Dermal Fillers & Injectables Q & A
How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal fillers are the latest and most advanced way for you to reverse the effects of aging and skin damage, without doing anything invasive. Some of the most in-demand injectables are described below.
Juvéderm®
Juvéderm is one of the original lines of dermal fillers and remains the leading collection of hyaluronic acid fillers. The synthetic hyaluronic acid gel in Juvéderm instantly plumps and contours your skin right when it’s injected. As Juvéderm gradually dissolves over time, it stimulates new collagen production for seriously firmer, tighter skin.
Kybella®
Kybella is an injectable specifically targeted at moderate to severe fat below the chin that destroys fat cells over time
Bellafill®
Bellafill is a dermal filler that contains a collagen gel and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres. Not only does Bellafill add volume immediately, but the microspheres also stay in place to provide long-lasting structural support for naturally smoother-looking skin.
Botox®
Though not a dermal filler, Botox is a top-requested botulinum injectable that’s either used as a standalone treatment or in combination with dermal fillers. Botox works by blocking cell signaling involved in muscle movements. This forces your muscles to relax, which allows the skin to smooth out naturally.
What can dermal fillers treat?
Dermal fillers, as well as Botox, are ideal for resolving just about any skin imperfection you may have. These clinical-grade injectables can treat and minimize the appearance of:
- Acne, injury, or surgical scars
- Nasolabial folds
- Forehead lines
- Sunken cheeks
- Parenthesis lines
- Frown lines
- Thinned lips
- Lipstick lines
- Crow’s feet
Your dermal filler and injectable treatment package from the office of Dr. Jane H. Lisko, MD, is entirely personalized to you. Dr. Lisko may be able to treat other imperfections you have, too.
Do dermal fillers hurt?
As with any type of injection, it’s normal to feel some stinging or burning. However, you shouldn’t be in severe pain while getting dermal fillers or Botox. To help put your mind at ease and minimize any discomfort you do feel, Dr. Lisko can have you come in about 20-30 minutes before your appointment to apply a topical numbing cream.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Dermal fillers are among the longest-lasting aesthetic treatments available, with results lasting about 12-24 months. Bellafill lasts for even longer in some cases. Dr. Lisko finds that Botox tends to provide superior results for about four months before you need re-treatment.
