Use Saline for Dermal Filler Practice

Many people are highly interested in the use of dermal fillers. These injectable products can smooth away wrinkles, plump up the skin and take years off of your appearance. They're a relatively simple procedure to get. Nevertheless, new patients are typically anxious about their first treatment. The main reason is that they can never really picture what the result is going to look like. Skin rejuvenation doctors use many different methods to show patients what they will look like with the dermal fillers that they are considering getting. The most common of these methods is to use computer imaging to create a photo of what the new look will be. This is useful but still isn't enough to satisfy some customers who just can't picture their new face by looking at a 2D image. One method that doctors are using to resolve this problem is temporary saline injections. Saline is inserted into the same area that the dermal filler will be used on. It provides a similar effect but only lasts for about twenty four hours. Patients can spend the day looking at their new face in different lighting and settings in order to make sure that the dermal filler injections will be right for them. It's a little bit pricey to consider doing this since saline injections cost more than digital imaging. However, for the wary patient, it may be worth the cost for the peace of mind to know that you're going to like the finished product of your cosmetic work. Ask your doctor if this is something that he or she can do for you. Question of the Day: What do you see as the pros and cons of pre-injection saline? photo link
