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. ![Close-up of a woman's face in profile with hair pulled back](https://a-us.storyblok.com/f/1022946/2000x621/3e29bfcfec/depositphotos_692779284_l.jpg) * * * 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.

You may be a good candidate for dermal fillers if you're seeking a non-surgical solution to restore facial volume, smooth wrinkles, reshape your nose, or enhance features like your lips or cheeks. Ideal candidates are in good overall health with no active skin infections and have realistic expectations about what can be accomplished with dermal fillers. With dermal fillers, we can address: * Loss of volume in the face * Deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines * Small or uneven lips * Under-eye hollows * Acne scars * Uneven nose shape or dorsal hump * Deficient chin or jawline * * * State-of-the-art-care ## 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. ![Black-and-white profile of a woman with curly hair, chin raised](https://a-us.storyblok.com/f/1022946/891x1188/6096aea1ba/woman-smiling.jpg) * * * 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. ![Gloved hand touching a woman's nose while she wears a surgical cap](https://a-us.storyblok.com/f/1022946/730x966/a043b48e5e/rhinoplasty-procedure.jpg) * * * 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 * Avoid touching or applying makeup to the injection site for 24 hours * See visible results immediately ![Before and after side profile photos of a woman's nose](https://a-us.storyblok.com/f/1022946/730x906/13a859582e/rhinoplasty-results.jpg) * * * ## Why choose Dr. Palmer for your dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers typically last for 6-12 months, with the hyaluronic acid being naturally metabolized over time. ### What is better, Botox or fillers? 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. ### Will insurance cover dermal fillers? 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. ### Does filler dissolve on its own? Many fillers made of hyaluronic acid are designed to be naturally metabolized by the body over the course of 6-12 months. ### Are dermal fillers worth it? 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. * * * Transformation awaits ## Ready to take the first step?
