When being treated with Affirm you may experience a slight prickly or light stinging sensation. Most people tolerate the treatment just fine. It all depends on the individual sensitivity or tolerance to stimulation. For maximum comfort the doctor applies a topical anesthetic. Generally the expectations are higher and disproportionate to the sensation felt and this is typical for the first treatment.

After the treatment, redness and some slight swelling may occur, typically lasting anywhere from 1hr to 2 days. A tan or dusky appearance of the skin can also appear in some patients and may last for 2-3 weeks.

Dermal fillers are treating permanent lines that are not going away when our facial muscles are at rest. They smooth out and restore volume in areas such as cheeks, under the eyes, jowls, lips. Newer generation fillers stimulate the natural formation of collagen.

Generally the fillers are safe. With the use of the natural fillers there are very few side effects. There is a potential for allergic reaction but this can be close to none depending on the type of filler used. Allergy testing can be done before the filler is injected.

The fillers used in our practice can last up to 9 months. With repetitive treatments the need for injection decreases the treated area becoming naturally tighter.

The price varies according to the type and amount of filler used. The final price is established during a complimentary consultation in our office.
