Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Made primarily of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, fillers help rejuvenate areas such as the face, lips, and hands. They are a popular choice for those looking for quick, minimally invasive facial enhancements.
How Dermal Filler Treatments Work
The dermal filler process is designed to deliver quick and noticeable results. During the consultation, your provider will assess your facial structure and aesthetic goals to recommend the best filler for your needs. The treatment involves:
• Cleansing the treatment area
• Applying a numbing cream for comfort
• Injecting the filler using fine needles or cannulas into targeted areas
The entire procedure takes around 20-45 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated. After the injection, the filler may be gently massaged to ensure even distribution.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offer numerous benefits:
• Immediate, noticeable results with little to no downtime
• Non-surgical and minimally invasive, providing a quick, convenient option for facial rejuvenation
• Customizable treatment plans tailored to each individual’s facial anatomy
• Long-lasting effects, from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the filler type and treated area
Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible, allowing for adjustments if needed.

Indications for Fillers

• Lip enhancement for fuller lips
• Reducing nasolabial folds and marionette lines
• Under-eye hollows (tear troughs) for a more refreshed appearance
• Jawline contouring for a more defined look
• Hand rejuvenation to restore volume and smooth fine lines
Risks & Recovery
Dermal fillers are safe and effective, but like any procedure, there are some risks to consider. Common risks include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Serious complications, such as vascular issues, are rare but require attention if they occur. To ensure proper healing and the best results:
• Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas unless instructed by your provider
• Apply ice packs to reduce swelling
• Refrain from strenuous exercise, alcohol, and sun exposure for 24-48 hours post-treatment
Most swelling subsides within a few days, with full results visible in 1-2 weeks. Follow-up treatments may be recommended every 6-18 months for lasting results.
