Dermal fillers are a popular way to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial features. They provide natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Whether you want fuller lips, defined cheekbones, or a refreshed appearance, dermal fillers can help.
How Dermal Fillers Work
Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from substances like hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the skin. Once injected, fillers add volume and stimulate collagen production, helping to maintain a youthful look.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
- Plump lips for a fuller, balanced shape
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles for a refreshed appearance
- Restore lost volume in cheeks and under eyes
- Define the jawline and chin for a sculpted look
- Improve skin hydration and elasticity
Dr. Tia Harper explains, “Dermal fillers are an excellent option for those looking for subtle enhancements. They provide immediate results with little to no recovery time.”
Types of Dermal Fillers
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: Hydrate and plump the skin. Great for lips, cheeks, and under-eye areas.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Fillers: Provide structure and stimulate collagen. Ideal for deeper wrinkles and facial contouring.
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers: Gradually rebuild collagen over time. Best for volume loss and skin tightening.
- Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Fillers: Offer long-lasting support for deeper folds and wrinkles.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The longevity of fillers depends on the type and treatment area:
- Lip Fillers: 6 to 12 months
- Cheek Fillers: 12 to 24 months
- Under-Eye Fillers: Up to 12 months
- Jawline and Chin Fillers: 12 to 18 months
“I always customize treatment plans based on my patients’ goals,” says Dr. Harper. “The key is to create natural results that enhance their features.”
Dermal Fillers vs. Botox
- Dermal Fillers: Restore volume, contour the face, and smooth wrinkles.
- Botox/Dysport: Relax facial muscles to prevent dynamic wrinkles.
- Combination Treatments: Many patients benefit from both for a balanced, youthful look.
Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
Yes! When performed by a certified injector, dermal fillers are safe and effective. Side effects are minimal, such as mild swelling or bruising. Choosing a skilled provider ensures natural-looking and safe results.
