What is the optimal age for getting dermal fillers?

Doctor's Answers 1

I do not think there is an optimal age. Legally speaking above 21 for sure.

I guess it all depends; if you are 22 years old and there’s no hollowness or sagginess, I don’t see why you need a filler or anything at all unless you have some acne scars, for that age range, usually acne scar is a problem.

But, let us say you are 25 and have a hollow, sunken temple then a temple filler might be suitable for you.

What are the advantages of FDA-approved dermal fillers?

The term "FDA" is usually associated with the US regulatory Food and Drug Administration. Dermal fillers (also known as injectable implants), soft tissue fillers, or wrinkle fillers are classified as medical device implants by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in helping to create a smoother or fuller appearance in the face, including nasolabial folds, cheeks, and lips, and for increasing the volume of the back of the hands. The majority of such fillers are classified as temporary as they are biodegradable and biocompatible, with hyaluronic acid being the most common type.

Is it safe to get injectable treatments like Rejuran, Botox and dermal fillers while on Accutane (Isotretinoin)?

Hi,As long as your active acne is well controlled, injectables are permissible and safe to administer while on isotretinoin. However, if active acne inflammation is still present, injectables may run the risk of aggravating the acne infection and inflammation, hence should best be avoided. In general however, it may be prudent to focus first on completing the entire isotretinoin treatment course before commencing on additional invasive aesthetic treatments. Hope this helps!
