What are Dermal Fillers?

As we age, our face begins losing volume - up to a teaspoon per year! This can leave your face looking hollow, drawn, or saggy.

Dermal fillers are gel-like injections of hyaluronic acid that work under the surface of the skin to plump up tissue. The result is a smooth, sculpted, youthful appearance.

Restore lost volume with fillers.

FAQs about dermal filler

  • After consultation to determine your best treatment plan, we’ll apply a numbing agent to the area to be treated.

    While this takes effect, we will prepare a syringe with your filler.

    The filler is then placed strategically throughout the treatment area and massaged to achieve exact placement - this step may involve several injections to ensure a balanced and natural result.

    Depending on the areas being treated, the process could be as quick as 15 minutes.

  • Most patients report minimal discomfort and pressure during the injection of fillers.

    We use numbing agents before this procedure to aid in patient comfort.

  • You can resume most normal activity immediately after the administration of dermal fillers, with minimal recovery restrictions.

    • You may experience swelling, redness or bruising around the injection site.

    • Limit vigorous exercise for 48 hours after the procedure.

    • Treat discomfort with over-the-counter pain reliever or the application of ice packs.

    Results improve over 2-10 days as the filler settles. During this time, you may see changes in the contours of the treated area - this is normal.

    Full healing can be expected within two weeks, depending on the filler used and scope of treatment.

  • Dermal fillers last from several months to several years depending on the filler used and the patient injected.
