What Are Dermal Fillers and How Do They Work?

A dermal filler is a specialized cosmetic product used to fill out wrinkles, correct facial volume loss, and erase other signs of aging. It is injected carefully into appropriate places under the skin, adding volume and reshaping areas that have sunken or creased.

Injectable fillers tend to be gel-like in texture and can contain a variety of skin-safe ingredients. The injection physically adds volume, while the gel’s compounds help moisturize the skin, support collagen production, etc. The main ingredient in JUVEDERM is hyaluronic acid, a compound regularly used in skin care products to keep skin hydrated and healthy.

The subtle, temporary nature of dermal fillers allows for truly natural-looking results. The right amount of filler in the right areas of the face can create a beautiful aesthetic without looking stiff or drastic.

How Can Dermal Fillers Enhance My Appearance?

JUVEDERM can also be safely used alongside other cosmetic procedures to complete the overall look. For example, after a facelift or Botox cosmetic treatment, fillers may be used to shape the face and smooth out lingering facial lines for a truly flawless result.

JUVEDERM can be used for a wide variety of facial rejuvenation and contouring goals.

These include:

Lip augmentation

Removing crow’s feet

Reshaping cheeks, temples, and face contours

Removing marionette, parentheses, or worry lines

Correcting deep nasolabial folds (smile lines)

Improving facial symmetry

Additional Information

There are several safe dermal fillers available from JUVEDERM, designed to dissolve naturally over time. These products typically use hyaluronic acid and last 6-18 months, depending on how deeply they are injected. Because the fillers are formulated with ingredients that support healthy tissue, they are perfectly safe for the body to absorb the compounds as they dissolve.

JUVEDERM Voluma XC is formulated to last longer and is typically used in the cheeks. Other products in this line such as JUVEDERM Volbella XC, Vollure XC, or Ultra XC are designed for specific uses and have varying rates of dissolution.

All of these treatments can be repeated as necessary to maintain the best results.

On the day of your procedure, your face will be cleaned, and you may be given a topical anesthetic to numb the areas being treated. Whether you want JUVEDERM lips or cheeks, or smoother skin free of wrinkles, the process will only take a short time and you should experience only minimal discomfort.

Filler products generally contain some amount of lidocaine to make the process more comfortable, and we’ll make sure the area is properly prepared for the best experience. There shouldn’t be any pain during or after the procedure, though you may experience some sensitivity.

Lip augmentation and wrinkle removal in our Houston facility is an easy one-day procedure with a rapid recovery and immediate results! You may go back to your normal activities and might experience mild bruising or swelling that should disappear quickly.

Dermal filler complications are very rare, especially with JUVEDERM fillers. JUVEDERM Volbella XC issues are usually mild reactions, and the same is true of Voluma XC, Vollure XC, and Ultra XC. Some of these uncommon reactions include:

Bruising, swelling, or bleeding from the injection site
Redness, infection, acne-like conditions, or skin rash
Lumps or palpable areas of filler beneath the skin

Almost all reactions to dermal fillers resolve quickly with no permanent skin damage. Your experienced team will discuss the risk factors particular to your procedure and make sure you are comfortable with your decision.

It’s important to be as open and honest as possible during your consultation and any other discussions. For the safety and success of your procedure, make sure you share any relevant information about previous procedures, family history of reactions, major medical issues, etc.

It’s also important to be honest afterward. Let your surgeon know right away if you experience side effects or have any other concerns. Addressing issues quickly is key to good long-term results.

Financing Options for Facial Rejuvenation

Because things like facial rejuvenation are generally considered cosmetic, dermal fillers aren’t typically covered by health insurance. Without that support, the procedure can seem out of reach. At the Aesthetic Surgery Institute, however, we strive to make dermal fillers more accessible.

Our prices for dermal fillers are very affordable, and financing options are available. We also offer a variety of changing discounts and promotions. There is no reason to let the cost of JUVEDERM facial rejuvenation treatment keep you from the cheek enhancement or lip augmentation you want.
