What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable implants used by dermatologists to augment soft tissue and reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and other skin defects. These fillers can effectively increase facial volume and slow down the aging process, offering a quicker and more affordable alternative to surgical procedures such as facelifts. Most consist of a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that promotes hydration and fullness in the skin.
Benefits
- Biodegradable: Temporary or semi-permanent dermal fillers naturally degrade over time, eliminating the need for additional removal procedures.
- Quick and easy: Depending on the extent of treatment and the type of dermal filler used, the procedure can be completed in just a few minutes to an hour.
- Noninflammatory: Dermal fillers now include a numbing component, minimizing discomfort during the treatment and reducing the likelihood of swelling or inflammation at the injection site.
Areas You Can Treat with Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers can effectively address various skin issues in specific areas of the body. Here are some common concerns that can be treated with dermal fillers:
- Eye Area: Crow’s feet, under-eye bags wrinkles.
- Mouth Area: Smile or laugh lines, marionette lines, thin lips, and lip lines.
- Nose Area: Nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth).
- Other Areas: Acne scars, sunken cheeks, frown lines around the eyebrows, facial scars, jawline enhancement and atrophic scars.

With effects lasting between 12 to 18 months. Juvederm fillers can restore facial volume, correct deep folds and wrinkles, erase lines around the mid-face and eyes, provide natural contouring, enhance facial features and sculpt the jawline.

They’re also used for cheek and lip augmentation.
Sculptra
Sculptra contains a poly-L-lactic acid formulation that stimulates collagen production, resulting in long-lasting and natural-looking results. Sculptra can last up to two years, making it an ideal choice for facial lines, wrinkles, and volume loss.
Ideal Candidates for Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are suitable for addressing aging-related skin issues as well as enhancing lips, contouring facial features, and increasing volume in specific areas. If you struggle with any of the following conditions, dermal fillers may be a good option for you:
- Crow’s feet
- Lowered acne scars
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Fine lines and facial wrinkles
- Thin lips
- Smile lines
While dermal fillers are generally safe, we do not recommend this treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking blood-thinning medications, have certain chronic health conditions or have specific allergies.
Before & After Results
For Juvederm injections, results start becoming noticeable within two weeks and can last up to 18 months. Restylane results can be seen after the first treatment session and last an average of six months. Sculptra requires multiple treatment sessions over several months, with results appearing gradually and lasting up to two years.
What to Expect from Your Dermal Filler Appointment
When undergoing a dermal filler procedure at Studio 360 Med Spa, our professionals will ensure a comprehensive and personalized approach.
First, our aestheticians will discuss your expectations, pain tolerance level and medical history to determine the most suitable treatment plan. They’ll evaluate your face and specific area you want to address, and may take photographs to use as a baseline.
The appropriate filler will be chosen based on the condition to be treated, desired longevity, and material that will provide optimal results. All relevant information, including the treatment process, cost, and consent, will be documented and provided to you for reference.
For the procedure, the treatment area will be thoroughly disinfected. Most fillers contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, so we don’t need to apply a separate anesthetic. Your provider will then inject small amounts of the gel through a thin needle or cannula around the treatment area..
Recovery and Aftercare
Fillers don’t require any serious downtime, although the treated areas will be swollen for the next 7–10 days.
To ensure optimal results, it’s important to follow all aftercare instructions for your injector. Avoid massaging or pressing the injected areas for at least two weeks and avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures. We may recommend scheduling a follow-up a few weeks later to evaluate your results.

FAQs
Are dermal fillers safe?
Yes, all the dermal fillers offered at our med spa are FDA approved, meaning they have undergone rigorous testing and are considered safe to use. Most side effects reported from fillers are transient and mild, with few serious adverse events. Reduce your risk of unwanted side effects by only receiving fillers from a board-certified, licensed injector.
Are dermal filler injections performed under anesthesia?
Unlike surgical procedures, dermal filler injections are performed while the patient is awake, as they are non-surgical and minimally invasive.
Are the injections painful?
Most dermal filler brands include a numbing agent to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients report only feeling a slight pinch; however, pain levels can vary depending on individual pain tolerance and the injection technique used.
How long do the results of dermal fillers last?
The longevity of dermal fillers can vary depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual factors such as metabolism, skin type, and lifestyle. Generally, hyaluronic acid-based fillers can last between 6 to 18 months. During your consultation at Studio 360 Med Spa, our experienced providers will be able to give you a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs and treatment plan.
Can dermal fillers be reversed or removed?
Yes, one of the benefits of hyaluronic acid-based fillers is that they can be dissolved if you’re unhappy with the results or if a complication arises. An enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected into the treatment area to safely and effectively break down the filler. However, it’s important to remember that this should always be performed by a trained and experienced medical professional.
