What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are biocompatible substances injected into the skin to add volume, reduce the appearance of lines and folds, and enhance facial contours. Several types of dermal fillers are available, each with different compositions, longevity, and best uses.

What Are Biostimulators?

A biostimulator is a type of dermal filler that boosts collagen production to build and maintain volume over time. Our expert injectors can achieve a naturally rejuvenated look using biostimulators alone, or in combination with other types of fillers. 

Who Is a Candidate for Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are an excellent option for adults looking to enhance their appearance without surgery.

The best way to determine candidacy is through a personalized consultation, where our experienced injectors assess your facial anatomy, areas of concern, and overall goals. With a deep understanding of the full range of filler products and biostimulators, they carefully select the option best suited to your needs for natural, balanced results.

During your consultation, our injectors will evaluate concerns such as:

  • Mild to moderate lines, volume loss, or early skin laxity
  • Areas where added definition may enhance your features, such as the cheeks, lips, or jawline
  • Your preference for a minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime
  • Your overall health and expectations for treatment outcomes
  • Your desire for subtle, natural-looking enhancement

Based on this assessment, your injector will recommend a customized treatment plan—and the most appropriate products—to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

What To Expect From Your Treatment

Your dermal filler treatment is a quick, in-office procedure that begins with a personalized consultation and is completed in about 30 to 60 minutes with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.

During your consultation, we assess:

  • Facial structure, symmetry, and overall face shape
  • Areas of volume loss related to age
  • Skin type, thickness, and elasticity
  • How your features move at rest and with expression
  • Your lifestyle and desired level of enhancement

Using this information—and a deep understanding of the differences between HA fillers and biostimulators—our injectors carefully select the most appropriate products and precise injection points to achieve balanced, natural-looking results.

Most fillers contain a built-in numbing agent, and additional measures such as ice or topical numbing cream can be used to enhance your comfort throughout treatment.

What To Expect After Treatment

Recovery time is minimal, though mild swelling and bruising may occur. These effects typically subside within a few days. Most patients resume normal activities immediately but should avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

The longevity of results varies by product:

  • Hyaluronic acid fillers (JUVÉDERM and Restylane): 6 to 24 months, depending on the formulation and treatment area
  • Sculptra: Up to 2 years or longer, with collagen-building effects improving over time
  • RADIESSE: 12 to 18 months before touch-ups are needed

Results can vary based on individual metabolism, lifestyle factors, and the specific filler used. Regular touch-up treatments will maintain your results.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

The benefits of dermal fillers include:

  • Immediate results
  • Restored facial volume
  • Smoother skin
  • Natural-looking enhancements
  • Long-lasting effects
  • Minimally invasive
  • Increased collagen production
  • Customizable treatment
  • Little to no downtime

Fillers allow us to customize treatments for subtle or dramatic results, helping you achieve a refreshed and youthful look that aligns with your goals.

Combining Dermal Fillers With Other Treatments

Many patients combine dermal fillers with other cosmetic treatments for more extensive facial rejuvenation. By addressing multiple concerns simultaneously, you can achieve a balanced, natural-looking enhancement.

Popular Combination Treatments:

  • BOTOX® or Dysport®: Smooths dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. This combination of fillers and neuromodulators is often called a full face rejuvenation.
  • KYBELLA®: Reduces submental fat under the chin for a more sculpted profile
  • Laser and light-based treatments: Enhances skin tone and texture by reducing pigmentation and fine lines.
  • Chemical peels: Improves overall skin radiance by exfoliating and promoting collagen production.

Your provider will discuss the best combination of treatments to help you reach your aesthetic goals.
