Fillers Specialist in Poughkeepsie, NY

We believe in comprehensive health care that addresses not only your medical needs but also your aesthetic and wellness concerns. With a focus on personalized care, our professional team can provide you with a range of services including the administration of dermal fillers.

Dermal fillers are used to enhance facial volume and contour, reduce wrinkles, and restore a youthful appearance. Ideal for cosmetic dermatology, these fillers are designed to be injected beneath the skin to restore volume and fullness in the face.

At our medical practice, we use fillers made from various materials, including hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and provides volume. Other fillers are composed of synthetic substances like calcium hydroxylapatite and poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulate the body’s production of collagen. We also offer autologous fillers, which are made from the patient’s fat cells, providing a more natural option.

Although dermal fillers are generally safe, they do carry some risks, including bruising, redness, pain, swelling, and in rare cases, serious complications like infection or allergic reactions. We thoroughly discuss potential risks and benefits with our patients before proceeding with any treatment. It’s also essential that we maintain open communication with our patients, setting realistic expectations about the results of dermal filler treatments.

Dermal fillers are a popular treatment option for smoothing wrinkles or enhancing facial features. However, the longevity of these fillers can vary depending on factors such as the filler type, the area treated, and individual characteristics like age, skin type, and metabolic rate.

We often use Hyaluronic acid fillers, which can last between six to 18 months. These are great for plumping lips and smoothing out wrinkles and lines. However, they might break down quicker in areas with high mobility like the lips, and last longer in areas with less movement, such as the cheeks.

Alternatively, we can use calcium hydroxylapatite fillers that typically last for 12–18 months, or poly-lactic acid fillers, which can last up to two years and are used to treat deeper facial wrinkles. The latter stimulates collagen production, providing a gradual, natural-looking enhancement.

The individual’s metabolic rate also significantly affects the longevity of dermal fillers. Therefore, individuals with faster metabolic rates may see the effects of the treatment for a shorter period. Lifestyle choices like smoking and too much sun exposure can also decrease the longevity of dermal fillers.

At Hampton Health Wellness Aesthetics, we ensure that our injection technique is done properly to minimize filler migration and extend its life. Regular maintenance and follow-up treatments are necessary to maintain the results. We also provide post-treatment instructions to help you maximize the effects of the filler by minimizing migration and inflammation and promoting skin elasticity.

Remember, although dermal fillers offer a temporary solution for wrinkle treatment or volume enhancement, they are not permanent. Always consult with our qualified healthcare providers to discuss the most suitable type of filler and treatment plan for you.

Dermal fillers can be a wonderful solution for those looking to rejuvenate their skin and restore lost volume, but they may not be suitable for everyone. When considering this treatment, we encourage you to consult with our experienced healthcare professionals who can guide you through the various factors that may determine your suitability.

Medical Conditions:
Patients with active infections, bleeding disorders, or those taking anticoagulant medications should avoid fillers, as they could potentially exacerbate these conditions.

Skin Conditions:
If you have active acne, skin rashes open wounds, or a history of herpes simplex virus (HSV), rosacea, dermatitis, or keloid or hypertrophic scarring, we recommend avoiding fillers to prevent potential complications.

Treatments and Procedures:
If you’ve recently undergone chemical peels, laser treatments, radiotherapy, or surgery, our healthcare professionals will need to assess the impact these procedures might have on your suitability for fillers. These treatments could potentially disrupt the healing process, interfere with the effectiveness of radiation therapy, or compromise the results or healing of surgical procedures.

Anatomical Considerations:
Certain anatomical factors such as thin skin, sunken facial features, asymmetry, and muscle movement can influence the outcome of dermal fillers.

Other Factors:
Safety is our primary concern. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or a minor, we advise against the use of dermal fillers due to safety and ethical considerations. We also caution against the use of fillers by those with unrealistic or excessive expectations about the results, or individuals with body dysmorphic disorder.

We prioritize your health and overall well-being, offering a wide range of medical and cosmetic treatments to keep you looking and feeling your best. We understand that signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines can be a concern, which is why we provide both dermal fillers and Botox treatments at our practice.

Our Botox treatments involve the use of Botulinum toxin, a neurotoxic protein that reduces wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily paralyzing specific facial muscles. The procedure is quick, typically lasting only 10-20 minutes, and the effects can last for about three to four months. This treatment is ideal for dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle contractions, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.

We also offer dermal fillers, often used to treat static wrinkles. The procedure usually takes 15-60 minutes, with results lasting from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used.

While both Botox and dermal fillers are designed to rejuvenate your appearance and restore a youthful look, they function in different ways and target different types of wrinkles. Both treatments can also be combined for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
