What to Expect Before Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers for acne scars are very simple and effective treatments.

Before the procedure begins your doctor will have a conversation with you about which acne scars are causing you the most grief. There could be some scars that you consider particularly problematic that you want taken care of first. After this brief discussion the procedure will begin.

The Procedure

After identifying the acne scars you want filled, the doctor will treat your skin to numb it and reduce the chance of bruising. Understand that there are some options if you’re worried about the pain of the procedure. Typically the doctor will apply ice and alcohol unless you ask for anything stronger.

The doctor begins the procedure with the areas you mentioned. The needle used in the treatment is very fine and, after injecting the dermal filler, the doctor will apply gauze to the area. After filling in all the scars that look like they would be good for the treatment the patient looks at themselves in the mirror and has the option of pointing out any existing problem areas. These areas will also be injected and the process continues until you’ve filled in everything that needs to be filled in.

After the Procedure

After the procedure, the doctor will give you an ice pack to hold against the treated areas. They could be a little red and bruised for up to a week. It’s important that you avoid any facial treatments, including facial massages, for the first two weeks after the procedure.

You also need to avoid exercising too much and drinking alcohol for the first 24 hours after the procedure. If you do notice bruising then you can use arnica gel and other arnica supplements to reduce bruising. Bromelain supplements and pineapple juice are two more ways to decrease bruising. You could also use makeup to hide the bruising if you wanted. You should also check the latest about the best scar creams by our great friends from myawesomebeauty.com.
