Your dermal filler injections at Dana Point Dermatology are customized to meet your specific aesthetic goals and needs. Because the team uses hyaluronic acid and other soft fillers, a skin test isn’t needed prior to your cosmetic appointment. After cleaning your skin with an antibacterial agent, your clinician may apply a numbing agent to your skin to ease any discomfort prior to injecting the dermal fillers. Then, with a careful and attentive hand, your clinician injects the dermal filler into the desired areas to produce a subtle correction to rejuvenate your look. If pain is an issue for you during these treatments, Dana Point Dermatology has Pro-Nox, which is a half strength nitrous oxide device, to help ease the discomfort. As opposed to other methods of pain control, such as Valium, the Pro-Nox device is much safer and you are able to drive yourself home after the procedure without any residual effects. The entire procedure takes an hour or less. While you may experience some redness at the site of the injection, the results of your dermal filler treatment are immediate. With daily use of sunblock, your dermal fillers should help you retain a more revitalized look for a few months or as long as a year, depending on the type of filler used.
