Dermal Filler
What to Expect:

There are several types of fillers available on the market, each formulated for specific concerns. Here at Monarch Medispa, we use a Hyaluroinc Acid Filler (Restylane): Ideal for restoring volume and hydration.​​ Restylane Kysse (lip volume & lines), Restylane Lyft (cheeks/midface), Restylane Refyne (mild-mod lines), Restylane Defyne (deeper lines/folds/chin), and Restylane Contour (cheeks).

​

1. Arrival and Preparation

When you arrive at your dermal filler appointment, your provider will review the steps with you again and address any last-minute questions. The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed to remove bacteria and reduce the risk of infection.

​

To minimize discomfort, a topical numbing cream is usually applied for about 15–20 minutes. Some filler products also contain lidocaine, a mild anesthetic, to further reduce discomfort during the dermal filler procedure.

​

2. Marking the Injection Sites

Your injector will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy and mark the precise points for injection. These markings serve as a guide to ensure accurate, symmetrical placement of the filler, contributing to natural-looking results. This careful mapping is crucial in delivering the enhancements you’re looking for while maintaining facial harmony.

​

3. Injection Process

The actual dermal filler procedure typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the size and location of the treatment area. Using a very fine needle or cannula, the filler is injected beneath the skin with careful, controlled movements.

​

You may experience a brief pinch or gentle pressure during treatment. Numbing agents and a vibrating distraction tool are used to enhance comfort, making discomfort generally minimal and well tolerated.
