Common Side Effects of Injectable Fillers

While injectable fillers are generally safe and minimally invasive, it’s normal to experience some temporary side effects following treatment. Most reactions are mild and resolve within a few days, but understanding what to expect can help you feel confident and prepared. Proper aftercare and guidance from board-certified dermatologists at Tru-Skin Dermatology minimizes risks and ensures the best results.

Possible side effects may include: 

  • Temporary swelling at the injection site.
  • Mild bruising or discoloration.
  • Redness or tenderness around treated areas
  • Lumpiness or uneven texture, usually correctable with gentle massage or adjustments.
  • Itching or mild rash in some cases.
  • Extremely rare allergic reactions.
  • Migration or shifting of fillers, which may require professional adjustment.

What to Expect at Your Injectable Fillers Appointment

Your injectable filler appointment at Tru-Skin Dermatology is personalized, efficient, and designed for natural-looking results. It begins with a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals, concerns, and target areas. Based on this, your provider creates a customized treatment plan tailored to your facial anatomy.

Before injections, the treatment area is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. The injections themselves are precise and quick, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort.

Injectable Fillers Maintenance Recommendations

Maintaining the results of your injectable fillers involves a combination of conscientious aftercare and periodic follow-up appointments.

After your initial treatment, it's important to follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your provider. 
  • Regular Follow-Up Appointments: Schedule periodic follow-up appointments with your dermatology provider to assess the longevity of results and determine if touch-up treatments are needed.
  • Sun Protection: Protect your skin from UV damage by applying sunscreen regularly, especially to treated areas, to maintain the quality of your skin.
  • Healthy Lifestyle: Adopt a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate hydration, to support overall skin health and the longevity of filler results.
  • Avoiding Extreme Temperatures: Refrain from exposing treated areas to extreme temperatures, such as intense heat or cold, to minimize the risk of complications.
  • Gentle Skincare: Use mild skincare products and avoid harsh exfoliants in the treated areas to prevent irritation and maintain the integrity of the skin.
  • Communication with Provider: Communicate openly with your dermatology provider about any changes or concerns, ensuring prompt guidance and adjustments to the treatment plan if needed.

Injectable Fillers Maintenance Schedule

  • To maintain the benefits of injectable fillers, scheduling a follow-up appointment a few weeks after the initial treatment is crucial.
  • Depending on the filler type, maintenance appointments every six months to a year are typically recommended to assess results, make adjustments, and align enhancements with evolving aesthetic goals. This regular communication with your provider ensures a consistently rejuvenated appearance and optimal, long-lasting results.

Injectable Filler Aftercare

Proper aftercare is key to maintaining your injectable fillers. Avoid extreme temperatures, protect treated areas from the sun, and use gentle skincare products. Staying hydrated and following a healthy lifestyle also helps your results last longer.

Follow-up appointments are important to monitor results and schedule touch-ups as needed. Depending on the filler type, visits every six months to a year help ensure your enhancements stay natural, balanced, and long-lasting.

Lip Fillers vs Lip Injections

While the terms lip fillers and lip injections are often used interchangeably, there is a subtle difference. Lip fillers specifically refer to the hyaluronic acid or other FDA-approved substances used to add volume, shape, and definition to the lips. Lip injections are a broader term that describes the process of injecting these products. Essentially, lip injections are the method, and lip fillers are the material used—both work together to achieve fuller, natural-looking lips when performed by an experienced provider at Tru-Skin Dermatology.

Injectable Fillers FAQs

Most injectable fillers last 6 to 18 months, depending on the product and treatment area. Fillers used in high-movement areas, like the lips, may fade sooner, while structural fillers such as Sculptra® can last up to two years or more. Regular maintenance helps extend and refresh your results.

Yes — when administered by a qualified, experienced provider, injectable fillers are considered very safe. At Tru-Skin Dermatology, we use only FDA-approved products and follow strict medical standards to minimize risks and ensure natural, balanced outcomes.

Downtime is minimal. Most patients resume normal activities right away, though you may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness for a day or two. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat for 24–48 hours to reduce swelling and support healing.

Juvéderm® Injectable Fillers feature two advanced technologies: Hylacross™ and Vycross™. Hylacross™, used in Juvéderm Ultra and Ultra Plus, contains tightly crosslinked hyaluronic acid molecules that create a thicker gel for added volume and lift. 

Vycross™, found in Juvéderm Voluma, Vollure, and Volbella, blends different molecular weights for smoother, longer-lasting results and a more natural, flexible feel with minimal water absorption.

The Restylane® Collection of Fillers uses two advanced technologies — NASHA™ for structure and definition, and XpresHAn™ for flexible, natural-looking movement. Our collection includes Restylane-L, Silk, Lyft, Refyne, Defyne, Contour, and Kysse, offering tailored solutions for everything from smoothing fine lines to enhancing lips and restoring facial volume.

Sculptra® is an injectable treatment made with Poly-L-Lactic acid that works by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. Instead of adding instant volume like traditional fillers, it gradually restores fullness in areas such as the temples, cheeks, and lower face—helping rebuild a youthful, firm, and hydrated appearance over time.
