Dermal fillers can help smooth wrinkles, plump the lips, and restore a more youthful appearance by replacing lost volume. Dermal fillers are gel-like compounds that are injected beneath the skin. Dermal fillers are regulated by the FDA as medical devices.

$550-800/vial based on choice of filler, some treatments may require multiple syringes per treatment or multiple treatments

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours. It is a cost-effective way to look younger without surgery or downtime. The most common type of fillers and what’s used in our practice is Hyaluronic acid and Poly-L-lactic Acid.

• Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance that is already found in your skin. It helps keep skin plump and hydrated and adds volume. The results are temporary, lasting 6 to 18 months or longer before the body gradually and naturally absorbs the particles. Most HA fillers are infused with lidocaine which is anesthetic, that helps minimize discomfort during and after treatment. Here are some products we use in our practice:

1. Juvéderm collection
2. Restylane collection
3. Belotero Balance
4. The RHA collection: RHA 2, RHA 3, and RHA 4

• Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a biocompatible (meaning it is safe to use in the body), biodegradable synthetic substance. It has been used for many years in medical devices, such as dissolvable stitches. PLLA products are technically classified as “collagen stimulators,” as their main mechanism to smooth fine lines is by helping your skin rebuild natural collagen—the filler gel itself dissipates a few days after treatment but stimulates collagen production and restores volumes within few months. Results can last more than 2 years. FDA-approved PLLA fillers include Sculptra® Aesthetic.

 Here are a few of the common issues dermal fillers can help address:

• Smooth out lines around the nose and mouth (a.k.a. marionette lines, smile lines, and parentheses)
• Enhance & restore volume to sunken cheeks or temples
• Diminish vertical lip lines
• Plump & enhance the lips
• Smooth out a chin crease
• Improve symmetry among facial feature
• Enhance jaw lines
• Enhance body part, eg add volume to the buttock area

After injection, you might have mild discomfort, bruising, and swelling for up to a week. After the swelling goes down, you might need a touch-up injection for the best results. How long the effect lasts depends on the type of wrinkle and filler, among other factors.
