What Are Injectable Fillers?

We all experience fine lines, wrinkles, lost volume, and lost facial definition as we age. Gravity tends to start pulling our face downward, and issues with skin laxity develop. There is an array of safe and effective dermal fillers that can treat these signs of aging and help you gain your confidence back. If you want to restore youthful volume, smooth wrinkles, or enhance facial contours without surgery, injectable fillers may provide the solution you need.

Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances used to treat a wide range of cosmetic concerns. Each brand of filler has a unique formula that treats specific issues in different targeted areas of the face. These advanced treatments can lift, contour, and reshape areas of concern you want to improve.

Common benefits of injectable fillers include:

Restored facial volume and definition
Smoothed fine lines and wrinkles
Enhanced lip volume and shape
Improved facial contours and balance
Natural-looking, long-lasting results
Minimal downtime with immediate results

Dermal fillers primarily rejuvenate appearance by restoring structure and balance to various areas of the face.

How Do Injectable Fillers Work?

Injectable fillers work by adding volume beneath the skin’s surface to smooth wrinkles, restore lost volume, and enhance facial contours. Most modern fillers use hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring sugar in our bodies that adds suppleness, hydration, and elasticity to the skin. During treatment, our dermatologists strategically inject the filler into targeted areas to achieve your desired results. The way everyone carries their signs of aging differs, so we take a conservative, individualized approach with every patient we see. Depending on which filler we use and where we place it, results usually last between 9 and 24 months, with an average treatment time of 30-45 minutes. Our patients appreciate the artistic approach and natural-looking outcomes we achieve.

What Areas Can Injectable Fillers Treat?

The primary uses for dermal fillers include:

Lips (volume enhancement and shape improvement)
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Marionette lines (lines from mouth corners to chin)
Cheeks (volume restoration and contouring)
Under-eye area (tear trough correction)

Additional areas that benefit from filler treatment:

Temple volume
Jawline definition and contouring
Chin enhancement and projection
Vertical lip lines and lip borders
Facial asymmetry correction

Our expert cosmetic dermatologists will assess which areas will benefit most from filler treatment based on your individual concerns and aesthetic goals.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Injectable Fillers?

Ideal candidates for injectable fillers include individuals who:

Want to restore lost facial volume due to aging
Seek to smooth fine lines and wrinkles
Desire enhanced lip volume or definition
Want to improve facial contours and balance
Prefer non-surgical aesthetic treatments
Have realistic expectations about treatment outcomes

Dr. Potozkin, Dr. Ellis, and Dr. Wall specialize in minimally-to-non-invasive procedures, and can help you achieve ideal results with the perfect blend of art, science, and care.
