What Are Bio-Fillers?
Bio-fillers are a natural alternative to traditional fillers that use your body’s own healing power to restore lost volume and soften signs of aging. It starts with a simple blood draw, done right here in our Port Charlotte office. Your blood is then processed and spun within a centrifuge to help separate out Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), which is full of cytokines and natural growth factors that help refresh your skin from within. They can rebuild lost volume in several areas, including the face, hands, and neck, for a more holistic esthetic outcome.
Benefits of Bio-Fillers
With injectable bio-fillers, you can expect a wide range of advantages, such as:
- Low chance of allergic reactions: Unlike traditional fillers, the risk of reaction is low because it’s made from your own cells, making it an ideal choice for patients seeking a more natural approach to facial rejuvenation.
- Natural-looking results: Our team will customize the treatment so that your results look completely normal while restoring the volume and texture of your skin.
- Quick process & short downtime: The process can be completed in around 30 minutes to an hour, and any swelling or bruising should be minor and will fade away after a few days.
- Minimally invasive procedure: There is no surgery involved with facial rejuvenation, and you don’t have to worry about incisions.
- Skin hydration & collagen stimulation: This treatment can improve skin hydration and collagen production, which can greatly boost skin texture, elasticity, and overall quality.
What to Expect During Your Bio-Filler Treatment
You’ll begin your bio-filler process by undergoing a consultation where we’ll discuss your goals and concerns, including your medical history, so that we can determine if you’d be eligible for the treatment. For the procedure, we will clean your skin and numb the area we will treat. Dr. V will then draw your blood and process it so that he can inject the plasma (bio-filler) into the specific spot(s) on your face. We’ll then carefully massage the area to ensure an even distribution. Afterward, you should be free to resume your daily activities, but be sure to follow our aftercare guidelines for best results.
Are You a Good Candidate for Bio-Fillers?
Bio-fillers are typically designed for adults to help restore youth and elasticity to their skin. Those who are eligible for the treatment may have mild/moderate facial wrinkles or loss of volume, have no current skin infections, are free of any serious medical conditions, and are not currently pregnant or nursing. Of course, it’s best to speak with Dr. V to know for sure if bio-fillers are right for you!
Bio-Fillers FAQs
What is aftercare like for bio-fillers?
Aftercare for bio-fillers is minimal, though there are a few things you should do to help take care of your skin and ensure the fillers distribute properly. Here’s what we recommend:
- Don’t touch or rub the treatment area for the next 12 hours
- Avoid strenuous activity for at least two days
- Avoid heat and direct sunlight, and always apply sunscreen when going outside
- Use a cold compress to help control swelling
- Avoid excessive amounts of salt and alcohol for a day or two, as they can trigger further swelling
- When washing your face, be sure to use gentle cleansers that don’t contain harsh ingredients like glycolic acid
- Avoid wearing makeup for the next 48 hours to help prevent bacteria from infecting the injection sites
When will I see the results of my bio-fillers?
Fillers in general work very quickly, and bio-filler results are near-instantaneous. Your body will almost immediately begin using the cytokines and natural growth factors in the PRF to “fill” and nourish the skin. It might take a week or two for your skin to get the most out of bio-fillers, but within hours it should start to take on a plump and dewy texture.
How long do bio-fillers last?
It depends on several factors, such as your metabolism, lifestyle, and diligence to aftercare. On average, though, bio-fillers can last for 6 to 12 months.
Good skincare products like facial moisturizers, collagen masks, and SPF sunscreen can also help results last longer, so don’t hesitate to ask us for recommendations.
When is it safe to get another treatment?
You can generally get another bio-filler treatment as soon as you start noticing signs of the effects wearing off. In fact, once they know how long bio-fillers last in their skin, many patients return to our office for regular touch-ups. This helps keep the skin consistently supported with collagen production, cytokines, and growth factors so it can maintain a youthful appearance.
Do bio-fillers have a good safety record?
Yes – actually, the type of bio-fillers we use in our office are considered to be the safest option! Because they use natural components from your own blood, our bio-fillers have high acceptance and absorption rates. Allergic reactions are virtually non-existent, with rejection occurring in less than 1% of cases.
Rest assured, when you get bio-fillers in Port Charlotte, you’re choosing the most reliable injectable available!
