Fillers

Fine lines and wrinkles can subtly but significantly alter your appearance, making you look older than you feel.

If you are seeking a non-surgical solution to restore your youthful look and enhance your natural beauty, dermal fillers might be the answer. These treatments offer a quick and effective way to smooth out wrinkles, add volume, and rejuvenate your skin.

What are Fillers?

Fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable treatments designed to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These treatments are made from various substances, including hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).

At Elisiano Dermatology & Aesthetics, we offer nearly every option for filler depending on what is right for your individual needs and area being treated. Each type of filler serves different purposes and can be used to target specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks, lips, and around the eyes. Fillers work by filling in wrinkles and hollow areas, providing immediate results that can last from several months to a couple of years, depending on the type of filler used.

Advantages of Fillers

Fillers offer several compelling benefits that make them a popular choice for facial rejuvenation. Here’s why these treatments stand out:

Immediate Results

One of the most attractive features of fillers is the immediate improvement in the appearance of lines and wrinkles. You can walk out of the treatment session with visibly smoother and plumper skin.

Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive

Fillers provide a non-surgical option for enhancing your appearance. The treatment involves only a few small injections, minimizing the risks and recovery time associated with surgical procedures.

Versatility

Dermal fillers can address a variety of aesthetic concerns. Whether you want to smooth out nasolabial folds, enhance your lips, or restore volume to your cheeks, fillers can be tailored to meet your specific needs.

Natural-Looking Results

Fillers are designed to integrate seamlessly with your skin, providing subtle and natural-looking enhancements. The results are refined enough to maintain your natural facial expressions.

What to Expect During Treatment

During a filler treatment session, our provider will begin with a consultation to discuss your goals and assess your facial structure. They will clean the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Using a fine needle, the filler is then injected into the targeted areas. The procedure typically takes about 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the injections. After the treatment, you may notice some immediate improvements, with full results becoming more apparent as any swelling subsides.

Aftercare Tips

To maximize the benefits of your filler treatment and ensure optimal results, follow these aftercare tips:

Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours after your injection. This helps prevent the filler from shifting and ensures it works effectively on the targeted areas.

Drinking plenty of water is vital for maintaining skin hydration and supporting the filler’s effects. Proper hydration can enhance the overall appearance of your skin.

Protect your skin from direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for at least a week. Sun exposure can increase the risk of swelling and prolong the healing process.

For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid vigorous exercise and activities that might cause excessive sweating. This reduces the risk of swelling and bruising.

Adhere to any additional aftercare instructions provided by our experts. They know best how to care for your skin post-treatment and ensure you achieve the best results.
