Fillers
Dermal fillers are FDA-approved injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and soften lines and folds. As we age, natural collagen and hyaluronic acid levels decline, leading to hollowing and permanent lines at rest. Fillers work by replenishing this lost structure, helping to create a refreshed, balanced, and natural-appearing result. When performed by experienced providers, dermal fillers can subtly enhance facial features while maintaining your unique facial expressions.
Dermal fillers are commonly used to restore volume in areas affected by aging, including the cheeks, lips, temples, jawline, and under-eye region. They can also soften deeper lines such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines, enhance lip shape, and improve facial symmetry. Fillers may be used alone or in combination with other treatments to achieve optimal facial balance.
Filler injections are performed in the office and the entire procedure (including topically numbing and injections) typically takes 30–45 minutes. After cleansing the skin, the provider carefully places the filler using fine needles or cannulas, tailoring the treatment to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Most fillers contain a local anesthetic to improve comfort, and downtime is minimal, though mild swelling or bruising can occur. sun‑protection.
Results from dermal fillers are visible immediately and continue to improve as swelling subsides. Depending on the product used, treatment area, and individual metabolism, results typically last 6 to 18 months. Maintenance treatments can help preserve results over time, and your provider will guide you on an appropriate treatment plan.
Biostimulatory fillers are injectable treatments that work by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production rather than simply adding immediate volume. Products such as Sculptra® and diluted Radiesse® gradually improve skin thickness, firmness, and overall quality over time. These treatments are often used to restore volume loss, improve skin laxity, and enhance skin texture in areas such as the face, neck, jawline, and décolletage. Results develop gradually and tend to look very natural, with benefits that can last longer than traditional fillers.
