What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to combat the signs of aging by smoothing out facial wrinkles and enhancing areas of diminished volume. Over time, the natural aging process causes the face to lose subcutaneous fat, thinning the cushion between facial muscles and the skin. This results in more visible lines around the mouth and eyes—commonly known as smile lines and crow’s feet. Additionally, external factors, such as sun damage, genetics, and individual lifestyle choices may cause damage to the skin. Dermal fillers address these issues by restoring lost fullness and promoting a more youthful and revitalized appearance.

Why Choose Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers:

  • Augment naturally thin lips for a fuller appearance.
  • Elevate and define facial contours that may appear shallow.
  • Soften and smooth out the look of fine lines and deeper facial wrinkles.
  • Visibly improve and repair the appearance of recessed scars.
  • Correct and restore symmetry to facial contour irregularities.
  • Minimize or eliminate shadows cast by sagging under-eye areas.

Dermal fillers offer a versatile solution for those who wish to address the early signs of aging without invasive surgery, rejuvenating your features for a naturally refreshed and youthful look.

What Makes Dermal Fillers Different from Similar Procedures?

Dermal fillers distinguish themselves in cosmetic treatments by smoothing out fine lines and reviving the facial contours due to their volumizing effect. In contrast to procedures like a liquid facelift—which combines these fillers with muscle-relaxing neuromodulators such as Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® to achieve a comprehensive anti-aging effect—dermal fillers specifically target lost volume. Neuromodulators ease muscle contractions which contribute to wrinkles, whereas dermal fillers work beneath the skin’s surface to plump and lift from within.

How it Works

Step 1: Consultation

At the consultation, we will listen to your concerns and answer your questions. We will ensure your goals are clearly understood and met by a caring staff of exceptional practitioners whose goal is to surpass your desired expectations and enhance your natural beauty.

By combining our expertise with your vision, we’re dedicated to creating personalized treatment plans that suit your unique needs and lifestyle. Our commitment to excellence is evident in the attention to detail and customized care we provide each client.

Step 2: Treatment Planning

We will develop a quality plan to meet your expectations in effectively improving those features you would like to be enhanced, based on your concerns. We will then discuss the various options for filler and make recommendations based on our many years of experience providing superior cosmetic outcomes.

Our dedicated team prides itself on personalized care and will work closely with you to select the most suitable products, ensuring they are tailored to your unique skin type and aesthetic goals. Our commitment is to deliver results that exceed your desires, blending artistry with precision to redefine your natural beauty.

Step 3: Treatment

We will start treatment by cleansing your face with an antibacterial/antifungal cleanser to ensure that the area to be treated is sterilized and germ-free. We may then numb the area with a topical or local numbing agent, depending on the procedure being performed, ice may also be applied for additional comfort. We use cannulas for the injections when possible. Although cannulas look like needles, they are, in fact, rounded at the front and reduce discomfort, bruising, swelling, and the risk of intravascular infection. Using cannulas requires special expertise, which we have, to achieve optimal results.

The Dermal Filler will be injected using a fine needle, ensuring meticulous placement and contouring for the enhancement of your features. Our precise technique minimizes discomfort and maximizes results, leaving you with a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance that reflects your natural beauty.

Step 4: Follow up 

Depending on the procedure performed and the provider, a follow-up visit may be provided. Patients usually choose to have follow-up treatments at different times depending on the area of treatment. Usually, after 6 to 12 months, patients come in for a follow-up treatment for wrinkles, and 6- 9 months for lip enhancements.

Continued medical oversight ensures that any adjustments to the treatment can be made and that the patient’s satisfaction with the results is maintained. This variation depends on how the body metabolizes the substances used during the procedure, which can differ greatly from person to person. The longevity of the results can also be influenced by the patient’s age, lifestyle, and the degree of correction desired. During these subsequent visits, patients can discuss their results, express concerns, and plan for future procedures if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I see the results of the procedure?

The improved cosmetic results of dermal fillers usually appear immediately! A few specialized injectables require a little more time. This can typically be 24 to 48 hours depending on the procedure.

When can I go back to work?

You can usually return to work the same day; right after treatment. There is usually no downtime following a dermal filler injectable procedure. This is what makes dermal fillers so desirable!

What are potential side effects?

Although dermal fillers are safe and noninvasive, there are some mild side effects that can occur with treatment. Some of these are redness and mild bruising; significant bruising is uncommon. We offer free BBL treatments, however, if bruising is difficult to cover. Other potential side effects which are not common can include allergic reactions.

What should I do to prepare for dermal filler treatments?

Our practitioners will give you a detailed list of instructions on what to do in order to prepare for dermal filler treatments. A few precautions would be to avoid any blood thinning medications and supplements such as Aspirin, Tylenol, Vitamin E, ginseng, and garlic 3 to 5 days before the procedure. Also, two days before treatment, avoid taking retinol and anti-aging creams. Arnica is recommended because of its ability to help reduce bruising and redness.

Are the treatments painful?

Using our special techniques, most patients are very comfortable or have only minor discomfort. Using numbing creams or numbing by injection to the area makes the procedure pain-free with little to no discomfort.

How long do the dermal fillers last?

Derma fillers typically last 9 to 12 months for some products, 2 years for others, and up to 4 or 5 years depending on the product. This depends on the products used.

Can the dermal fillers be reversed?

We take pride in making sure that the best aesthetic results are achieved, if, for any reason, you are not totally satisfied with the results, they can be reversed. This can be done by merely injecting a solution that dissolves the filler and reverses the change.

Can different fillers be used in the same location?

It is perfectly safe to use different fillers in the same location. In order to achieve optimal results, this is sometimes recommended for optimal and desired results.

How long do the results of dermal fillers last?

The longevity of dermal fillers can significantly vary, with effects lasting from several months to two years. This duration is influenced by factors such as the specific type of filler selected, and the area of the face treated.

What is the difference between dermal fillers and Botox?

Botox alleviates wrinkles by calming overactive muscles on the face, in contrast, dermal fillers plump up the skin, diminishing wrinkles by restoring lost volume.
