Fillers Q&A

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injections containing hyaluronic acid or other substances that add volume to tissues that are lax, wrinkled, thin, or asymmetrical. The treatment can improve your appearance without surgery or downtime. Dermatology Specialists of Atlanta offers Juvéderm®, and other injectables to match your beauty goals and perfect your look.

What are the benefits of dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers at Dermatology Specialists of Atlanta offer the following benefits:

  • Increased volume
  • Restored fullness
  • Reduction in lines and wrinkles
  • Plumper lips
  • Improved facial or body contours
  • Enhanced symmetry
  • Reduced nasolabial folds
  • Diminished marionette lines
  • Reduced vertical lip lines
  • Fewer cheek furrows
  • Younger-looking appearance

Dermal fillers can dramatically enhance a youthful appearance without invasive procedures. They can give you the look and confidence you long for, improving your quality of life.

Are dermal fillers right for me?

The Dermatology Specialists of Atlanta team determines which cosmetic injectables you’re a candidate for after discussing your medical history, reviewing your beauty goals, and examining areas of your face or body that concern you. They then personalize your aesthetic treatment plan.

In addition to dermal fillers, Dermatology Specialists of Atlanta also offers other anti-aging treatments, such as Botox®, Jeuveau®, additional neurotoxin injectables, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, chemical peels, radiofrequency microneedling, laser treatments, and other cosmetic procedures. You might receive more than one treatment.

What should I expect when receiving dermal fillers?

Your Dermatology Specialists of Atlanta specialist cleans and numbs the treatment area (if necessary) before gently injecting volumizing substances underneath the surface of the skin on your face or body. Each injection takes just a minute or two, and you often relieve multiple injections during each appointment. 

What happens after dermal filler injections?

After dermal filler injections, there is no downtime. You can resume typical daily activities but often develop temporary soreness, redness, or swelling. Ice the area to reduce swelling as needed. The results are visible immediately and often last 6-24 months* (or longer in some cases). In contrast, neurotoxin injectables usually last about four months*.

After the results wear off, schedule repeat injections at Dermatology Specialists of Atlanta to achieve long-lasting anti-aging outcomes.
