Dermal Fillers
Aging happens to the best of us – and unfortunately, there aren’t many people who escape those pesky signs of aging, such as lines, wrinkles, spots, and thin skin. Fortunately, in our world today, we have access to medical advances such as dermal fillers to offset some of those dreaded signs of aging– and restore a sense of suppleness and youth to our skin.
If you’d like to learn more about dermal fillers, what dermal fillers are, how dermal fillers work, and who is a good candidate for dermal fillers, read on to learn all there is to know about fillers.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are FDA-approved, medically regulated substances injected under the skin to provide a smoother, more youthful appearance.
The injectable is a gel-like product that works to flow into the areas requiring treatment, producing a natural-looking fullness to the area. The results consist of a more youthful appearance you can be proud of.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers work by injecting hyaluronic acid-based products or other natural or synthetic ingredients under the skin to fill in wrinkles and target different problem areas.
They stimulate collagen and elastin production, producing smoother, plumper, more elastic skin. The skin will feel more supple, soft, and youthful. Fine lines will be minimized, deep wrinkles will look smoother and less noticeable, and thin skin will appear plumper and healthier.
Who Are Dermal Fillers For?
Dermal fillers are perfect for those looking to target the effects of aging.
Anyone over the age of 18 who doesn’t have an allergy to any of the ingredients contained within the product and who is not under the care of a physician for any serious medical condition is a great candidate for dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are a good option for women who are middle-aged and unable to hold back the effects aging brings with creams or lotions alone.
What Are the Benefits of Dermal Filler Injections?
Some of the benefits of dermal fillers are as follows:
- Stimulation of collagen production
- Stimulation of elastin production
- Provides more volume to thinning skin for a plumper, fuller look
- Minimizing scarring, wrinkles, and fine lines
- More supple, softened skin
- Smoother skin
What Do Dermal Fillers Feel Like?
Dermal fillers usually don’t come with much pain involved. You may feel a pinch or burn as the filler is injected, but the pain should go away quickly. After the fillers have been administered, the treated area may feel a bit tighter until it adjusts to the applied product. You may feel some swelling after the treatment but icing the area throughout the day and the following day should help alleviate that sensation.
What Do Dermal Fillers Cost?
Depending upon the type of filler you’re due to receive, the amount of filler needed, and the follow-up treatments required, the price point will vary significantly per individual. Currently, prices range from $2,000-$3,500, with many variations impacting the overall price point.

Common FAQs
What can I expect after getting fillers?
After receiving fillers, you may experience a tightness in the treatment area– but this will only last temporarily. Once your skin gets accustomed to the product, the skin may stretch ever so slightly, and you will feel noticeable relief. You will probably experience some swelling which can be alleviated with ice packs for the first few days. The swelling should wear off quickly.
How long will my fillers last?
The results will vary from person to person. Various factors are at play with the longevity of the filler itself. That said, some people will see results lasting anywhere from 6 months to 5 years. Again, that all depends on many factors, such as what treatment was used, what product was used, how much product was applied, how many treatment sessions you had, and how well your skin takes to each treatment.
How many treatments will I need to go through?
That all depends on the product being used and what your goals are. If you have deep wrinkles and require more product and work, you will no doubt need more treatments than someone who is only contending with minimal lines. Your specialist can help you develop the best action for your specific needs.
