Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, most commonly made from hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring substance in your skin), that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They can rejuvenate your appearance by plumping up areas that have lost elasticity and fat over time.

Fillers are incredibly versatile and can be used in many areas of the face and hands. Common treatment areas include:

Lips: For added volume, definition, and to smooth fine lines around the mouth.

Cheeks: To restore lost volume, lift sagging skin, and enhance cheekbones.

Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines): To soften the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth.

Marionette Lines: To reduce the lines extending from the corners of the mouth downwards.

Under-eyes (Tear Troughs): To diminish dark circles and hollowness.

Jawline and Chin: To enhance definition and balance facial proportions.

A filler treatment typically begins with a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and determine the best treatment plan. Before injections, the treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort. The filler is then carefully injected using a fine needle or cannula. The entire process, including consultation, can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of areas being treated.

We prioritize your comfort. While individual pain tolerance varies, most people report only mild discomfort during filler injections. Many fillers contain lidocaine (a local anesthetic) to numb the area during the injection, and we can also apply a topical numbing cream beforehand. We use techniques designed to minimize discomfort, making the experience as comfortable as possible.

The results of dermal fillers are typically visible immediately after your treatment. You'll notice an immediate improvement in volume and a reduction in lines and wrinkles. While there might be some initial swelling or bruising, the full, settled results will become apparent as any swelling subsides, usually within a few days to a week.

The longevity of filler results varies depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Generally, hyaluronic acid fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 18 months, and some specialized fillers even longer. Maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain your desired look. During your consultation, we'll discuss the expected duration for your specific treatment plan.
