What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are often utilized to replace diminished facial volume, which can happen due to significant weight loss and aging. The process works by injecting the liquid filler under the surface of the skin to fill in areas lacking volume or shape. Fillers are an excellent, nonsurgical alternative for individuals wanting to even out sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines in order to create a more youthful look. To help you achieve your cosmetic goals, Beauty & Fly Aesthetic Wellness offers many different types of fillers, including JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC, JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA™ XC, Restylane®, BELOTERO BALANCE®, and Revanesse® Versa™. To determine which dermal fillers are recommended for you, book a consultation at the Bronxville or Bridgehampton, NY location with aesthetic nurse practitioner Catherine Curtin.

What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

For Bridgehampton or Bronxville, NY patients, dermal fillers may work to address several concerns and provide various benefits, such as:

  • Rejuvenating and adding volume to regions that are hollow or flat
  • Improving confidence in your skin and overall aesthetic
  • Providing facial softness to attain your ideal facial shape
  • Smoothing out regions affected by loose skin or creases

Who Is A Candidate for Dermal Fillers?

The best candidates for dermal fillers are those seeking to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without resorting to a surgical facelift. In most situations, those with significant signs of aging or who have recently lost a significant amount of weight have areas on their face that are sunken and shapeless. This makes them good candidates for dermal fillers. They are also a great option for men and women who do not want to risk the scarring that can result from a surgical facelift.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Before your treatment, Catherine will meet with you to learn more about your aesthetic goals and decide which dermal filler injectable may best achieve them. At the time of the actual procedure, she will use topical numbing cream as a local anesthetic to minimize the discomfort of the injections. After she determines the amount of filler that is necessary, she will slowly and gradually inject it through a small syringe in the treatment regions. Depending on the desired outcome, either half or an entire syringe could be used. Results can usually be noticed right after treatment, lasting several months to years, depending on which product was used.

What Should I Expect After Dermal Fillers?

Injectable fillers are done as an in-office procedure in a very short amount of time in our Bronxville or, NY office in a brief timeframe. Because of the anesthetic, the process is typically very tolerable and does not require downtime. You can expect bruising and swelling immediately after, but these symptoms will dissipate within a few short days. Results can last from a few months to a full year based on the product and the placement of injection. Touch-ups may be needed periodically to maintain outcomes.
