How Filler Treatment Works: A Step-by-Step Guide
By Dr. Shivam Dang | Dr. Dangs Clinic, Dehradun
If you’ve been thinking about getting dermal fillers but feel unsure about what the process actually involves, you’re not alone. At Dr. Dangs Clinic, we believe in complete transparency and patient education, so you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Here’s a simple, step-by-step breakdown of how filler treatment works, so you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after your appointment.
🪞 Step 1: Personalized Consultation
Every great treatment begins with a detailed consultation.
During this session:
- We discuss your concerns and goals (e.g. fuller lips, smoother lines, defined jawline)
- Evaluate your facial anatomy and skin quality
- Suggest the right type and amount of filler
- Explain the treatment plan, pricing, and expected results
At Dr. Dangs Clinic, we follow an honest and ethical approach—we only recommend what’s truly suitable for you.
📋 Step 2: Pre-Treatment Preparation
Before the procedure, we ensure:
- You are medically fit for treatment
- You haven’t taken any blood-thinning medications that may increase bruising
- Your skin is clean and ready
You may be advised to:
- Avoid alcohol or smoking for 24 hours
- Stop taking aspirin, fish oil, or vitamin E (if safe to do so)
🧴 Step 3: Numbing the Area
To ensure a comfortable experience, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area. Most modern fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that further minimizes any discomfort during injection.
💉 Step 4: The Filler Injection
Once the area is numb and prepped:
- Dr. Shivam Dang uses precise injection techniques tailored to your facial structure
- Small amounts of filler are carefully injected using a fine needle or micro-cannula
- The filler is then gently massaged into place for a smooth, even result
The procedure usually takes 20–30 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
🪞 Step 5: Immediate Results and Review
You’ll notice immediate volume and contour improvement right after the session. We give you a mirror to check the result and confirm your satisfaction.
Mild swelling or redness may appear but usually resolves within 24–48 hours.
📝 Step 6: Aftercare and Follow-Up
We’ll provide simple aftercare instructions, such as:
- Avoid touching the area for at least 6 hours
- Skip makeup, heavy exercise, and alcohol for 24 hours
- Sleep with your head elevated the first night if possible
A follow-up visit may be scheduled after 1–2 weeks to review the results and make any touch-ups if necessary.
⏱ How Long Do Results Last?
Dermal filler results typically last between 6 months to 1.5 years, depending on:
- The area treated
- The type of filler used
- Your metabolism and lifestyle
Regular maintenance sessions help prolong the effects and keep your look fresh and natural.
