Dermal fillers are a generic term that describes a material that you can inject to address a contour problem. Anything can function as filler as long as it doesn’t harm the body. Salt water can be injected with a very positive result; it simply won’t last.
We have many dermal filler injectable treatments in the U.S. There are many more available around the world. Some are safe; others have very severe potential problems. It is always best to stick to products, which have been approved by the FDA.

Fillers are described by what makes them. There are fillers made from collagen. Fillers made from hydroxyapatite (a bone like material). The most common fillers in the U.S. such as Juvéderm® XC and Juvéderm Voluma™ XC are made from Hyaluronic Acid (a material that is identical to a substance in all of our tissues). Different manufacturers make these products, and each of these products have different characteristics. Some are long lasting; some are short lasting. Some are soft; some are hard.
With so many products available, how do we decide what to use? This is where knowledge and experience is extremely important. What works in one place may not work in the other.

Dermal fillers provide temporary enhancement to facial features and typically last between 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors like metabolism. During treatment, your nurse injector will first cleanse the area and may apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The filler is then injected strategically into the target areas using a fine needle or cannula.
Immediate Effects:
- Immediate Results: You’ll notice immediate improvement in volume and smoother skin texture.
- Minor Side Effects: Mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites may occur but usually resolves within a few days.
Long-Term Effects:
- Natural Integration: The filler integrates with your skin tissue over time, maintaining natural-looking results.
- Maintenance: To sustain optimal results, follow-up treatments are typically needed as the filler gradually dissipates.
Consultation and Safety:
- Customized Plan: Your provider will customize a treatment plan based on your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
- Safety: Dermal fillers are safe, but choosing an experienced provider reduces risks and ensures desired outcomes.
Understanding these aspects ensures informed decisions and satisfactory results from your dermal filler treatment.
