What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore facial volume, smooth lines, and enhance contour. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvéderm and the RHA Collection attract hydration and provide structural support beneath the skin. They refill areas that appear hollow, soften creases, and refine facial features while maintaining a natural, rested appearance.

What to Expect During Dermal Filler Treatment

Treatment begins with a focused evaluation and cleansing of the targeted areas. A topical numbing agent may be applied for comfort. Using fine needles or a cannula, Dr. Bolitho places filler with careful attention to depth, proportion, and balance to achieve refined, natural-looking results.

Dermal Filler Recovery and Results

Most patients resume normal activities shortly after treatment. Temporary swelling or tenderness may occur and typically resolves quickly. Results are visible right away and continue to improve as the filler integrates with the tissue. Depending on the product and treatment area, results may last several months to two years.

Alternative or Related Non-surgical Options

Patients seeking additional or complementary rejuvenation may consider:

  • Neuromodulators: Treatments such as BOTOX, Jeuveau, and Daxxify to soften expression lines.
  • Kybella: An injectable solution for reducing submental fullness.
  • Laser and energy-based treatments: Options designed to refine skin texture and tone.
  • Microneedling: A collagen-stimulating treatment that improves skin texture, firmness, and overall radiance.
