What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to reduce signs of aging and enhance facial contours. They work by restoring lost volume, smoothing deep wrinkles, and adding definition to areas like the cheeks and lips.
One of the most common ingredients in dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps keep skin hydrated and plump. Other types of fillers, like poly-L-lactic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite, not only restore volume but also stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity over time.
This non-surgical procedure is performed in-office by a skilled provider and is an effective solution for concerns such as deep smile lines, hollow cheeks, and thinning lips. The FDA has approved popular fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Sculptra for their proven safety and effectiveness, helping patients achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance.

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:
Preparation
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed. A topical numbing agent is applied to ensure comfort during the dermal filler injections.
Injection
Using a fine needle or microcannula, Dr. Wong will inject dermal fillers into the targeted areas. The types of dermal fillers used can include hyaluronic acid fillers, calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse), and poly L lactic acid (Sculptra), among others.
Sculpting and Contouring
As the dermal filler is injected, Dr. Wong will sculpt and contour the area to achieve the desired cosmetic outcome. This can involve addressing deep nasolabial folds, smoothing deep wrinkles, or enhancing facial volume.
Duration
The entire dermal filler procedure typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the extent of the treatment and the number of areas being addressed.
Post-Injection Care
Immediate Recovery After Injectable Fillers
After getting dermal filler injections, most people can go back to their daily routine right away. You might have a bit of swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection spots, but these usually go away in a few days.
Dr. Wong may provide specific aftercare instructions, such as avoiding excessive sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and blood-thinning medications for a short period following the treatment. It is essential to follow these guidelines to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications.
