If you\u2019ve been considering dermal fillers<\/a> to plump up your skin and reduce or remove fine lines and wrinkles, you may be hesitant to commit to treatment due to misinformation. The great news is that while there may be a lot of confusion out there about this safe, effective procedure, much of what you may have heard may not be true. Here\u2019s a closer look at five myths about dermal fillers, and the face-saving facts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Dermal Fillers are Permanent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although dermal fillers create a beautiful, natural looking transformation, they are not permanent. Most treatments last between 6 and 18 months, and while that may seem like a downside for some, consider this: if you\u2019d like to change anything about your results, you can easily increase or decrease the amount of fillers in a relatively short amount of time. Furthermore, fillers are also reversible, so if you aren\u2019t happy with your results at all, they can be dissolved as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dermal Fillers Look Fake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fillers and injectables often get a bad rap for looking fake or overdone, but the good news is that in the hands of a skilled professional, this isn\u2019t usually the case.  Your dentist is extremely familiar with the musculature of the face, and as a result, knows where and how much filler to inject to give you the results you want without looking obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dermal Fillers Contain Neurotoxins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Neurotoxins are completely safe for use in injectable cosmetics; however, dermal fillers do not<\/em> contain them. Instead, they typically use products like hyaluronic acid, which is a sugar that is naturally found in your skin. This means that it\u2019s completely biocompatible and just like neurotoxins injections, perfectly safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dermal Fillers Require a Long Recovery Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike surgery, dermal filler injections don\u2019t require a lengthy downtime. While you may experience a little soreness or bruising following your treatment, you are free to resume normal activities with the exception of exercising, drinking alcohol, or excessive sun exposure, all of which you can return to after 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dermal Fillers Can Be Injected by Anyone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this day and age of med-spas and beauty salons that offer dermal fillers, it\u2019s important to understand who<\/em> is performing your injections before settling down in their treatment chair. The truth is, while nearly anyone can become certified to inject fillers, this can be extremely dangerous. Receiving injections from a qualified dentist is a safe choice, because your dentist is held to the highest professional standards, knows the musculature of the face better than most, and has undergone extensive training to offer this treatment. So when you receive fillers from your dentist, you can rest assured that you\u2019re in capable, trustworthy hands!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
