Dermal Fillers Q & A

What is the purpose of dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that deliver additional volume in the treatment area. They’re primarily used to replace lost collagen, the soft, smooth substance that naturally gives your skin the plumpness and rounded contouring associated with youth.

Over the years, you naturally lose much of that collagen. Without the same natural padding, your skin begins to sag and pool into lines and wrinkles. Lost facial volume is a leading cause of visible aging, and your body won’t replace that lost collagen on its own.

Dermal fillers offer the chance to temporarily smooth and fill areas of the face that suffer from collagen loss. In the hands of a highly skilled practitioner, they even offer the ability to sculpt your features to make them more aesthetically appealing.

What are some treatment areas that respond well to dermal fillers?

There are many different dermal fillers to choose from, each formulated for use in specific areas of the face. Fillers have a gel-like consistency. In general, thicker fillers are better suited for use in larger areas of the face and to smooth deeper wrinkles, while thinner formulations are a good fit for fine lines and wrinkles.

Some of the uses for dermal fillers include:

Sunken cheeks
Bags beneath the eyes
Crow’s feet
Deep lines from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth
Deep lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin
Hollows on the backs of the hands

Dermal fillers can also plump your lips or refine the definition of your lip lines.

How long do dermal fillers last?

Some fillers last longer than others, and your practitioner can guide you toward the options best suited to your needs. Some dermal fillers create effects that last a few months, while others can last a year or longer.

Research shows that the presence of dermal fillers within the skin prompts your body to create new natural collagen. This new tissue can further enhance volume in the treatment area and will remain in place even after your body naturally absorbs and eliminates the filler material.
