Tissue Fillers FAQs

Women and men considering tissue fillers often have questions concerning their treatment. On this page, we've responded to some of the most frequently asked questions from patients at our practice.

Am I a candidate for tissue fillers?

Like BOTOX® Cosmetic in Denver, tissue fillers are an excellent option for women and men with varying skin types who notice early signs of aging, but are not yet ready for surgical procedures. This safe and effective treatment is easily incorporated into the schedules of people with busy lifestyles who want to rejuvenate their facial appearance quickly and effectively. Ideal tissue filler candidates are people who lead active and healthy lifestyles but feel their outward appearance doesn't match their youthful energy, or who simply want to enhance the results of their recently completed facial cosmetic surgery.

Which tissue fillers do you use, and what areas of the face do they treat?

We offer a range of tissue fillers, including:

• Sculptra® Aesthetic
• Restylane®
• Radiesse® Volumizing Filler
• JUVÉDERM® XC

At our Denver practice, we evaluate your face carefully in order to select the right filler for achieving your aesthetic goals. These fillers can be used to reduce the appearance of deep creases and folds, crow's feet, and facial lines and wrinkles. Almost any area of the face can benefit from treatment with tissue fillers, and each product possesses a unique set of benefits. Best of all, results are immediate.

What is the treatment process like?

Treatment with tissue fillers requires no anesthesia, and no surgical incisions occur during the procedure. Tissue fillers are injected using a very thin needle to direct the filler to the targeted areas of the face. Some patients report mild discomfort during treatment, and we typically offer local numbing agents or a nerve block, depending on the area treated and filler used.

How do you choose the areas to treat?

We meet with you to discuss your cosmetic concerns. After analyzing your face, we map strategic points on your face to determine the most effective locations for injections. This "map" is personalized to your specific goals and skin.

What is the recovery process like, and how soon can I return to work?

One of the benefits of tissue fillers is the relatively simple recovery process. Women and men typically experience no side effects, and any redness or swelling that occurs typically subsides soon after treatment, although some bruising may occur. Most patients are able to return to work immediately after treatment, making this a popular "lunchtime procedure" for people with busy lifestyles.

How often do I need to repeat the treatment?

Depending on the filler, the results may last from 6 months to as long as a year or even longer. As part of our protocol for skin care in Denver, we provide individualized recommendations for maintaining your rejuvenated, refreshed appearance.

Are there any safety concerns?

Complications due to tissue fillers are very rare. Most women and men experience either no side effects or minor redness, swelling or bruising that soon subsides following treatment.

Are there any complementary non-surgical options?

Our patients can often achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation by combining BOTOX Cosmetic with an injectable filler such as JUVÉDERM. Because these solutions treat different types of wrinkles and concerns, they complement each other for beautiful results that look natural. We provide personalized treatment plans to ensure that our patients benefit from the most effective procedure combinations to match their cosmetic needs.
