Restore youthful volume and smooth out wrinkles with dermal fillers. These injectable treatments address facial volume loss, fine lines, and deep wrinkles, providing natural-looking results. Whether enhancing cheekbones, filling nasolabial folds, or plumping lips, dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution for a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Restore volume and rejuvenate the face
Dermal fillers are injectables formulated to restore volume, smooth lines, and rejuvenate the face. They are made of various gel-like substances that mimic the body’s natural tissue, such as hyaluronic acid, a key component in popular brands like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®. These fillers can address concerns such as sagging cheeks, hollow under-eye areas, deep nasolabial folds, and thin lips. The procedure is minimally invasive and provides immediate results with little to no downtime.
Dermal fillers treat:
- Loss of volume in the cheeks
- Deep wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth
- Thin or uneven lips
- Hollow under-eye areas
- Chin and jawline contours
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (lines extending from the corners of the mouth)
- Temporal hollows (sunken temples)
- Acne scars or other facial depressions
Types of dermal fillers
JUVÉDERM
JUVÉDERM is a collection of hyaluronic acid-based fillers that work by replenishing lost volume and hydrating the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture, providing volume and elasticity to the skin. When injected into targeted areas, JUVÉDERM fillers attract water molecules, allowing the skin to appear plumper and smoother. The JUVÉDERM family includes products tailored for different concerns, from fine lines to deep folds, ensuring personalized treatment for optimal outcomes.
Restylane
Restylane is another line of hyaluronic acid-based fillers that work by adding volume and smoothing facial wrinkles. Like JUVÉDERM, Restylane utilizes the body’s natural hyaluronic acid, which binds to water in the skin, creating a fuller, more youthful appearance. Restylane has a unique cross-linking technology that enhances its ability to integrate smoothly into the skin, providing long-lasting, natural results. Depending on the product chosen, Restylane can treat a range of concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to facial volume loss.

Dermal fillers FAQs
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The duration of dermal filler results varies depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and your individual metabolism. Generally, hyaluronic acid-based fillers like JUVÉDERM and Restylane can last anywhere from 6 months to 18 months. Some areas, such as the lips, may require touch-ups more frequently, while others, like the cheeks or nasolabial folds, tend to hold results longer. Periodic maintenance treatments are required to sustain the results.
Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
Yes, dermal fillers are generally very safe when administered by a qualified and experienced practitioner. Both JUVÉDERM and Restylane, two of the most popular hyaluronic acid-based fillers, are FDA-approved and have been used for many years. However, as with any medical treatment, there are risks, including swelling, bruising, or the potential for lumps or infection at the injection sites. Choosing a skilled professional can minimize these risks.
Will I Look Fake or Overdone With Dermal Fillers?
When performed by a skilled and experienced injector, dermal fillers provide natural-looking results. Dr. Sahar Nadimi’s goal is to enhance your appearance subtly, avoiding an overly “done” or artificial look. If you’re concerned, discuss your expectations with your provider to ensure you’re both on the same page about the desired outcome.
What Can I Expect During a Dermal Filler Treatment?
During a dermal filler session, your provider will discuss your goals and mark the areas where the filler will be injected. Depending on the number of areas being treated, the treatment lasts 15 to 45 minutes. A topical numbing cream may also be applied to minimize any discomfort. You may feel a slight pinch as the filler is injected, but most people report minimal pain.
How Soon Will I See Results After Getting Dermal Fillers?
As soon as the filler is injected, it begins to plump and smooth the treated area. While some swelling or bruising may initially obscure the outcome, the final results are usually visible within a few days to a week. Over the next few weeks, the filler integrates with the surrounding tissue, and the skin appears smoother, firmer, and more youthful.
