Dermal fillers in Ft. Lauderdale
Dermal fillers are non-surgical and minimally invasive injectables that aim to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours, with most treatments targeting the cheeks, lips, jawline, or nose. Dermal fillers are designed to provide natural-looking results without surgery, helping you to restore youthful volume or refine your features with little to no downtime.

Dermal fillers overview
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are an injectable mainly composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural compound found within the skin. Levels of hyaluronic acid, known for its ability to attract and retain water, decrease as we age. This results in a loss of volume that exacerbates the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles not caused by dynamic expressions. Dr. Palmer also uses biostimulatory fillers which are designed to cause your body to produce more of its own natural collagen. Facial fillers are a natural solution for restoring volume that can also be used to plump up the lips and improve contouring on the chin, jaw, and nose - contributing to a fuller and more balanced appearance.

Customized dermal filler treatment
Dr. Palmer uses injectable fillers to address concerns such as volume loss, poor facial contouring, and signs of aging - customizing each treatment to deliver natural-looking results.
In the cheeks, dermal fillers restore volume and provide a subtle lift, addressing hollowness or sagging caused by aging or weight loss for a fuller and more youthful appearance. Fillers can also improve the chin and jawline, enhancing shape, contour, and definition for a more balanced profile.
For non-surgical rhinoplasty, dermal fillers smooth bumps, refine the nasal bridge and improve symmetry—all without invasive surgery. Anyone wanting to enhance their lips can use fillers to achieve natural-looking volume while improving shape and symmetry between the upper and lower lips.
Around the under-eye area, nasolabial folds (nose-to-mouth lines), and marionette lines (wrinkles at the corners of the mouth), fillers help smooth deep creases and fill hollows, creating a rejuvenated and refreshed look.
Dermal fillers can be an effective treatment option for static wrinkles caused by a loss of volume. However, for dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, Dr. Palmer may recommend Jeuveau or Dysport, which can be administered in addition to dermal fillers for fuller rejuvenation.
Devoted care at every step
What to expect before and during your dermal filler procedure
After an initial consultation, which includes creating a treatment plan, answering your questions, and a short medical history assessment to determine your eligibility for dermal filler injections, Dr. Palmer may provide treatment during your first visit.
The treatment itself generally lasts between 20–30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being injected. The treatment itself is not painless but is generally well-tolerated, with some slight pinching and discomfort at the injection site being typical. After treatment, you can drive yourself home.
Better results. Faster recovery
Dermal filler results and recovery process
Dermal fillers are considered a minimally invasive procedure and generally require no downtime. However, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity and try not to apply pressure to the injection site, which may be slightly swollen or bruised, for a few days.
After your filler injection, expect to:
Return to work within 24 hours
Avoid strenuous physical activity for up to 24 hours

Dermal Fillers FAQ
Dermal fillers typically last for 6–12 months, with the hyaluronic acid being naturally metabolized over time.
Botox and dermal fillers do not provide the same effects. While Botox is useful for suppressing muscle movement that contributes to dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, dermal fillers target at-rest wrinkles caused by loss of facial volume.
Because dermal fillers are considered a cosmetic, elective treatment, they are generally not covered by insurance. There are many payment plan options available, which can be discussed in detail during your consultation.
Many fillers made of hyaluronic acid are designed to be naturally metabolized by the body over the course of 6–12 months.
Most people who have received filler injections consider it to be a worthwhile investment. However, results may vary and no procedure comes without risk—so it’s important to only receive treatment from an experienced and board-certified injectionist.
