What are Dermal Fillers and How Do They Work?


Dermal fillers are gel-like substances made from Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that helps to keep skin hydrated and plump. When injected into the skin, dermal fillers can help to restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This volume manipulation allows our skilled professionals to contour the face and hands, restoring your youthful, supple appearance. While there are many types of dermal fillers, they all work to build natural-looking volume in a controlled manner.

 Treatment

During the treatment, a small amount of dermal filler is injected into the skin using a fine needle. The procedure is relatively quick and usually takes only a few minutes. There is minimal discomfort, and most patients report only a slight pinching sensation. The effects of dermal fillers can be seen immediately and can last up to six months. After this time, the treatment can be repeated to maintain the desired results.

  • At BeautyOne all of our treatments are preceded with a free consultation with one of our expert staff. Together, we’ll create a treatment plan that best suits your needs. We review your concerns, expectations, skincare regimen, price estimates, and your relevant medical history during your session. This information helps ensure you get the results you’re looking for with realistic expectations. Skin treatments are 100% personalized and can vary in strength, the number of sessions, and the combination of treatments.

    Before the procedure, photographs will be taken to have record for yourself so you can see the improvement that has occurred from the treatment. A consent form will be given to you, along with a brief health history to rule out any contraindications between the injections and allergies or medical conditions that you may have.

    Before your treatment, numbing cream can be applied to the skin, or lidocaine can be injected for your comfort. During the injection, you may experience some pressure at and around the injection area.

  • The actual treatment usually takes around 40 -60 minutes total.

  • Dermal fillers are relatively painless if performed by a professional trained, skilled, and experienced injector. All dermal filler procedures are simple and last up to 30 minutes. However, the dermal filler procedure varies from person to person, concerns, and severity of the treated area.

  • Typically, the results are seen instantly. Your results will gradually improve over the course of 2–4 weeks after your treatment.

  • You may experience redness and swelling in the injection area, which will subside in 24–48 hours.

  • You should not have dermal filler injections if you:

    • Have cutaneous disorders, inflammation, or an infection at or near the treatment site.

    • Are known to have hypersensitivity to lidocaine and/or amide local anesthetic agents, hyaluronic acid, or a history of severe allergy or anaphylactic shock.

    • Have  autoimmune diseases.

    • You are pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Generally speaking, there are two categories of people who will benefit from Dermal Fillers, patients who are noticing changes in the face due to aging and volume loss, and patients wanting to enhance features, like defining their jawline and cheekbones or adding lip volume.
