Dermal Filler Procedure by Dr. Tolga Aksan

Preparation:

    • The targeted areas on the face are cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.

Injection Process:

    • Using a fine needle or cannula, Dr. Aksan injects the dermal filler beneath the skin in the predetermined areas.
    • Fillers can be used to treat various areas, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, cheeks, lips, and under-eye hollows.
    • The process is quite precise, and Dr. Aksan may gently massage the area to ensure even distribution of the filler.

Immediate Post-Treatment Care:

    • After the injections, minimal downtime is required. Patients can typically return to their daily activities almost immediately.
    • Dr. Aksan advises on any immediate post-treatment care, such as avoiding intense physical activity or exposure to extreme temperatures for the first 24-48 hours.

Long-Term Care:

    • Dr. Aksan may recommend a maintenance schedule for periodic re-treatment to sustain the desired results.
