What are Dermal Fillers?

Wrinkle fillers (or simply fillers) are often injected to replenish lost facial volume. The face can lack volume for various reasons, but age and significant weight loss are commonly to blame. This treatment works by incorporating the liquefied dermal filler under the skin to fill areas lacking volume or shape. Injectable fillers are an excellent, nonsurgical option for Providence, UT individuals wanting to even out sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines to create a younger-looking face. They can also be incorporated into other cosmetic services to provide the benefits of a facelift without surgery, the presence of scars, and the required downtime. There are a variety of fillers that can help meet the expectations and goals of each patient. To determine which injectable fillers are suitable for you, we invite you to visit Providence Dermatology where Dr. Travis James can help you learn more.

For Providence, UT patients, dermal fillers could work for several different needs and provide a handful of benefits, such as:

  • Create facial volume to attain your optimal face shape
  • Rejuvenate and add volume to regions that have become hollow or sunken
  • Improve regions affected by sagging skin or creases
  • Increase your confidence in your skin and overall look

The ideal candidates for injectable fillers are those seeking to reduce the presence of wrinkles and fine lines without having a surgical facelift. Typically, those who have recently lost significant amounts of weight have spots on their face that lack volume and shape. These attributes make them good candidates for injectable fillers. They are also a great option for those who are not comfortable with the scars that can occur following a surgical facelift, as dermal fillers provide a scar-free alternative to lifted and tightened skin.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Prior to your treatment, Dr. James will meet with you to learn more about your aesthetic goals and decide what product will best achieve them. To begin the actual procedure, Dr. James will administer topical numbing cream as a local anesthetic to minimize the discomfort of the injections. Dr. James will decide the amount of filler that is necessary and will gradually and evenly inject it through a small needle. Depending on the desired outcome, either half or an entire syringe could be used.

What to Expect After Dermal Fillers

Immediately after your dermal filler injections, it is normal to experience some mild swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. Additionally, your fillers may feel firm or "lumpy," which is also an expected and temporary result. Bruising and swelling should subside within a few days to about a week. Over the next 1-2 weeks, you should begin to notice your fillers feeling softer and more natural. Depending on the type of filler used, where the fillers were injected, and other individual factors, your newly enhanced look may last for up to 12-18 months or longer before repeat injections may be needed.

I went in for cosmetic injections and while I was there, Dr. Travis James noticed bumpy hair follicles and patches in my hairline. I thought it was a result to the self tanner I was using, but he acted quickly with a full hair examination and diagnosed me with frontal fibrosing alopecia. He explained that if I started treating the areas immediately, then permanent hair loss could be prevented. I am so grateful that he was so observant and caught something so serious that I didn't even know that I had. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. James to anyone looking for a great doctor, not only for cosmetic needs, but also for any skin/hair condition!

About Us
How much do injectable fillers cost?

The cost of a dermal filler will vary depending on the type used and how much is needed to achieve desired results. In your consult, we will create a personalized treatment plan that matches your needs and goals. After this, your injector will be able to provide you with an estimated cost for your treatment, which will include any current specials we are offering.

How do I know which injectable filler is right for me?

The dermal filler used for you will depend on the area being treated as well as your wanted result. Depending on if you want to address fine lines or you want to get plumper lips, your injector will understand your needs before suggesting the correct filler for you. Since there are so many different brands of fillers on the market, it may be overwhelming to decide which one is the best for you, which is why we work hard to make sure you experience results you love.

What is the difference between wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers?

Wrinkle relaxers, like BOTOX®, treat fine lines and wrinkles (particularly on the brow and in the corners of the eyes) by reducing the movement of the underlying muscles. Injectable fillers add volume to fill in wrinkles, fine lines, and some scars. Injectable fillers may also be used to add more volume to your cheeks and lips plus to reduce the appearance of aging on the hands.
