DERMAL FILLER

WHAT ARE
DERMAL FILLERS?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that attracts and holds moisture. When placed strategically, fillers can:

Restore lost volume

Enhance facial structure

Smooth lines and folds

Improve symmetry

Create a more youthful, refreshed appearance

Not all dermal fillers are the same. Some have more support. Some attract more water. We carry multiple types of filler from multiple brands so that we can use the optimal product in a given area to give you the best results.

HOW DO DERMAL FILLERS WORK?

Dermal fillers work by gently restoring the volume and structure that naturally diminish with age. Most modern fillers are made from hyaluronic acid — a substance your body already produces to keep skin hydrated and plump. When placed strategically beneath the skin, fillers lift and contour the tissues, smooth lines, and enhance features like the lips, cheeks, chin, and jawline. The result isn’t a “different” face, but a more balanced, refreshed version of your own. Because hyaluronic acid attracts water, the treated areas look soft and natural, and results can be adjusted or refined over time. This makes fillers an ideal option for women who want subtle, elegant improvement without looking overdone.

WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?

Dermal Fillers can be used to treat various areas of the face to reduce enhance or restore volume and achieve a smoother appearance. Common treatment areas include:

Lips – for soft, natural fullness and refined shape
Cheeks – to lift and restore youthful contour
Nasolabial folds – to soften smile lines
Marionette lines – to smooth shadows around the mouth
Chin – for improved projection and facial balance
Jawline – to create definition and structure
Tear troughs / under‑eyes – to reduce hollowness and tired appearance
Temples – to restore volume loss and support the upper face
Smile lines / perioral area – to smooth fine lines around the mouth
Overall facial balancing – subtle adjustments to harmonize proportions

Because each area requires its own technique and product selection, treatments are customized to create natural, harmonious results that fit your unique features.

What To Expect During Your Appointment

Pre-Treatment Instructions

To ensure the safest and most refined results:

Avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior
Avoid NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin) and supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, and turmeric for 3–5 days if medically appropriate, as they may increase bruising
Arrive with clean skin (no makeup on the treatment area). Makeup will need to be removed prior to treatment
Reschedule if you are feeling unwell or have an active infection
Inform your injector if you are pregnant, are breastfeeding, have a history of bleeding disorders or take blood thinners

For optimal results and minimal side effects:

DO:

Remain upright for 4 hours
Gently move the treated muscles for the first hour (optional but may enhance uptake)
Use ice packs if needed for comfort
Expect small bumps at injection sites — these resolve within minutes to hours

AVOID:

Rubbing, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated areas for 24 hours
Strenuous exercise for 24 hours
Saunas, hot yoga, or heat exposure for 24 hours
Facial treatments, massages, or skincare devices for 7 days

You will likely have immediate swelling after the treatment that will improve over the following 3 days.

Post-Treatment Instructions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do results last?

Results typically last 6–18 months, depending on the area treated, the type of filler used, and your individual metabolism. Areas with more movement (like the lips) may metabolize filler more quickly, while structural areas (like the cheeks or chin) tend to last longer.

What is the downtime after treatment?

Most people return to normal activities right away. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising can occur and typically resolves within a few days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.

Are dermal filler treatments safe?

Yes. When performed by a trained medical professional, dermal fillers are considered very safe. As with any medical procedure, risks exist, but they are minimized through proper assessment, sterile technique, and precise injection methods.

Can filler be dissolved if I don't like the results?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This provides an added layer of safety and flexibility.

How do I know how much filler I need?

During your consultation, we assess your facial anatomy, goals, and natural proportions to create a personalized treatment plan. Some patients benefit from a single syringe, while others may need a more comprehensive approach for full facial balancing.
