What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are non-surgical, injectable treatments designed to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance the contours of your face. Made from hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible substances, these fillers work by replenishing the skin’s natural elasticity and plumpness. Whether you’re looking to soften fine lines, augment your lips, or contour your jawline, dermal fillers offer a customizable solution for achieving a more youthful and balanced appearance.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
During a dermal filler treatment, our skilled injectors strategically place the filler into specific areas of the face. The filler adds volume, lifts sagging tissue, and fills in lines, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Types of Dermal Fillers
We offer a variety of dermal fillers to address different concerns and achieve desired results:
- Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: The most common type, hyaluronic acid fillers provide hydration and volume.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: These fillers offer long-lasting results and are ideal for addressing deeper lines.
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers: Stimulate collagen production for gradual and natural-looking results.

The Dermal Filler Treatment Process
Step 01
Consultation
Step 02
Preparation
On the day of your treatment, the targeted areas will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort. The procedure itself is quick, usually taking about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of areas being treated.
Step 03
Injection
Using a fine needle, the dermal filler is carefully injected into the predetermined areas. Our experts ensure precise placement to achieve natural-looking results. You may feel a slight pinch during the injection, but the discomfort is minimal.
Step 04
Post-Treatment Care
After the treatment, you may experience some minor swelling or redness at the injection sites. These side effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous activities and excessive sun exposure for at least 24 hours after your treatment.
Step 05
Follow-Up
We schedule a follow-up appointment to assess your results and make any necessary adjustments. If you’re thrilled with the outcome, we can also discuss maintenance treatments to keep your results looking fresh.
Safety and Effectiveness of Dermal Fillers
Safety is paramount when it comes to any cosmetic treatment. Dermal fillers are one of the safest non-surgical options for facial enhancement, but it’s important to choose a qualified provider to minimize risks.
- FDA-Approved Products
All the dermal fillers we use at our Carson medical spa are FDA-approved and undergo rigorous testing to ensure their safety and effectiveness. - Minimal Side Effects
Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including slight swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by trained professionals. - Natural Substances
Many dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin. This not only provides a natural-looking result but also reduces the risk of allergic reactions. - Expertise Matters
The skill of the injector plays a significant role in the safety and outcome of your treatment. Our team’s expertise ensures precise placement of fillers, minimizing risks and maximizing results.
FAQs About Dermal Fillers
What are dermal fillers, and how do they work?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most often made with hyaluronic acid, a substance your skin produces naturally. Placed beneath the skin, they restore the appearance of volume where it has been lost and add definition to features such as the cheeks, lips and jawline. The change is visible immediately, and settles over the following days.
What areas can dermal fillers treat?
Fillers are commonly used for the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, chin and jawline, and for restoring the appearance of volume around the temples and under the eyes where appropriate. Different formulations suit different areas, and your provider will match the product to the feature you want to address.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Typically 6 to 24 months, depending on the filler used and on you. Thinner fillers placed in mobile areas such as the lips tend to fade sooner, while firmer fillers used for structure last longer. Your metabolism and the treated area both affect duration, which we will explain.
Do dermal fillers hurt?
Most clients report only mild discomfort. Topical anesthetic is applied to numb the treatment area beforehand, and many fillers also contain lidocaine. You may feel pressure during placement. Tell us if you are uncomfortable at any point, because the pace and comfort options can be adjusted.
Is there downtime after dermal fillers?
Downtime is minimal and most clients return to normal activity straight away. Temporary swelling, redness or small bruises at the injection sites are common and usually settle within a few days. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Plan around events, since bruising is possible.
Can dermal fillers be dissolved or reversed?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you want the result changed or reversed. Not all fillers are reversible, so ask which type is being used before treatment. This is one reason hyaluronic acid fillers are often chosen for a first treatment.

Dermal fillers are priced per syringe, and your total depends on the filler type, the area treated and how many syringes your plan requires. You receive an exact price at your complimentary consultation before treatment.
