At White Dental Spa, we specialize in Juvederm in Dallas. If you’re interested in facial fillers like Juvederm, Dr. E-Jan Tung and Dr. Quinn Liu are here to help. If it’s your first time receiving fillers, you may be wondering what to expect and whether fillers are safe. 

The team at White Dental Spa strives to keep all of our patients informed, so here is everything you need to know about fillers:

How Do Fillers Work? Understanding The Basics

Fillers like Juvederm use compounds like collagen, hyaluronic acid and PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) to create a compound that fills out and smooths lines and wrinkles in the face. By injecting these fillers into the proper areas of the face, Dr. E-Jan Tung and Dr. Quinn Liu can minimize the effects of aging, and provide you with a rejuvenated appearance.

Common Risks Of Juvederm & Facial Fillers

Most patients do not experience any major side effects from Juvederm. However, the procedure could put you at risk of some minor side effects such as:

  • Bruising
  • Redness in the treated area
  • Swelling and inflammation
  • Facial pain
  • Itching

All of these side effects are minor, and tend to go away after a few weeks, if present.

Choose A Reputable Provider To Minimize Risks

All of the above side effects are relatively rare. And At White Dental Spa, Dr. E-Jan Tung and Dr. Quinn Liu are highly trained in the process of injection facial fillers such as Juvederm. As dentists in Dallas, they have a deep understanding of facial anatomy, and can properly apply dermal fillers to help minimize side effects, and ensure you get the best possible results.

If you want to ensure your safety while getting fillers, you should make sure you only get fillers from qualified professionals like Dr. E-Jan Tung and Dr. Quinn Liu. In addition, make sure you are receiving Juvederm or another FDA-approved filler. Non-approved fillers may not be safe, and may cause additional side effects.
