How Fillers Work
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These fillers, often made from hyaluronic acid, are designed to mimic the skin’s natural components, providing a rejuvenated appearance without surgery. They attract and retain moisture, plumping the skin from within.
The process works by injecting small amounts of the filler into targeted areas, such as:
- The cheeks
- The lips
- Around the mouth
Dermal fillers can be used to:
- Correct deep lines, such as nasolabial folds
- Improve facial symmetry
- Reshape features like the nose or chin
What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?
- Immediate Results: Unlike many treatments, which require weeks or months to show improvement, dermal fillers' results are visible almost immediately after the procedure. This makes them an excellent option for those seeking quick enhancements.
- Non-Surgical Solution: Fillers provide a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures, allowing patients to achieve significant improvements in facial volume and contour without the need for incisions, anesthesia, or lengthy recovery times.
- Customizable Treatments: Dermal fillers can be tailored to each patient's needs. Whether you want plump lips, smooth wrinkles, restore volume to cheeks, or enhance facial symmetry, the treatment can be customized to your goals.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience little to no downtime after receiving dermal fillers. You can often return to your daily activities immediately, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
- Natural-Looking Results: When administered by an experienced provider, such as Dr. Alexander, dermal fillers offer subtle, natural-looking enhancements that complement your features rather than dramatically alter them.
- Versatility: Fillers can address multiple areas of concern, from deep lines around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds) to hollows under the eyes and fine lines around the lips. They can also sculpt the nose or chin and define the jawline.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Depending on the type of filler used, the results can last anywhere from several months to over a year. By rejuvenating your appearance and enhancing your natural beauty, fillers help you look and feel your best.
Fillers at Ashlin Alexander Facial Cosmetic Surgery
Our practice offers two of the most advanced and trusted dermal fillers in the industry: Juvederm and Voluma. Both are part of the Juvederm family of fillers, designed to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours, but each has its unique applications and benefits.
Juvederm
Juvederm is a versatile hyaluronic acid-based filler that effectively addresses moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It’s ideal for smoothing out nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and marionette lines. Juvederm is also perfect for enhancing lip volume, providing a plump, youthful pout with natural-looking results. The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm attracts water, creating a soft and hydrated look that rejuvenates the skin. Results are instant and can last up to a year, depending on the area treated.
Juvederm Voluma
Voluma is specifically designed to restore volume to the mid-face and cheeks, areas that tend to lose volume as we age. This filler is thicker and more robust than traditional Juvederm, providing long-lasting lift and contour to the cheeks, enhancing facial symmetry, and adding youthful fullness. Voluma’s unique formulation allows it to last longer—up to two years—making it an excellent option for those looking to achieve more pronounced cheekbones or restore volume in sunken areas of the face.
What to Expect Before, During, and After
Consultation
Before receiving dermal fillers, we’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any concerns. We will also assess your facial structure, skin type, and areas of concern to determine the best filler and the appropriate treatment plan.
Treatment
We may apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. The filler is then injected using a fine needle or cannula into the targeted areas. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure, but most patients find the treatment relatively comfortable. Depending on the treated areas, it typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Recovery
Immediately following the treatment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are normal and usually subside within a few days. Dr. Alexander goes the extra mile to ensure your experience is as pain-free as possible and minimizes swelling and bruising through his careful and thoughtful techniques.
You can return to your daily activities right away, though it’s recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and sun exposure for 24-48 hours to allow the fillers to settle.
Results
Results from dermal fillers are visible almost instantly, with full effects becoming more apparent as any swelling diminishes. Depending on the type of filler used, results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. To maintain your results, follow-up treatments may be needed, and we will discuss a personalized plan to ensure you enjoy long-lasting benefits.
