Dermal fillers are one of the most trusted ways to restore lost volume, soften wrinkles, and refresh your appearance without surgery. At Steele Creek Dermatology, our experienced team personalizes every treatment plan to help you look refreshed, confident, and naturally like yourself.
HOW FILLERS WORK
Dermal fillers such as Juvéderm® and Restylane® are gel-like substances made from hyaluronic acid (HA) and injected beneath the skin. As we age, our natural supply of hyaluronic acid declines, which is part of why skin loses structure and fullness over time. Fillers replenish that volume, and many include a built-in anesthetic to help minimize discomfort during treatment.
TREATMENT AREAS
Fillers can smooth static wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines, plump thinning lips, restore fullness to hollowed cheeks or hands, and contour the jawline.
FILLERS AND BOTOX®
Fillers restore volume and smooth lines that are visible at rest. For lines that form with movement, such as frown lines and crow's feet, BOTOX® may be a better fit, and the two are often used together.
TREATMENT
Filler appointments are quick, with most taking under 30 minutes depending on the treatment area, and no surgery required.
RESULTS TIMELINE
Results are visible immediately. Full results settle in over 2 to 4 weeks, so plan ahead if you have an upcoming event.
HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST?
Fillers last from about four months up to a year, depending on the type of filler used and the treatment area.
DOWNTIME AND AFTERCARE
Fillers are minimally invasive, so most patients return to normal activities right away. Mild redness or swelling at the injection site is common and typically resolves quickly. Plan to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and extended sun or heat exposure for 24 hours.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Most healthy adults are good candidates for filler. A consultation with our team is the best way to confirm the right treatment plan for your goals and health history.
