What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical solution for addressing some of the most common signs of facial aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss. Over time, the skin loses subcutaneous fat and collagen, producing a hollow, tired appearance. Dermal fillers restore lost volume and smooth out deep lines, providing a refreshed and youthful look. Unlike BOTOX, which relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, dermal fillers add volume directly beneath the skin, making them ideal for enhancing lips, cheeks, jawlines, and more.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Our skin’s natural support structures diminish as we age, causing it to sag and develop wrinkles. Dermal fillers are designed to counteract these effects by adding volume to areas that have lost their youthful fullness. They can also plump thinning lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases, and even improve the appearance of recessed scars or minor facial asymmetries.

The Juvéderm Line of Dermal Fillers

Dr. Singh prefers to use Hyaluronic Acid (HA) based fillers, particularly Juvéderm, for their safety, effectiveness, and natural-looking results. HA is a substance naturally found in the body that helps to retain moisture and keep the skin hydrated and plump. Juvéderm smooths deeper lines and wrinkles while enhancing facial volume.

Juvéderm is one of the most popular and widely used HA-based dermal fillers. It is renowned for providing smooth, long-lasting results with minimal downtime. Juvéderm can be used in various areas of the face to achieve a more youthful appearance, including the cheeks, lips, under the eyes, and nasolabial folds. The treatment is quick, typically taking only 15-30 minutes, and the results can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the specific product and treatment area.

My jaw looks slimmer and it also helped with clenching my jaw. I will be definitely going back with Dr. Singh for retouch on Botox and fillers!

  • Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Smooth out lines around the mouth, nose, and forehead.

What Facial Areas Can be Treated with Dermal Fillers?

Dr. Singh offers dermal filler treatments in several key areas to enhance and rejuvenate your facial appearance:

  • Eyes and Brows: Smooth crow’s feet and lift the brows.
  • Forehead: Reduce the appearance of deep forehead lines.
  • Cheeks: Restore or add subtle volume to hollow cheeks for a more youthful contour and a lifting effect.
  • Lips: Plump and define the lips.
  • Jawline and Chin: Enhance jawline definition or treat a square jawline.
  • Nasolabial Folds: Fill in deep lines running from the nose to the mouth (laugh lines).
  • Under Eye Bags: Address hollows and puffiness under the eyes.

With a highly customizable approach, Dr. Singh will work with you to determine the best treatment plan based on your specific individual condition and aesthetic vision for your look.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

The effects of Juvéderm and other HA-based fillers are temporary, typically lasting between 6 to 18 months, depending on the area treated and the specific product used. Over time, the body gradually absorbs the filler, and the treated areas return to their original appearance. Many patients schedule regular sessions to maintain their results and continue to enjoy a youthful, refreshed look.

What to Expect: Your Private Treatment Experience with Dr. Singh

Your journey with dermal fillers begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Singh. He will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the best treatment plan to achieve your desired results. Before the session, Dr. Singh may advise you to avoid certain medications or supplements, such as blood thinners, to minimize the risk of bruising.

During the session, Dr. Singh will cleanse the treatment area and, if desired, apply a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort. The actual injection process typically takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. After the procedure, you can immediately resume your regular activities, though Dr. Singh may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for a short period to allow the filler to settle.
