**Dermal fillers **can rejuvenate your face and minimize signs of aging. Fillers offer long-lasting results that shape, lift, and volumize your face to restore a youthful look. We get asked a lot of questions about fillers, so here are answers to your top questions about dermal fillers.

## What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectables that can add volume to your cheeks, chin, lips, and more. Most fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that’s already naturally present in your skin. It hydrates the skin, improves skin health, and adds fullness to key areas of the face.

## Why Should I Get Fillers?
Fillers can change your relationship with your skin. They combat some of the most common signs of aging such as folds, wrinkles, thinning lips, and hollow cheeks or temples. Fillers can restore volume loss, giving you back a youthful glow. We recommend fillers to smooth away wrinkles and correct folds, as well as fill cheeks and plump the lips. Fillers can also add volume under the eyes and even diminish the appearance of scars.

## How Long Do Fillers Last?
Over time, your body will naturally break down the hyaluronic acid in fillers. Results last up to 2 years, depending on the treatment area, the type of filler, and how much filler is used. Other factors like your age and lifestyle can also impact how long your fillers will last.

## Is It Painful?
Just like any injectable, you can expect some mild discomfort during the appointment. When fillers are injected into target areas you’ll feel a pinch or prick. You may also notice some swelling, redness, or sensitivity at the injection site for several hours after treatment. Within one to two days these side effects disappear, and you shouldn’t feel any additional discomfort. 

## Is There Downtime After Fillers?
There’s no downtime after dermal fillers! You can go right back to your normal routines immediately after treatment. However, it takes a couple of days for the fillers to settle, so we recommend avoiding strenuous activity for 24 hours. You may also notice some swelling or light bruising at the injection site. If you have an important event coming up, make sure you get your filers at least three or four days before the event.
