What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to smooth wrinkles, restore lost volume, and enhance facial contours. A major benefit of dermal fillers is their customizability—whether you prefer a subtle enhancement or a more defined transformation, your injector will tailor the treatment to meet your aesthetic goals.

The most common fillers are made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that retains moisture and elasticity in the skin. HA-based fillers bind to water molecules, keeping your skin hydrated, plump, and youthful-looking. Other types of fillers include biostimulating fillers that help stimulate collagen production over time.

Each filler type serves a unique purpose, and our expert injectors will guide you in choosing the best option for your skin goals.

What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are an effective anti-aging treatment that helps create instant volume beneath your skin. You can have various areas treated, all the while keeping a naturally enhanced appearance with several benefits.

This is a non-surgical procedure, so you can have your dermal fillers injected in the morning and return to your daily tasks right after.

Dermal fillers are injected directly into your targeted areas, providing immediate volume that smooths and plumps your skin. These results continue to improve over days and will last from several months to a year.

These anti-aging treatments can be tailored to the look you want to achieve. If you’re looking for a subtle, natural look, you can focus on areas that will give you a gentle lift, or add more filler for more dramatic results.

By injecting into areas of the face that have lost their natural fullness, dermal fillers can revitalize areas where aging and stress have depleted natural contours.

Dermal filler treatments are typically quick, ranging from 30 minutes to an hour. Depending on your goals and individual needs, you are usually in and out of your injector’s office quickly—walking out the door looking refreshed.

Enhancing natural features with dermal fillers helps reduce the signs of aging, giving a more youthful appearance that can help you feel more comfortable in your skin.

When life’s journeys affect your appearance, dermal fillers offer a non-invasive way to elevate your natural beauty and boost your confidence, giving you long-lasting effects.

What Areas Can Be Treated With Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are versatile and can treat various areas. They can be injected into many facial areas to restore volume for a more youthful appearance. They can also be used as a non-surgical approach to achieving a sharper, more defined profile that refines your overall appearance. The areas they can treat include:

Lips

To give you a plump pout with volume and definition.

Cheeks

To achieve a lifted, youthful appearance by restoring volume.

Under-Eye Area

To reduce the appearance of dark circles and fill in hollowing.

Nasolabial Folds

To smooth deep lines running from the nose to the mouth.

Marionette Lines

To reduce lines running from the corners of the mouth to the chin.

Chin

To improve the contour and profile.

Jawline

To enhance definition and reduce the appearance of jowls.
Looking for a customized transformation? Dermal fillers can be combined with other treatments like neuromodulators (BOTOX®) for a complete non-surgical facelift.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Do Dermal Fillers Cost?

The cost of dermal filler treatments varies based on factors such as the areas being treated, the type of filler used, and the amount of product needed to achieve your desired results. Pricing is personalized to ensure you receive the best treatment plan for your aesthetic goals.

The best way to determine your exact treatment cost is through a consultation. Our expert injectors at Eastside Eye Candy will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your goals, and create a customized approach tailored to your needs.

Your dermal filler treatment is a swift, minimally invasive procedure, typically taking from 15 minutes to an hour. This time will depend on the areas being treated and the amount of filler needed to reach your goals. The injection time itself is fast and simple, and your provider may also gently massage the treated areas afterward to help evenly distribute the filler.
Most patients may feel some minor discomfort, especially if they are not used to needles or have never had injections in their face before. Some areas may be more sensitive than others, but it is a quick procedure that is generally well-tolerated. You may feel a slight pressure or pinching sensation when the filler is being injected, but the discomfort will be brief. If needed, a numbing cream can be applied before your procedure to help reduce any pain.
Dermal fillers are considered safe, but as with any cosmetic procedure, there can be mild and temporary side effects. The most common side effects include redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising at the sites of your injections. These effects usually subside within a few days. Less common side effects, including uneven texture or lumping, can often be treated with gentle massaging by your provider. Rare side effects could include infection, allergic reaction, or even leakage of your filler through the injection site. You must follow all your pre and post-treatment instructions, and if you experience skin discoloration, extreme pain, or prolonged swelling, contact your provider immediately.
Depending on the type of filler used, they can last from several months to several years. Certain brands like Restylane® and JUVÉDERM® can last from 6 to 18 months. However, if the area you plan to treat is in constant movement, you can expect your filler to break down faster. Treatments on areas with lower movement, such as your cheeks, will last longer. Certain calcium hydroxylapatite fillers stimulate your collagen production, making them last up to nearly 2 years.
Good candidates for dermal fillers are adults in good health who want to smooth their wrinkles, restore volume lost over the years, or enhance their natural features without plastic surgery. Dermal fillers are not recommended for those with active skin infections, pregnant or breast-feeding women, or for anyone with severe allergies.
Before your dermal filler treatment, you need to stop taking all blood-thinning medications and supplements (aspirin, fish oil, Vitamin E) for one week. You should stay hydrated, avoid alcohol for 24 hours, and arrive with a clean face (no makeup or lotions). You should also discontinue the use of retinoids before your appointment, as they can make your skin thinner. It is also recommended to eat certain fruits like kiwi and pineapple, as they contain bromelain, an enzyme that is known to help reduce bruising and inflammation.
After your dermal filler treatment, you may experience mild swelling, so it is important to apply ice packs and avoid any strenuous activity. Staying out of the sun, refraining from alcohol, and avoiding saunas and excessive heat are also recommended post-treatment, as excessive heat can cause unnecessary swelling.
