In regard to fillers, this is a broad term encompassing various brands and manufacturers. All hyaluronic acid-based fillers (HA fillers) are made with natural hyaluronic acid. Therefore, the chance of having an allergic reaction is greatly reduced. Additionally, it is safe and easily dissolvable with hyaluronidase if desired. This makes this class of filler one of the most popular and safest types available.
Dermal fillers work by using hyaluronic acid to plump the skin and fill in deep facial creases or areas affected by volume loss. Injections are used to treat various signs of facial aging, including moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles like nasolabial folds and marionette lines, as well as age-related volume loss. They are not intended for dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, but botulinum toxin injectables can be combined with facial fillers to address both concerns and achieve full-face rejuvenation.
We offer many popular HA fillers with proven safety and exceptional results. Your practitioner will choose a specific dermal filler based on the area that you would like treated and your unique facial features and anatomy. For example, thin fillers with a smooth gel formula, such as Volbella or Restylane, are placed in the tear troughs to replace lost volume and improve the look of under-eye hollows. Thin fillers are also usually used as lip fillers; this includes products like Juvéderm Ultra, Volbella, Restylane, Restylane Kyss, or Restylane Silk.
In the nasolabial folds, a medium-thickness filler is usually placed; the choices here are Juvéderm Ultra Plus, Restylane Lyft, and Vollure. Thicker injectable dermal fillers, such as Restylane Lyft, Restylane Contour, Juvederm Volux, and Voluma, can be used for temples and cheekbones as well as the jowl line to add facial volume and improve the facial contours.
There are even uses for hyaluronic acid fillers off the face, including products that can be used to add volume and smooth crepey skin on the chest and on the top of the hands.
There are many similarities among the different types of dermal filler products, as well as a few differences, all of which can help Dr. Jennifer Janiga and her associates select which one is right for you and for the specific area of your face or body that you would like to treat.
The main similarity is that they are all based on hyaluronic acid, which is safe and dissolvable. Most of the manufacturers make hyaluronic acid of different thicknesses, thus providing a wide variety of formulas for all the different areas of the face and body.
The differences among the hyaluronic acid fillers are very detailed, but generally they revolve around the thickness of the product and the longevity of the results. Fillers can be thin, medium, or thick. Depending on the product chosen, they can last anywhere from six months up to two years, or more!
Before undergoing a dermal filler procedure, we will review your medical history, current medications (such as blood thinners), and your cosmetic goals. Your doctor will explain the wide range of available fillers, such as those designed for nasolabial folds (smile lines), fine lines, vertical lip lines, or cheek augmentation, and will help determine which product is best suited to your unique facial anatomy. Patients are advised to avoid alcohol, aspirin, and certain supplements in the days before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising at the injection site.
Your dermal filler treatment will be performed in the comfort of our private office by a licensed healthcare provider. During the appointment, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to increase comfort. Using fine needles or cannulas, we will carefully inject small amounts of injectable hyaluronic acid into the skin’s connective tissue or deeper layers, depending on your needs.
The injection process is tailored to address your areas of concern, whether that means using a thinner filler for the tear troughs and lips, or a thicker formula for the jaw line, cheeks, or deeper folds. By selecting from a variety of FDA-approved dermal fillers, your provider can safely restore volume, smooth lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for a more youthful appearance.
Following your procedure, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, or mild bruising at the injection site. These side effects are common and typically improve within a few days. You’ll receive specific patient instructions from your provider, which may include avoiding strenuous activity, heat exposure, or massaging the area immediately after injections. Because most HA fillers are composed of gel-like substances that integrate with your natural soft tissue, the results look smooth and natural.
Most patients notice immediate improvement in facial contours and a reduction in lines and wrinkles, though the final natural-looking results continue to improve as swelling resolves. Depending on the thickness of the chosen filler, results may last anywhere from six months up to two years or more before being gradually absorbed by the body. Initial treatment can be followed up with routine maintenance injections to maintain smooth skin and a rejuvenated appearance.

Highly recommend the nurse practitioner Charlotte for all your skin care needs! I had never had Botox before so I was a little nervous about it. She made me feel comfortable and did an excellent job! I went back for a touch up after the first time I got it and she was able to fix exactly what was bothering me! Excited to keep seeing her 🙂
