Dermal fillers are a popular and powerful tool for reducing fine lines and other signs of aging. Unfortunately, there are widespread myths and misconceptions about them that spark unwarranted concern in some people. Premier Solutions & Weight Loss is proud to specialize in dermal fillers, so our experts are ready to debunk these myths and set the record straight once and for all.
Myth #1 – Dermal Fillers Will Make You Look ‘Fake’ or ‘Overdone’
A common stereotype is that those who get dermal fillers look “frozen” or “plastic.” In fact, this only occurs when dermal filler is done improperly. By working with licensed and experienced pros like Premier Solutions, you’ll always get the right kind and amount of filler to look your best without a “fake” or “plasticy” appearance.
Myth #2 – Dermal Fillers Will Hurt a Lot
Needles are scary, so it’s easy to see why some people would think the needles used to inject dermal fillers hurt. While there can be some mild pain associated with dermal fillers, the needles used are incredibly small and a numbing agent is commonly used, as well. These two factors combined mean there’s only slight discomfort associated with dermal fillers.
Myth #3 – Dermal Filler Is Permanent
In modern times, most dermal fillers are based on hyaluronic acid. This means they can be easily reversed by injecting hyaluronidase, which breaks down hyaluronic acid. This means that if you’re not happy or satisfied with your fillers or decide you no longer want them, you aren’t stuck with them.
Myth #4 – Dermal Filler Will Make Your Skin Saggy
A very common misconception is that dermal fillers will “stretch out” the skin and leave it looking saggy. In reality, an experienced provider will apply just the right amount of filler to the area, adding an appropriate amount of volume without stretching the skin. In addition, dermal fillers can increase collagen and elastin production, which further help to prevent saggy skin.
