What are Dermal Fillers?

A dermal filler is a type of injectable treatment used to address signs of aging and enhance facial contours. These fillers work by restoring lost volume in the face, smoothing out deep wrinkles, and enhancing facial contours. Dermal fillers are made from various substances, with hyaluronic acid being a common ingredient.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body known for its hydrating and volumizing properties. Other types of dermal fillers include poly-L-lactic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite, which are used to treat deeper wrinkles and stimulate collagen production in the skin’s connective tissue.

Dermal filler injections are an outpatient procedure performed by a skilled surgeon, and they offer a non-surgical solution to a wide range of skin concerns, from deep nasolabial folds to thinning lips.

The FDA has approved several types of dermal fillers, including Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Sculptra, for their safety and effectiveness. These fillers can restore volume, smooth lines, and fill wrinkles, providing a more youthful appearance.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?

The ideal candidates for dermal filler treatments are those who wish to address concerns such as deep wrinkles, sagging skin, thinning lips, and hollow cheeks.

Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results of the dermal filler procedure. It’s also important for candidates to understand the potential risks and benefits of the procedure, including possible side effects at the injection site and the expected recovery timeline.

Dr. Anni Wong will conduct a thorough examination and review your medical history to determine if dermal fillers are the right treatment for you. Whether you’re looking to smooth deep wrinkles, restore lost volume, or enhance your facial contours, Dr. Wong’s expertise in dermal filler procedures can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Types of Dermal Fillers Offered by Dr. Anni Wong

Dr. Anni Wong offers a range of FDA-approved dermal fillers to meet the diverse needs and aesthetic goals of her patients. These include the following:

Juvederm

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that effectively addresses facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. It also enhances lip volume and smooths vertical lip lines, offering a natural-looking, youthful appearance.

Restylane

Restylane is another hyaluronic acid filler that restores facial volume and smooths wrinkles. It's particularly effective for treating under-eye hollows and enhancing the lips. Restylane can also stimulate natural collagen growth, extending its initial volumizing effect.

Radiesse

Radiesse is a unique dermal filler composed of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. It provides immediate volume and lift, acting as a scaffold under the skin to stimulate natural collagen growth. Radiesse is effective for treating deep wrinkles and enhancing facial contours.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid-based filler that works differently from other fillers. Instead of providing immediate volume, Sculptra stimulates the body's collagen production to gradually restore facial volume and smooth out wrinkles and folds.

The Dermal Filler Procedure

This outpatient procedure involves the use of injectable fillers, including FDA-approved dermal fillers, to restore volume and smooth lines on the skin’s surface. Here’s what you can expect during the dermal filler procedure:

Results from hyaluronic acid fillers can last from six months to over a year. A calcium-based filler offers results that can last up to a year or more due to its ability to stimulate collagen production.
