Treatment
Skin numbing and cleaning – Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your treatment. This will allow additional time for skin cleansing and application of a skin numbing agent if needed.
Preparation – Dr. Vulcanescu will attach your sterile, single-use needle cartridge to the DERMAPEN® and determine the length of the micro-needle for your procedure.
DERMAPEN® Treatment – Once connected, the sterile tip of the DERMAPEN® cartridge is moved across the surface of the skin to perform the needling. Some clients may experience minimal discomfort during the procedure alongside a small amount of pinpoint bleeding.
Post treatment – Apply after care skin product – Immediately after your procedure, post treatment care products will be applied to your skin and a post treatment care plan will be outlined.

FAQ

What are dermal fillers?While dermal fillers are casually known as “wrinkle fillers,” they can do much more than just smooth out wrinkles, although they are excellent at this too! Here are a few of the common issues dermal fillers can help address: Smooth out lines around nose and mouth (a.k.a. marionette lines, smile lines, and parentheses) Enhance & restore volume to sunken cheeks or temples Diminish vertical lip lines Plump & enhance the lips Smooth out a chin crease Improve symmetry among facial features
-
Am I a good candidate for dermal fillers?You should consider dermal fillers if you: Are concerned about moderate-to-deep lines between the nose and mouth. Wish you had plumper, fuller lips. Are facing age-related volume loss in cheeks. Desire natural-looking results without surgery.
-
How long does the treatment take?A dermal filler treatment typically takes anywhere between 30 and 45 minutes.
-
What results will I see?You’ll enjoy smoother lines and wrinkles, greater volume, and/or plumper lips immediately after treatment. In most cases, these results will last for up to 1 year.
-
Is there any downtime?After a filler treatment, you may face minor side effects like redness, swelling, and tenderness, at the injection site. You can treat them with a cold compress and expect them to disappear within 2 to 3 hours or a few days. You may also experience some bruising that will likely last anywhere between a few days and never more than two weeks. To resolve it faster, you can use Arnica Montana before treatment and/or take digestive enzyme. We also recommend you ice your treatment area for the initial 24 to 48 hours several times a day and apply a warm compress to the bruised area for the following 48 to 72 hours. In addition, it’s important that you massage your face after your injections for 5 days, 5x/day, for 5 minutes each time. If you don’t notice any lumps, however, skip the massage process. The day after treatment, refrain from exercise and rigorous activity! Fortunately, you can wash your face thoroughly and resume your daily responsibilities right away. Be to avoid UV exposure, massages, or facials for at least 1 week after treatment.
