Thinking about trying dermal filler in St. Petersburg, but feeling a little unsure about what’s true and what’s just hype? With so much information floating around on this treatment, from beauty vlogs to TikTok testimonials, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or even a little nervous about the procedure.
At Hermann Aesthetics & Wellness, we believe in empowering you with nothing but the facts. What’s the truth? Fillers can be a safe, subtle, and transformative option when done right.
In this blog, we’re breaking down some of the most common myths about dermal fillers our team has seen around the web, so you can make confident, informed choices about your aesthetic care and enhancing your look.
Myth #1: “Dermal Fillers Will Make Me Look Fake”
You might have heard someone say that fillers look fake, or that they “freeze” your face and make you look like plastic. Though dermal fillers can cause your features to look unnatural, that’s a result of an inexperienced provider, not the dermal fillers themselves.
It’s always important to find an experienced injector who tailors your treatment to your unique features and facial balance. You deserve to look your best and look natural. Our team at Hermann Aesthetics has over 50 years of experience combined among all our injectors—so you’re always in expert hands.
Myth #2: “Fillers & Botox Are the Same Thing”
Though dermal fillers and Botox are both injectable treatments, they are completely different types of injectables that do different things. Botox and other neurotoxins like it are used to reduce dynamic wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily paralyzing the muscles under the skin. They do not treat static wrinkles as effectively.
Dermal fillers can effectively treat static lines and wrinkles, while also being used to plump and add volume to the lips, cheeks, jawline, and other hollow areas of the face.
Myth #3: “Fillers Are Painful”
Patients tolerate the dermal filler process very well, and our injectors use ultra-fine needles to administer the filler solution. This makes the initial “poke” very manageable on its own.
At Hermann Aesthetics, we take comfort a step further and apply a topical numbing solution to your injection area. This ensures that the entire treatment is comfortable from start to finish.
Myth #4: “All Dermal Fillers Are the Same”
Though the end goal of dermal fillers is similar, the actual fillers themselves differ in composition, longevity, and even formulation texture.
There are hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm that tackle fine lines more effectively, or calcium hydroxylapatite fillers such as Radiesse that stimulate collagen and elastin production. Your dermal filler provider will match you with the right filler to meet your unique needs.
Myth #5: “Dermal Fillers Can Damage My Skin”
When done by qualified experts like Hermann Aesthetics, fillers are safe and shouldn’t cause any skin damage. They’re designed to add subtle volume to the treatment area without stretching or damaging the skin.
Many dermal fillers are also composed of naturally occurring substances that are found in our bodies, which increase collagen and elastin production. This improves your skin’s health, decreasing the skin’s laxity while improving its structure.
