Frequently Asked Questions

 Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are typically made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration and elasticity. When injected, dermal fillers fill in lines and hollow areas, giving the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.

 Yes, dermal fillers are generally safe when administered by a qualified and experienced practitioner. At Ellcee Aesthetics, we use only high-quality, FDA-approved fillers and follow strict safety protocols to ensure the best results and minimize risks. Some common side effects include minor swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site, which typically subside within a few days. 

 The longevity of dermal filler results can vary depending on the type of filler used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. On average, most dermal fillers last between 6 to 18 months. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain the desired look and keep your skin looking youthful and refreshed. 

 It's common to feel nervous about the pain, but most clients find the discomfort to be minimal. At Ellcee Aesthetics, we use fine needles and apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure you are as comfortable as possible during the procedure. The injections themselves feel like a slight pinch, and the numbing cream significantly reduces any discomfort. 

  Your satisfaction is our top priority. During your consultation, we discuss your goals and expectations in detail to ensure we understand the look you desire. Dermal fillers are not permanent, and one of their benefits is that they can be adjusted. If you are not happy with the results, we can modify the treatment or use an enzyme called hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler, restoring your original appearance. 

 If you are over 18, in good general health, and looking to address signs of aging such as wrinkles, loss of volume, or uneven facial contours, you may be a good candidate for dermal fillers. During your initial consultation at Ellcee Aesthetics, Tania will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and determine the best treatment plan for you. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident and informed before proceeding with any treatment.
