Dermal Fillers in Chicago Ridge, IL

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, and we use topical numbing agents and other techniques to ensure your comfort. After the treatment, some patients may experience minor swelling or bruising, which can be managed with ice packs and over-the-counter pain relievers.

There is typically no downtime after dermal filler treatment, and most patients can resume their normal activities immediately. However, you may experience some minor swelling or bruising, which can take a few days to subside.

The length of the procedure depends on the area being treated and the amount of filler needed. In general, the procedure can take anywhere from 15-60 minutes.

There are several types of dermal fillers available, each designed to target specific concerns and areas of the face. Here are some of the most common types of fillers and their uses:

1. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: These fillers are made from a natural substance found in the skin, and they are used to fill in lines, wrinkles, and add volume to the lips, cheeks, and under-eye area.
2. Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: These fillers stimulate collagen production and are used to treat moderate to severe wrinkles, such as smile lines and marionette lines, as well as to add volume to the cheeks.
3. Polylactic Acid Fillers: These fillers also stimulate collagen production and are used to treat deeper wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds, and to add volume to the cheeks.
4. PMMA Fillers: These fillers contain tiny spheres that stimulate collagen production and are used to treat deep wrinkles and acne scars.

The decision of which type of filler to use and where to place it depends on several factors, including the patient’s concerns, the area being treated, and the physician’s expertise. A qualified physician will evaluate your facial anatomy and consider your individual goals to determine the best type and amount of filler to use in each area of the face. The physician will also consider the specific properties of each filler to ensure that it is the best fit for your unique needs.

At Niwa, our team of experts has extensive experience in using different types of fillers to address a wide range of concerns. We take a personalized approach to each patient and work closely with them to achieve their desired results.

While EvexiPEL® Hormone Replacement Therapy is not directly related to dermal fillers, it can potentially help prolong the results of your treatment by improving overall health and wellness. Hormonal imbalances can affect the skin’s elasticity and overall appearance, so by restoring hormonal balance, EvexiPEL® can help improve the skin’s appearance and health. In addition, Hormone Replacement Therapy can improve energy levels, mood, and overall quality of life, which can lead to a healthier lifestyle and better maintenance of your dermal filler results. At Niwa, our team of experts can provide you with more information on how Hormone Replacement Therapy can complement your dermal filler treatment and help you achieve your best possible results.

IV Nutrition can potentially enhance and prolong the effects of dermal fillers by providing the body with the essential vitamins and nutrients needed for healthy skin and overall well-being. Dermal fillers work by restoring volume to the skin and improving its overall appearance, but to maintain the results, the skin needs to be healthy from the inside out. IV Nutrition provides a direct infusion of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and ensuring optimal absorption. This can help improve skin health, boost collagen production, and reduce inflammation, which can all contribute to prolonging the effects of dermal fillers. At Niwa, our team can work with you to create a customized IV Nutrition plan that complements your dermal filler treatment and helps you achieve your best possible results.
