What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that use unique formulas to restore lost volume, smooth lines & wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Most fillers are hyaluronic acid (HA)–based, a substance naturally found in the skin that promotes hydration and improves structure. Fillers work by injecting precise amounts of formula directly into targeted facial areas. Once in place, the filler provides immediate results that last for months, without the long-term commitments of other treatments. We can precisely tailor each HA filler plan, adjusting elements like volume, filler type, and placement to best suit your facial anatomy.

How Dermal Fillers Work
Treatment Time
Most dermal filler appointments take about 30 minutes. Your visit could be somewhat longer for more complex plans or when treating multiple areas.
Preparation
We apply a topical numbing agent when needed to improve comfort. Many HA formulations also contain lidocaine to maintain comfort following the injection.
Injection
Your chosen filler is carefully injected into each target area. Injection depth, volume, and technique are adjusted based on your anatomy and goals.
Results
Volume restoration and contour enhancement are visible within moments. Your results continue to refine as swelling subsides over the next 1–2 days.

Dermal Filler FAQs
Most healthy adults experiencing volume loss, facial asymmetry, or early signs of aging are good candidates. Fillers are particularly suitable for patients who want nonsurgical, adjustable results without permanent commitment. Before moving forward with your treatment, we review your medical history to see if you have any risk of allergic reaction or other medical contraindications.
Yes, fillers can readily serve as an adjunct or complement to other cosmetic treatments. Common combinations include:
- Eyelid surgery
- Botox or neuromodulators
- Laser skin resurfacing
Most patients need one treatment session to start. From there, you will only need maintenance injections every 6–18 months, depending on the expected lifespan of your fillers.
All filler treatments at our practice are performed by professional physicians who take every precaution to ensure your safety. The fillers we use are all FDA approved with high safety profiles. The reversibility of fillers adds another layer of safety to each treatment.
It all depends on placement. Overfilling or poor placement can cause unnatural or exaggerated results. We instead opt for balance and conservative dosing. The result is that you obtain a natural look while still addressing your cosmetic concerns.
Most HA fillers last 6–18 months. Filler type is the most significant determinant, but other factors are at play, too. Age plays a central role, and so too does your activity level. For example, patients who are highly active may break down filler more rapidly, leading to less extended results.
A typical scenario will see you returning to work the same day or within 24 hours. If you have minor swelling or bruising, you still could return to work. However, you might prefer to take time off until the swelling fades. A lot of filler patients prefer getting their treatment on a Thursday or Friday so that by the end of the weekend, swelling is gone and only their results are on display.
Absolutely! Male filler treatments are planned with attention to masculine facial structure, proportion, and definition.
There is no ideal age, with the main factor being the concerns you want to address. Patients who solely want to enhance contours might start in their 20s, while age-related concerns can be addressed as they appear. However, the effects of fillers have limitations, so patients with more pronounced signs of aging may find surgical options more suited to reaching their goals.
