Fillers Specialist

What are dermal fillers?

As you age, your skin becomes thinner, drier, and loses its fullness and elasticity, resulting in wrinkles, hollowness, and sagging skin. Dermal fillers are compounds that are injected into your skin to smooth out wrinkles and restore firmness and fullness. 

The team of experts at the Center for Women’s Health prefers Restylane® and Juvéderm® brand fillers. They are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that’s present naturally in abundance in younger skin. 

Restylane contains a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid which has a very low risk of causing allergic reactions. Juvéderm contains purified hyaluronic acid extracted from natural sources and offers long-lasting results. 

Which areas can be treated with fillers?

Dermal fillers can smooth and plump skin in the following areas:

• Smile lines
• Lip lines
• Nasolabial folds
• Jawline
• Cheeks
• Backs of the hands

The licensed providers at the Center for Women’s Health have the expertise to achieve beautiful, natural-looking results with dermal fillers. Fillers can give you a more youthful look without appearing “frozen” or having difficulty making normal facial expressions.

What should I expect during my dermal filler treatment?

After your initial consultation, your experienced provider at the Center for Women’s Health designs a treatment plan to best meet your individual aesthetic goals. 

If you are getting fillers in several locations, your provider may recommend that you have your injections over a few appointments to minimize any discomfort.

Each dermal filler injection session can last up to an hour, depending on the target area and the number of injections needed to achieve your goals. 

Your provider administers a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable before beginning the treatment. They may also draw some marks on your skin to serve as a guide while performing the injections.

You may have some mild irritation, swelling, or bruising after your procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days. 

How long do my results from fillers last?

You should see results immediately following your filler treatment. Depending on the area you are having treated, the brand of filler your provider has selected, and other individual factors, your results last between six months to one year. 

Fillers can give you a fresh, rejuvenated look without surgery. To schedule a consultation for fillers, call the Center for Women’s Health, or use the online scheduler to make an appointment at the office nearest you today.
