®, treats fine lines and wrinkles (especially on the brow and near the eyes) by limiting the movement of facial muscles. Fillers add volume to fill in wrinkles, fine lines, and depressions. Dermal fillers can also be used to add more volume to your lips and cheeks, plus rejuvenate the hands.

How long will the results last?
How long your results last will depend on what brand(s) is used and where it is placed. In some people, results may last for a year, while others might need another treatment after a few months. Follow-up injections can be performed at our practice in order to sustain your improvements.

What areas of my face can be treated with dermal fillers?
Injectable fillers can address signs of aging in your face by adding volume or smoothing static lines. Fillers can be injected into mild to moderate marionette, parentheses, as well as fine lines around your mouth and nose. Also, they can restore volume to your lips and cheeks.

If you are frustrated with the side effects of aging, but you are intimidated by the thought of a surgical facelift, then dermal fillers could be the perfect solution for you.
