Is It Difficult To Learn How to Inject Dermal Fillers?



This is a procedure that should only be performed by a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Anyone who has undertaken medical training will not find it difficult to learn how to inject dermal fillers. They will easily be able to learn this technique in one day or less.

What Are Dermal Fillers?



Dermal fillers are synthetic gels that are injected into the skin to plump up areas where collagen and fat has broken down leading to wrinkles. This treatment is often done in conjunction with a Botox treatment to help reduce the rapidity with which wrinkles reappear. Most patients will see an almost immediate improvement in their appearance. Most dermal filler treatments cost about £300 for one vial. Most lip line treatments require 1 to 2 vials to achieve optimal results.

Most people are able to learn how to inject dermal fillers during a one-day course. At many institutions, it is possible to practice performing this technique on live models hired by the school. Some websites offer videos for sale which give instruction on how to inject dermal fillers. These videos are not expensive and usually feature a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon giving a demonstration. If you are an aesthetician working in a spa and want to perform dermal filler techniques you should ensure that you learn how to administer them properly before proceeding.

Is It Difficult To Learn How To Inject Dermal Fillers?



It is not difficult to learn how to inject dermal fillers but some technique is required and since this is a treatment conducted under a local anaesthetic, one should proceed with caution if one does not possess a medical license.

Patients should be advised that they may experience some swelling, bruising or tenderness at the injection site but that these side effects are temporary and should resolve within 24 to 48 hours. They should be advised to use a cold pack if they are experiencing swelling and to take a pain reliever if they are experiencing significant tenderness or pain. Dermal fillers do not usually produce significant side effects and allergic reactions to treatments are extremely rare.

Most patients will be extremely pleased with the results they see immediately following a dermal filler injection. They will happily return for follow-up treatment when the results begin to fade. Many dermatologists and plastic surgeons see that performing treatments such as this can be a quick and easy way to augment their practice's income. Many patients will willingly pay to have procedures like this performed on them in an attempt to reclaim their youthful good looks despite the fact that these services are not covered by the National Health Service.
