Fillers Q & A

What are fillers?

Fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are a minimally invasive cosmetic injection that adds volume under your skin to smooth out lines and creases to refresh and revitalize your tired look. 

As you get older, the fat under your skin naturally diminishes, allowing the muscles that cause your skin to fold and crease to work closer to the surface. The lost volume also leads to stretching and sagging of your skin. 

The dermal fillers used at Dana Point Dermatology replace the lost volume under your skin to restore your natural, youthful look. 

What beauty concerns can fillers fix?

The aesthetic team at Dana Point Dermatology uses fillers to fix many beauty concerns that affect both men and women. You may want to consider a consultation if you’re looking for a simple solution to:

• Smooth out lines around your mouth and cheeks
• Fill in the creases between your eyebrows
• Add volume to your thin lips
• Lessen the appearance of your recessed acne scars

The aesthetic experts at Dana Point Dermatology have provided thousands of cosmetic injections and understand the subtle anatomical and functional differences in the facial structure of men and women and adjust their treatment plans accordingly — altering type of filler and placement of filler — to provide both sexes with a natural look. 

The team also pays close attention to facial balance and symmetry to match the natural structure of your face. 

What can I expect during filler injections?

Your filler injections at Dana Point Dermatology are customized to meet your specific aesthetic goals and needs. Because the team uses hyaluronic acid and other soft fillers, a skin test isn’t needed prior to your cosmetic appointment. 

After cleaning your skin with an antibacterial agent, your clinician may apply a numbing agent to your skin to ease any discomfort prior to injecting the fillers. 

Then, with a careful and attentive hand, your clinician injects the dermal filler into the desired areas to produce a subtle correction to rejuvenate your look. 

The entire procedure takes an hour or less. While you may experience some redness at the site of the injection, the results of your filler treatment are immediate. 

With daily use of sunblock, your fillers should help you retain a more revitalized look for a few months or as long as a year, depending on the type of filler used.
