Dermal Fillers Sacramento

Am I a candidate for dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers Sacramento add volume to the face to improve facial contours and soften wrinkles. If you would like to balance your facial features by subtly adding volume to strategic areas of your face you should consult with Dr. Kaniff about your dermal filler options.

Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish. Shadows develop in areas associated with volume loss such as the cheeks, chin, and temples. The prominence of wrinkles and folds such as parentheses lines and marionette lines begin to appear around the nose and mouth. Loss of lip volume is associated with flattening of the Cupids bow area, vertical wrinkles and decreased volume and wrinkling of the red portion of the lip.

The Dermal Fillers Sacramento Consultation

At your consultation, Dr Kaniff will evaluate your areas of concern and develop a comprehensive treatment plan addressing those concerns. With a wide variety of FDA approved fillers at his disposal, the customized treatment plan Dr Kaniff recommends will incorporate the best combination of fillers to achieve a natural-looking result.

The Dermal Fillers Sacramento Procedure

The procedure is simple and convenient, and the results are practically instantaneous. All the fillers that Dr. Kaniff uses contain the local anesthetic agent call lidocaine which makes the treatment more comfortable. In addition, for lip augmentation, Dr. Kaniff has developed a numbing technique that numbs the lips making the sensitive lip injection area essentially painless.

Dr. Kaniff, a leader in dermal filler injection uses an advanced cannula injection technique in many areas to decrease bruising and increase comfort during injection. Injection sessions are done in the clinic and take between 30 to 45 minutes depending on the treatment plan.

Avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John’s Wort, or high dose Vitamin E supplements prior to treatment, because these may increase bleeding or bruising at the injection site. Also, if you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another recurrence.

Ask the office staff when you schedule your appointment if the medications or supplements you take should be temporarily stopped prior to dermal filler injections. We also have herbal medicine available to decrease swelling and bruising that many patients find helpful.

Dermal Fillers Recovery

Patients often return to work or their daily activities immediately after their dermal filler injections. Strenuous activity can resume the next day. Bruising is unusual after dermal filler injection if you have stopped, well in advance, medications and supplements that increase the risk of bruising such as ibuprofen, garlic, aspirin, etc.

Dermal filler side effects are unusual but can include temporary redness, bruising, and swelling at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within two to three days. Discuss with Dr. Kaniff any specific side effects for the fillers chosen for you treatment plan.

Dermal Fillers Cost

The dermal filler cost associated with your treatment plan will be clearly outlined for your consultation. Dermal fillers cost range from $500.00 to $900.00 per syringe depending on the product that will best address your needs.

Dermal Fillers Results

Most facial fillers will show immediate improvement to the area treated. Some patients choose to gradually implement the treatment plan while others prefer to more at one time. The choice is up to you.

Sculptra Aesthetic

Sculptra Aesthetic is a series of injections that increase overall facial volume by stimulating your body to produce its own natural collagen. Most dermal fillers can fill these wrinkles, lines, and folds. Sculptra Aesthetic works differently. It gradually replaces lost collagen and provides a structure that lets your new look emerge more discreetly. Sculptra Aesthetic is a subtle, gradual treatment that doesn’t make you immediately look like you’ve had work done.

Sculptra Aesthetic targets the underlying causes of the signs of aging. It can give you noticeable results that gradually emerge over several weeks and can last for up to 25 months.

Injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) – the main component of Sculptra Aesthetic works within the deep dermis to replace lost collagen. As collagen is replaced, it provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of fullness by correcting your shallow to deep facial wrinkles and fold. Sculptra Aesthetic can also help soften acne scarring.  This results in the correction of these facial wrinkles and folds that can help provide a more refined appearance that can last up to 25 months.

An average number of treatment sessions of Sculptra Aesthetic is 4-6 injections sessions about 3-6 weeks apart. The sessions are spread out this way because Sculptra Aesthetic gradually replaces lost collagen to restore a natural-looking appearance that can last up to 25 months. The time between injection sessions gives Sculptra Aesthetic enough time to work so that your doctor can fine-tune your follow-up treatments. Sculptra cost will vary on the number of vials recommended, which is generally one vial per decade of life.

Sculptra Aesthetic is intended for use in people with a healthy immune system. You should not use Sculptra Aesthetic if you are allergic to any ingredient of the product or have a history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring. It should not be injected while you have an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area and should not be injected into the red area of the lip.

Side effects may include injection site discomfort, redness, bruising, bleeding itching, and swelling. Other side effects may include small lumps under the skin that are sometimes noticeable when pressing on the treated area. Larger lumps, some with delayed onset with or without inflammation or skin discoloration, have also been reported. In the clinical studies, the numbers of small and larger lumps were low and most resolved without treatment.
