Dermal Filler- Myths vs. Facts
Dermal fillers have become one of the most talked-about treatments in the world of aesthetics—but with popularity comes plenty of misinformation. From frozen faces to fears about looking “overdone,” myths about fillers can stop people from exploring a treatment that could actually enhance their natural beauty.
At Re’Nue Wellness Bar, we believe in educating our clients so they can make confident, informed choices. Let’s break down some of the most common myths and reveal the facts behind the filler.
Myth #1: Fillers Will Make You Look Fake
Fact: When done correctly by a skilled injector, dermal fillers enhance your features—not distort them. The goal is subtle, natural-looking results that restore volume and smooth lines without looking overdone.
Myth #2: Fillers Are Only for Lips
Fact: Fillers can be used in many areas—cheeks, jawline, under-eyes, temples, and even hands—to restore lost volume and create a balanced, youthful appearance.
Myth #3: Fillers Are Permanent
Fact: Most dermal fillers are made with hyaluronic acid and are temporary, lasting between 6 months to 2 years depending on the product and treatment area. They gradually break down and are safely absorbed by the body.
Myth #4: It’s Painful and Requires Lots of Downtime
Fact: Most clients report only mild discomfort. Many fillers contain lidocaine, and we also use numbing agents to keep you comfortable. Downtime is minimal—some swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
Myth #5: Anyone Can Inject Fillers
Fact: Not all injectors are created equal. Experience, knowledge of facial anatomy, and artistic skill all matter. Choosing a qualified provider—like our medical team at Re’Nue Wellness Bar—ensures safe, beautiful, and natural results. Ask the tough questions, make sure you are getting a real consult. Make sure you and your injector are on the same page!
Small Changes, Big Confidence: The Power of Subtle Enhancements
One of the best things about dermal fillers? They don’t have to be done all at once. In fact, we often recommend a gradual approach, especially for first-time clients. By spacing treatments over multiple sessions, we can build volume and balance slowly and intentionally—allowing your results to evolve in a way that feels natural and comfortable.
This process gives you time to adjust, ask questions, and maintain control of your look. Think of it as a journey—not a transformation overnight, but a refined, refreshed version of you that feels just right.
At Re’Nue Wellness Bar, we’ll never rush your results. We’re here to listen to your concerns, guide you through the process, and help you feel confident every step of the way.
