What are dermal fillers, and how do they work?


Dermal fillers are injectable substances designed to restore lost facial volume, smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance your natural facial contours. The most commonly used fillers are made from hyaluronic acid—a substance naturally found in your skin that plays a crucial role in maintaining hydration and plumpness. Other types of fillers are also available, such as those containing calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid, to address specific concerns and achieve optimal results for different facial areas.
 
Dermal fillers are injected beneath the skin’s surface to add volume to areas that appear collapsed or sagging over time. This can effectively minimize deep lines around the mouth or nose, enhance the lips, and lift the cheeks for a more youthful and refreshed appearance. One of the advantages of dermal fillers is that the results are visible almost immediately after treatment.
 
Since dermal fillers are gradually absorbed by the body, their effects are temporary, and maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain your desired look.

How long do the results from dermal fillers typically last?


The duration of your results depends on several factors, including the specific filler chosen, the area treated, your unique metabolism, and lifestyle habits such as sun exposure and smoking.

Most patients choose hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which typically provide natural-looking results that last between six and eighteen months. For those seeking longer-lasting effects—especially for deeper wrinkles or volume restoration—options like calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid fillers may offer results that endure up to two years or more.
 
Over time, your body safely metabolizes the filler, and you might notice the effects gradually fade. Regular touch-up treatments can help you maintain your refreshed, youthful appearance.

Are there different types of dermal fillers for different areas of the face?


At Bella MD Health and Wellness, we understand that everyone’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals are unique. That’s why we offer a variety of advanced dermal fillers, each specifically designed for different areas of the face and tailored to your individual needs.

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. At Bella MD, we use only FDA-approved fillers, including those made from hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and other safe, proven ingredients.

Our providers carefully select the right type of filler based on your goals and the area being treated:

Cheeks & Jawline: For areas that require more lift and definition, such as the cheeks and jawline, we use fillers with a thicker consistency. These provide structure and support, resulting in a more sculpted and youthful appearance.

Lips & Under-Eye Area: For delicate areas like the lips and under the eyes, our team prefers softer, more pliable hyaluronic acid fillers. These integrate smoothly with your natural tissue, ensuring subtle enhancement without lumps or irregularities.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles: To address superficial lines around the mouth or other sensitive areas, we offer specialized fillers that can be injected more superficially, delivering smooth, natural-looking results without bulkiness.

What should I expect during a dermal filler procedure?


During a dermal filler procedure, you can expect a relatively quick and minimally invasive treatment. The process begins with a consultation where your provider will assess your goals and decide on the appropriate filler type. Once the treatment plan is in place, the targeted areas will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream or local anesthesia will be applied to ensure your comfort.

The dermal filler, usually made of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials, will then be carefully injected into the skin using a fine needle. The procedure typically takes around 15-30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. You may experience mild discomfort, swelling, or redness at the injection sites, but these effects usually subside within a few hours to a day.

After the procedure, results are often visible immediately, with full effects appearing over the next few days. You can resume most normal activities right away, though it’s advised to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
