What Are Dermal Fillers?

Your dermatologist uses dermal fillers to add volume to the face and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Dermal fillers are injections of hyaluronic acid, or poly-L-lactic acid.  Hyaluronic Acid is naturally found in the body. The substance is injected in the form of a biodegradable gel that plumps up the skin, filling in wrinkles, fine lines, and scars.

There are several types of fillers and all are safe and effective. Juvederm, Restalyne, and Sculptra are formulated to target different areas of the face, so talk to our dermatologist about the areas you want to target and which is best for you.

Are Dermal Fillers Right for Me?

If you are looking for an alternative to cosmetic surgery that can refresh your appearance, dermal fillers help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and add volume to the face. Every treatment is customized to you and the area you want to improve. Commonly treated areas include:

1. Jawline
2. Cheeks
3. Laugh lines around the mouth
4. Forehead lines
5. Plump up lips
6. Fill in scars

The results of dermal fillers are visible for several months to a couple of years, but the filler dissolves over time and is absorbed into your body. Talk to your McCall, Nampa, and Treasure Valley, ID dermatologist about the changes you want to see in your face and the results you can expect. We may recommend a series of injections to maintain the best results.

What Is a Filler Appointment Like?

An appointment for dermal fillers may only last 30 minutes. It starts with a consultation over your problem areas and the results you want to see. Your dermatologist performs the injections with a small needle to carefully target wrinkles. You will feel pricks from the needles but it should not be painful, and most patients can return to normal activities immediately.
