Baltimore Dermal Filler Specialist
Dr. Shermak has helped many Baltimore Dermal Filler patients. Please read more about what to expect from the procedure below.
What is Dermal Filler?
As we age, fullness of the face decreases. This leads to a deflated, older appearance. Dermal fillers may be injected into the face in a routine office visit to reduce the appearance of facial deflation and wrinkles. These fillers include hyaluronic acid products such as Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm, and they all include Lidocaine for comfort. Restylane has been around the longest. It has the smallest molecular composition, and is best for fine lines, like those in the face and lip area, and also in smoothing the junction between the lower eyelid and cheek fullness, with reduction of dark circles under the eyes. Juvederm and Perlane are similar in nature and have larger molecular composition. They are optimal for deeper lines, like the folds between the nose and lips (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, and deep furrows between the brows. Juvederm and Perlane are also excellent for creating a fuller lip.
Who is a good candidate for Dermal Filler?
Men and women in their 30’s and older who are looking to improve facial fullness and reduce wrinkles. During the initial consultation you will discuss with Dr. Shermak what you would like to improve so she can understand your expectations and determine how to best achieve your desired result. At that visit, the treatment may take place. A second treatment is recommended 4 to 6 months later to achieve optimal results.
What is the recovery like after Dermal Filler treatment?
You may experience temporary swelling, numbness, and bruising that require head elevation, ice packs and massage with Arnica Montana herbal supplementation for several days. Most resume regular activities by the following day.
The way you look and feel directly affects your self-confidence. In addition to treating Baltimore Dermal Filler patients, Dr. Shermak takes care of many Baltimore Sculptra, Botox, Blepharoplasty, Brow Lift, Facelift, Facial Fat Grafting and Facial Liposuction patients.
