How Dermal Fillers Work
Dermal fillers are smooth, gel-like substances carefully placed beneath the skin to add or restore volume. Depending on the product and treatment area, filler may help define facial contours, support surrounding tissue, enhance symmetry or soften the appearance of selected lines and folds.
What Fillers Can Do
Restore Volume
Replenish areas affected by natural volume loss and create a more refreshed appearance.
Enhance Contours
Refine the lips, cheeks, chin or jawline while respecting your natural facial proportions.
Soften Lines
Improve the appearance of selected facial folds and lines caused by volume changes and skin structure.
Improve Balance
Combine multiple treatment areas to create more harmonious, full-face proportions.
Common Treatment Areas
Approved uses vary by filler product and treatment area. Temple and other specialized treatments are offered only when considered appropriate by a qualified licensed provider.
Understanding Filler Options
Different fillers have different textures, structures and purposes. Your provider will select a product based on the treatment area, degree of support needed, desired movement and your individual goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my filler look natural?
Natural-looking results are the focus of our approach. Your provider will evaluate your facial proportions and recommend an amount and placement intended to enhance rather than overpower your natural features.
Which areas should I treat?
The recommended areas depend on your anatomy and goals. Sometimes treating one supporting area, such as the chin or cheeks, may create better facial balance than focusing only on the area where you first noticed a concern.
How long do fillers last?
Duration varies according to the filler material, product, treatment area, amount used, metabolism and individual response. Most fillers are temporary and gradually absorbed by the body.
Is there downtime?
Swelling, tenderness, redness and bruising may occur after treatment. Your provider will explain expected recovery, aftercare instructions and when to contact the practice about any concerns.
Are fillers the same as Botox?
No. Dermal fillers add or restore volume beneath the skin. Neuromodulators such as Botox temporarily reduce selected muscle activity associated with expression lines. Your provider may recommend one treatment or a personalized combination.
Is filler appropriate for everyone?
No. A licensed healthcare provider must review your medical history, allergies, medications, previous treatments, anatomy and goals to determine whether filler treatment is appropriate.
Dermal fillers are prescription medical devices that must be administered by a qualified licensed healthcare provider. All procedures have potential risks, including swelling, bruising, infection, nodules and rare but serious complications involving unintended injection into a blood vessel. Product selection, approved treatment areas and individual suitability are determined during consultation. Individual results vary.
