Dermal fillers are a cornerstone of non-surgical cosmetic procedures at Morpheus, offering results that enhance facial contours, smooth wrinkles, and restore youthful volume. Despite their popularity, misconceptions abound. At Morpheus Medical Aesthetics, we believe in educating our clients with facts to make informed decisions about their skincare. Here, we debunk the most common myths about dermal fillers. We understand it can be overwhelming so do not hesitate to schedule a consultation to learn more.
Myth 1: Fillers Are Unsafe
Fact: Dermal fillers have a strong safety profile when administered by qualified professionals. Fillers approved by health authorities such as the FDA undergo rigorous testing to ensure they are safe for use. The key to ensuring safety is choosing an experienced provider who understands facial anatomy and injects the correct product in the appropriate area.
Myth 2: Fillers Look Unnatural
Fact: The goal of fillers is not to change your face but to enhance your natural features. When administered correctly, fillers provide subtle improvements that rejuvenate the face without making it appear ‘done’ or artificial. Techniques have evolved significantly, focusing on strategic placements that complement the natural contours of your face.
Myth 3: Fillers Are Permanent
Fact: Most dermal fillers are not permanent. The majority are made from hyaluronic acid, which naturally breaks down in the body over time. Depending on the type of filler used, results can last from six months to two years before gradually diminishing.
Myth 4: Fillers Are Only for Women
Fact: Fillers are universally beneficial for both men and women seeking facial rejuvenation. The approach to injecting fillers can be tailored to enhance masculine or feminine features appropriately, ensuring that everyone can benefit from the aesthetic improvements fillers offer.
Myth 5: Fillers Are Painful
Fact: Most modern fillers contain lidocaine, a mild anesthetic, which helps minimize discomfort during the injection process. Additionally, providers often use numbing creams or ice to ease any discomfort. The experience may involve slight discomfort, but it is generally well tolerated.
Myth 6: Only Older People Need Fillers
Fact: While it’s true that fillers are popular among those experiencing signs of aging, younger individuals also use them for various reasons such as enhancing lip volume or contouring the facial structure. Fillers are versatile tools that can be used at different stages of life to address various aesthetic concerns.
