On the other hand, longer-lasting fillers like Volux and Sculptra can last up to 2 years or more. It’s important to note that touch-up treatments may be needed to maintain optimal results.

While dermal fillers are generally considered safe and well-tolerated, there are some potential side effects that patients should be aware of. These side effects are typically mild and temporary, resolving on their own within a few days to a week. Some common side effects of dermal fillers include:

• Bruising: This is a common side effect, especially around the injection site. It usually resolves on its own within a few days to a week.
• Swelling: Mild to moderate swelling can occur after filler injections. This typically goes away within a few days, but it can persist for up to a week in some cases.
• Redness and tenderness: The skin around the injection site may become red and tender immediately after the procedure. This usually resolves within a few days.
• Itching and dryness: Some individuals may experience itching or dryness at the injection site, which usually resolves on its own.
• Lumps or bumps: Occasionally, small lumps or bumps may form under the skin at the injection site. These are usually temporary and can be massaged out by the practitioner.
• Infection: While rare, infection is a potential risk with any injection procedure. Signs of infection include increased redness, swelling, warmth, and pain at the injection site. Prompt medical attention is needed if infection is suspected.
• Allergic reactions: Although uncommon, some people may be allergic to the filler material. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can include rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. Immediate medical attention is necessary if an allergic reaction occurs.
