Dermal Fillers

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injections containing safe natural substances, such as hyaluronic acid (JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, etc.), calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra®), polymethylmethacrylate, or another FDA-approved substance designed to add volume to your eyes, cheeks, lips, or other areas. 

What are dermal fillers used for?

Dermal fillers available at Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation may offer the following benefits:

• Increased tissue volume
• Smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin
• Fewer lines and wrinkles
• Plumper lips
• Reduced tissue sagging
• Improved facial symmetry
• Enhanced facial or body contours

Dermal filler injections are simple, fast, highly effective anti-aging treatments that don’t require surgery or downtime. More than three million people yearly in the United States receive dermal fillers.

Am I a candidate for dermal fillers?

To determine which dermal filler injections are best suited for your needs, the Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation team examines your skin, reviews your medical history, and discusses your aesthetic goals. They customize a treatment plan that offers a long-lasting, superior outcome.

What happens during dermal filler injections?

Before receiving dermal fillers, your Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation specialist cleans your skin and numbs the treatment area. They use a very fine needle to gently inject filler substances underneath your skin while you relax. 

The treatment takes just a minute or so for each injection, though you typically receive multiple filler injections during each treatment session. You might also be a candidate for Botox®, Dysport®, or other neurotoxin injectables combined with fillers for a non-surgical facelift.

What should I expect after receiving dermal fillers?

After filler injections, the treated areas may be temporarily swollen, red, or tender. There’s no downtime needed so that you can resume typical daily activities immediately afterward. While the results are visible immediately after receiving dermal fillers, the final result appears after all swelling subsides. Apply ice to the treated areas if necessary to minimize swelling.

Dermal fillers often last several months, even years, depending on the type of filler you receive. Repeat filler injections offer long-term anti-aging results. Your specialist determines when to schedule your next series of injections.
