What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that work to replace or enhance facial volume. They’re incredibly popular and offer the chance to refine facial contouring without surgery or invasive procedures. Fillers are also a wonderful fit for people who are not good candidates for light-based therapies.

Dermal fillers create temporary effects that are incredibly natural-looking. Friends and family will notice that you look great, but it won’t be obvious you’ve had “work” done. The subtle effects of dermal fillers are part of why they are such a popular treatment option.

At DNAge Medical, all dermal filler treatments rely on medical-grade products and evidence-based techniques. The goal is to bring out the best aspects of your natural features to create the best version of you, not to alter your appearance radically.

What areas of the face might benefit from dermal fillers?

There are many different dermal fillers to choose from, each formulated for use in a specific area of the face. Some fillers have a thick, gel-like consistency and are great for deep folds like nasolabial folds (running from the nose’s sides to the mouth’s corners) or marionette lines (running from the sides of the mouth to the corners of the chin).

Thinner fillers are perfect for smoothing away vertical lip lines, crow’s-feet, or moderate wrinkles. There are even dermal fillers created for use in the lips or the backs of the hands.

During your consultation, your practitioner assesses your face and discusses your treatment goals before creating a customized treatment plan aligned with your specific needs. Dermal fillers offer the chance to create subtle and refined results.

How long do dermal fillers last?

Most dermal fillers last around 6-12 months, although there are options that can last for several years. During your consultation, you’ll learn what to expect with various options.

Best of all, research shows that dermal fillers also prompt your body to produce new collagen cells. This natural padding helps to smooth and tighten the skin over time, leading to results that last long after your body has processed and eliminated the filler material.

You may want to discuss Sculptra® with your practitioner. This injectable treatment promotes collagen growth rather than adding volume with the filler material. Sculptra requires more patience as results develop over time, but the effects can last up to two years.
