How Dermal Fillers Work

  1. Injection of Filler – A provider injects the filler into specific areas of the face using a fine needle or cannula.
  2. Immediate Volume & Contouring – Fillers plump up the skin, smooth wrinkles, and add definition.
  3. Collagen Stimulation – Some fillers (like Radiesse and Sculptra) promote collagen production for long-term skin improvement.
  4. Gradual Absorption – Over time, the body naturally metabolizes the filler, requiring maintenance treatments.

Common Treatment Areas

  • Lips – Enhances fullness and definition.
  • Cheeks – Restores lost volume for a lifted look.
  • Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines) – Softens deep creases.
  • Jawline & Chin – Adds structure and definition.
  • Under-Eyes (Tear Troughs) – Reduces hollowness and dark circles.
  • Hands – Restores youthful volume.

Benefits

  • Instant or Gradual Results – HA fillers show immediate results, while collagen stimulators work over time.
  • Non-Surgical & Minimal Downtime – Quick procedure with little to no recovery time.
  • Customizable & Reversible (HA Fillers) – HA fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.
  • Natural-Looking Enhancements – When done correctly, fillers provide subtle and youthful results.

What are hyaluronic acid dermal fillers?

Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in all living things, including the human body. Hyaluronic acid attracts water, which creates additional fullness, gives your skin a full, plump, and youthful appearance, and is the primary component of several dermal fillers.

Dermal fillers are especially useful in restoring lost volume in the lines that run from your nose to the corners of your mouth.

RestylaneⓇ

Restylane is a clear gel form of hyaluronic acid made from a specific type of bacteria in a laboratory setting. It is used to provide fullness to moderate to severe wrinkles or folds. Restylane is also used to plump lips.

JuvedermⓇ

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid that takes the form of a smooth, malleable gel. The gel is injected into areas where moderate to severe folds or wrinkles are noted. Juvederm offers results that last from 9-12 months.

RadiesseⓇ

Radiesse is a dermal filler that prompts your body to produce its own collagen. The filler is made of tiny microspheres of Calcium Hydroxylapatite suspended in a gel and provides fullness immediately after the injection.  It is slowly absorbed and metabolized by your body and eventually leaves newly produced collagen in its place.

There are numerous dermal fillers to choose from, each with a unique set of characteristics.
