Dermal fillers are one of our most popular anti-aging and skincare treatments. Some patients come to us fearful over what they’ve heard in the news. There are many myths surrounding dermal fillers. OMNI SCULPT MD Medical Spa in Dallas, TX, provides knowledge debunking some of the most popular dermal filler myths. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
Myth #1: There’s no difference among dermal fillers
Contrary to popular belief, dermal fillers vary in composition, endurance, and texture. We have hyaluronic acid fillers like the Juvederm Collection of Fillers, calcium hydroxylapatite fillers like Radiesse, and polylactic acid fillers like Sculptra. Each caters to different needs, and not every patient will find the same one suitable.
Moreover, a single filler cannot be used for every part of the face. Certain fillers are FDA-approved to treat specific areas and problems. For example, a filler suitable for the lips may not work for the jawline as they have a softer texture. Our team customizes your dermal fillers with your needs and goals.
Myth #2: Dermal fillers give a fake look
You might have heard that dermal fillers can make you appear plastic or frozen. However, with a licensed and expert professional, you can achieve natural results. Our medical professional can inject the suitable filler and quantity to enhance your features. We will never make you look like you stepped out of a cartoon. Our team wants to help you look and feel as confident as possible.
Myth #3: Dermal fillers can substitute a surgical facelift
Dermal fillers can enhance volume and reduce fine lines and wrinkles but can’t replace a facelift. Facelifts are ideal for patients with severe laxity, helping to tighten and remove excess tissue and sagging skin. While dermal filler results last 6 to 18 months, facelift outcomes last over a decade. Many patients love that dermal fillers last a long time without offering a permanent solution.
Myth #4: Dermal fillers are extremely painful
Most people find dermal fillers bearable. Despite the use of needles, their small size and method make it less painful. We know the most effective ways to lower the pain when receiving a dermal filler treatment.
Myth #5: The more dermal filler, the better
The phrase “The more, the merrier” doesn’t apply to dermal fillers. To prevent an artificial look, our injectors use the appropriate amount of filler that suits your facial structure. We won’t ever pump a bunch of random fillers into your body.
Myth #6: Anti-aging skincare products offer the same results
While skincare products enhance the appearance of dermal fillers, they can’t replace their effects. A good skincare routine can slow down skin aging and improve your filler results. Contact us today to book a complimentary skin consultation.
Myth #7: All fillers are permanent and irreversible
Most fillers are hyaluronic acid-based and can be reversed with an injectable called hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. If you hate the look of your dermal fillers, talk to us. We want you to feel happy with your anti-aging treatments.
Myth #8: Fillers will stretch and droop my skin
This is a common misconception that fillers stretch and droop your skin. When expertly done, dermal fillers add subtle volume without stretching the skin. Also, they are made of natural molecules, improving collagen and elastic production while reducing skin laxity.
Myth #9: Anyone can inject dermal fillers
Although many spas, physicians, nurses, and dentists offer dermal fillers, it requires an experienced professional to achieve optimal results and uphold safety protocols. Our medical spa team is committed to excellent patient care and results.
Myth #10: Dermal fillers and neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport are identical
They are different injectable treatments with distinct functions. Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators used to reduce dynamic fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles. They can’t always treat static wrinkles. Dermal fillers can treat static lines and wrinkles and add volume to various areas.
