Injectables & Fillers Miami

While some people look forward to seeing the fine lines and wrinkles that come with aging, others hate seeing those problem spots staring back at them in the mirror. While you can use creams and other products to cope with some of the signs that you see, there are non-surgical alternatives that work more effectively and provide better results in less time. You don’t need to worry about getting a facelift or choosing the right surgeon either. At Miami Medical Spa, we offer both Injectables and fillers that offer the big results that you want in as little as one appointment.

Looking at the different types of injectables is one of the first things you should do before making an appointment with our office. Though many fillers use similar formulas and target the same areas, they use different trademark names such as Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, Perlane, and Belotero Balance. We recommend that you talk with your doctor about your symptoms to find which fillers or injectables are suitable for you. The best one depends on whether you have moderate or severe lines and wrinkles, suffer from certain medical conditions, have smoke lines, want to reduce the appearance of scars or want to add fullness to your cheeks and other parts of your face.

Choosing the right fillers requires working with your doctor to go over the pros and cons of each one compared to what you want and need. If you have deep lines on your face and neck due to dehydration, the doctor will recommend something different than if you want to add more definition to your face. Those with fine lines need a treatment that will hydrate and plump the skin to hide those lines. The doctor can also recommend different treatments to hide the scars that you have or add more volume to your face.

If you ever had a shot before, you can expect to feel the same amount of general pain when getting an injectable or filler. Before applying the treatment that you choose, the doctor will use an antibacterial product to clean your skin and remove any germs. Many patients opt for a topical anesthetic to reduce their pain. Once the doctor applies the anesthetic, he will gently touch your skin to make sure it works. Some doctors apply a cold tool to the skin that numbers it before using the injection. Depending on the size of the problem area, you may need one or more injections. The doctor will slowly massage the skin to make sure that the filler spreads through the area. Though you may feel some minor pain from a filler or injectable, most claim that it’s similar to a bee sting.

The side effects that you may experience after fillers and injectables are minimal. You may experience some inflammation and/or pain, but this is more common among those who have a large area treated. The doctor will make sure that you do not experience any excess bleeding and talk with you about your level of pain before you leave. Some patients notice tiny red marks on their faces at the injection sites, which go away on their own within a few hours. You may notice some mild itching as the skin heals. The skin may feel tender too. Even among patients who experienced these side effects, many noted that they were mild and easy to handle.

Though many people use injectables and fillers to fight the signs of aging, these treatments can help those with different types of scars too. It’s one of the best options for those with deep acne scars on their faces and those who feel self-conscious because of surgical and non-surgical scars. Before having one of these procedures done, you need to talk with your doctor about what results you hope to see to make sure that you choose the right one. We offer a wide range of treatments and products from some of the top companies. Whether you have sunken cheeks that change the way your face looks, fine lines and wrinkles or deep scars, call Miami Medical Spa to schedule an appointment for fillers or injectables
