What you need to know about dermal filler treatment
You are in the right place if you have been considering dermal fillers but still have questions. At Biomend Aesthetics and Wellness of the Littleton, Colorado area, Kristen Coleman, PA-C, and her team are here to help you feel confident, informed, and excited about your aesthetic goals. Below, we have answered some of the most common questions from clients considering this cosmetic treatment at our clinic.
What exactly are dermal fillers, and how do they work?
Our team describes dermal fillers as gel-like substances injected beneath your skin to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Like our hyaluronic acid-based options, most fillers attract water to the area, plumping your skin and giving it a youthful, hydrated appearance.
What areas can dermal fillers treat?
Dermal fillers are extremely versatile and address many concerns, including cheek enhancement, jawline definition, lip plumping, smoothing under-eye hollows, reducing nasolabial folds (laugh lines), and even improving the appearance of aging hands.
Actual Patient Results
Are dermal fillers considered safe?
Absolutely! When administered by a qualified professional such as Kristen Coleman, PA-C, the FDA-approved dermal fillers have a strong safety history. Biomend Aesthetics and Wellness only uses high-quality, clinically tested products, and every treatment is tailored to suit your needs and anatomy. Safety and satisfaction are always our top priorities.
How long do the results last?
The longevity of your filler results depends on the type of filler used and the area treated. On average, our dermal fillers can last anywhere from six months to two years. Our Biomend Aesthetics and Wellness team works with you to create a personalized plan that helps maintain your results for as long as possible.
Will I look “overdone” or unnatural?
BioMend Aesthetics and Wellness’ philosophy is rooted in achieving natural, balanced results that enhance your best features without appearing artificial.
Is the treatment painful?
Most of our patients find the procedure to be very tolerable. Many dermal fillers are specifically formulated with lidocaine, a numbing agent, and we can also use a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. You will feel a little pinch or pressure, but the experience is quick and relatively painless.
What should I expect during recovery?
Recovery is usually minimal. You might experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects usually subside without further attention within a few days. BioMend provides aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
How do I know if dermal fillers are right for me?
The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation with a medical professional at BioMend. During your visit, she will listen to your concerns, assess your current facial structure, and recommend a customized treatment plan that aligns with your goals. Whether you want to rejuvenate or enhance, dermal fillers could be great!
