In need of volume or hydration

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin. They work by adding volume to specific areas, hydrating the skin, and smoothing lines to create a youthful and refreshed look.

ABOUT Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a versatile, non-surgical solution to enhance facial contours, restore volume, and smooth lines for a naturally rejuvenated appearance. Whether you’re looking to define your jawline, enhance your cheekbones, or add subtle volume to your lips, dermal fillers can provide a tailored approach to meet your aesthetic goals. 

What Is It?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances used to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. Made primarily from Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin, fillers provide hydration and plumpness, delivering a youthful and refreshed appearance. Over time, natural HA levels decrease, and dermal fillers help replenish and support the skin’s structure.

 

How It Works?

Using ultra-fine needles or cannulas, dermal fillers are carefully injected into targeted areas to enhance contours and restore lost volume. Treatments are quick, with minimal discomfort, and results are visible immediately, improving further as the product settles. 

What are the benefits?

Dermal fillers are a versatile and highly effective solution for enhancing and rejuvenating your natural beauty. By restoring lost volume, defining facial contours, and softening fine lines, fillers can help you achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Whether you’re looking to enhance specific areas such as the cheeks, jawline, lips, or chin, or simply improve overall facial symmetry, dermal fillers provide tailored results that complement your unique features. With minimal downtime and effects that can last several months, these treatments offer a convenient and non-surgical option for boosting confidence and achieving a naturally radiant look. 

All You Need to Know

What is dermal filler?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances used to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. Made primarily from Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin, fillers provide hydration and plumpness, delivering a youthful and refreshed appearance. Over time, natural HA levels decrease, and dermal fillers help replenish and support the skin’s structure.

Where can dermal filler be injected?

Cheeks: To restore volume and create a lifted appearance. Lips: For enhanced shape, volume, and hydration. Jawline: To create definition and improve facial balance. Chin: For contouring and profile enhancement. Nasolabial folds: To smooth the lines between the nose and mouth. Marionette lines: To soften lines from the mouth corners to the chin. Under-eyes (tear trough): To reduce the appearance of hollows and dark circles.

When is a good time to start?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but dermal fillers are often sought by those noticing signs of aging, such as volume loss or deeper lines. Preventative treatments can also be started in the late 20s or 30s to maintain youthful contours. Consultations ensure the timing and approach are personalized to your needs.

How much filler will you need?

The amount of filler needed depends on the treatment area, desired results, and individual facial structure. For example: Cheeks and jawlines might need 1ml to 2ml per side for noticeable contouring. Your practitioner will recommend the optimal amount during a consultation to ensure balanced and natural results.

FAQ

Got questions about dermal fillers? Find all the answers you need here.

What are dermal fillers made out of, and are they safe?

Dermal fillers are primarily made from Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body. They are considered safe when administered by a qualified and experienced practitioner using high-quality, FDA-approved products.

How long do dermal fillers last?

The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the area treated, the type of filler used, and individual factors such as metabolism. Generally, results last between 6 to 18 months, with maintenance treatments recommended for optimal results.

Will the treatment hurt?

Discomfort during dermal filler treatment is minimal. Many fillers contain a numbing agent (lidocaine) to enhance comfort. Additionally, a topical numbing cream can be applied to sensitive areas prior to treatment.

How soon will I see results after dermal fillers?

Results are visible immediately after treatment, but mild swelling or redness may occur, subsiding within a few days. Full results are typically seen once the filler settles, usually within two weeks.

Are there any side effects of dermal fillers?

Common side effects are mild and include swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days. Serious complications are rare but emphasize the importance of choosing a skilled practitioner.

What should I avoid after getting dermal fillers?

To ensure the best results, avoid: Intense physical activity for 24-48 hours. Alcohol and blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin) to reduce bruising. Direct sun exposure, saunas, and hot tubs for 48 hours. Touching or massaging the treated area unless instructed by your practitioner.

Will my results look natural?

When performed by a skilled practitioner, dermal fillers are tailored to enhance your features subtly and naturally. Open communication during your consultation ensures your desired outcome aligns with the treatment plan.

What happens if I don’t like my results?

One of the benefits of Hyaluronic Acid-based fillers is that they are reversible. If you’re unhappy with the results, your practitioner can use an enzyme called hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler.

Am I a good candidate for dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are suitable for individuals looking to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, or smooth fine lines. A consultation with a qualified practitioner will help determine if the treatment aligns with your aesthetic goals.

How much downtime is required?

Dermal fillers have minimal downtime. Most clients resume normal activities immediately, though some may experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically subsides within a few days.
