Dermal Fillers
Dermal Filler
As we age, we lose the integrity of collagen and elasticity in our skin, resulting in loss of volume and fullness in our face. Facial fillers are a non-surgical way to restore and replace lost volume secondary to aging. Specific areas where we notice these changes are in the nasolabial folds, cheeks, and lips. Other uses for fillers include enhancing shallow contours, plumping and smoothing lips, and enhancing the appearance of scars.
Facial fillers tend to have a “moisturizing” effect and are often used in combination with neurotoxins for optimal results, leaving your skin tighter, brighter, and fuller, allowing for a beautiful and natural appearing result.

What is Dermal Filler?
Hyaluronic Acid is the main component of dermal fillers, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that maintains the skin’s hydration and volume.
What is the downtime after a dermal filler appointment?
Recovery time varies depending on the type of filler used and your individual response. Mild swelling or bruising is common and typically resolves within a few days. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately but should avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours after treatment.
Who is a good candidate for Dermal Filler?
Dermal filler is ideal for anyone seeking to improve definition, symmetry, or proportion of their facial features. Suitable candidates include those with volume loss, laxity, asymmetry, or underdefined areas such as the cheeks, lips, jawline, or chin.
How long does dermal filler last?
The longevity of dermal filler depends on the product used, the treatment area, and your body’s natural metabolism. On average, results can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. Regular maintenance treatments can help preserve your results.
What can I expect during a dermal filler appointment?
Your appointment will begin with a personalized facial assessment by one of our medical providers to discuss your goals and desired outcomes. Once a treatment plan is created, we’ll ensure your comfort throughout the process. Topical and injectable numbing options are available to minimize any discomfort before treatment begins. Treatments typically are around 30 minutes. Techniques used for dermal filler can include needle or cannula injection based on the treatment area and patient anatomy.
