Also the potential side effects of using dermal fillers when done correctly by a specialist is very minimal, in some cases people only experience some redness or swelling around the injection site. This redness or swelling normally disappears within a few hours. Most people can even cover the redness by using makeup. In other cases, people may experience some bruising, but these situations can be avoided if you follow our pre-procedure instructions before coming in for the appointment.
