Am I a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?

Dermal Fillers are used to soften wrinkles, enhance contours, plump lips, and help deal with recessed scars due to acne and other conditions. You may be a good candidate if:

• You are in good physical health
• You don’t smoke–smoking ages skin, and makes healing and recovery difficult
• You have realistic expectations of what dermal fillers can do for you

Why Should I Consider Dermal Fillers in Chiang Mai?

Quick-fix procedures like fillers are great to have if you are already on holiday; they are quick to administer and side-effects tend to wear off quickly, so you don't need to miss much holiday time.

Chiang Mai is a major Thai center for cultural diversity and medical tourism. The healthcare facilities offered here are generally excellent, conforming to internationally-recognized health and safety protocols, equipped with the latest technologies and staffed with skilled staff.

Recovery time from dermal filler treatment is relatively quick, meaning you'll be able to make the most of your time in Chiang Mai without having to worry about being confined to your hotel. Check out the famous Night Bazaar or Warorot Market (daytime), where you'll find a huge selection of stalls with incredibly low prices and great quality. If you are up to adventure, consider a hill tribe trek. If archaeological discoveries are more your style, check out Wiang Kum Kam–the remains of a city dating back to the 8th century that was rediscovered in 1984.

How Can I Be Sure of the Quality of Dermal Fillers in Chiang Mai?

Not all doctors and clinics have the same experience, education or successful results. Check all qualifications and memberships. Make sure your dermal filler provider is a trained and experienced plastic surgeon. Contact prospects and ask questions like what you can expect, what risks you might face, what are your options are, if you don’t like the outcome.

What Does the Treatment Entail?

Once you and the practitioner have decided on which soft tissue filler package is for you, the dermatologist will evaluate your facial appearance and skin tone. They will be looking to find the areas that would benefit most from the filler application. The injection sites may be marked, and photographs may be taken.

Your face and areas receiving the injections will be cleansed with an antibacterial solution. Most people can tolerate the minimal pain of the injections. For those who can’t, anesthetic ointment may be applied prior to the treatment.

There may be several to many sites treated during a session. Each site injection takes only a few seconds. The doctor will assess the results as he/she works, to make sure just the right amount of filler is used.

Once the filler injections are complete, the markings will be cleaned off your skin.

How Long Will the Procedure Take?

The process of injections takes only about 15 minutes, or up to an hour if you are having more extensive treatment. The actual time depends on the number of sites and injections needed to reach your goals.

What Does the Recovery Process Look Like?

Recovery tends to be quite quick. You may need to avoid sun exposure, but you should be able to resume your regular daily activities right after the treatment. You may use an ice pack to relieve discomfort right after the treatment for a day or two. Your skin may feel tender, but it isn’t usually painful enough to need any pain medication.
