Frequently Asked Questions about Fillers

What are fillers?

Fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable substances that help minimize the early signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

How do fillers work?

Fillers work by “filling in” fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing out your skin. Fillers can also help restore lost volume to your face.

Why should I choose fillers?

Filler treatment offers some important benefits. Consider that filler treatment:

• Is fast, with each procedure taking only about 15 minutes
• Provides immediate results, with your skin appearing smoother only minutes after treatment
• Offers long-lasting results, which you can enjoy for up to one year
• Is convenient, requiring no downtime, so you can easily get back to your day

What can I expect during filler treatment?

Your dermatologist will discuss the types of fillers with you and help you decide on what’s best for your needs. Most people tolerate injections well, and your dermatologist can offer you a numbing spray beforehand. Small amounts of filler are injected just under your skin using a tiny needle.

What are the different types of fillers?

• Bellafil, which is recommended for deep wrinkles and folds, including the nasolabial fold
• Radiesse, which is recommended for frown lines and creases around the nose
• Sculptra, which stimulates collagen production and plumps the skin
• Restylane, which is recommended for replacing lost volume in your face and to prevent facial sagging
