Fillers Specialist

What are fillers?

Fillers are cosmetic injections that add volume to your skin. Many of the visible signs of aging develop due to skin volume loss from a decrease in collagen production and thinning layers of subcutaneous fat. 

Without support from fat and collagen, your skin loosens and sags. Fillers restore lost volume and provide the necessary support to freshen your look. 

Metroderm DC: Medical, Laser, and Aesthetic Dermatology Center uses fillers that contain hyaluronic acid, including Juvéderm®, Juvéderm Voluma™, and Restylane L, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Kyss, Restylane Lift®.

The board-certified dermatologists have been using fillers to enhance their patients’ natural beauty for 35 years. 

Am I a candidate for fillers?

When you come in for a fillers consultation at Metroderm DC: Medical, Laser, and Aesthetic Dermatology Center, your dermatologist conducts a thorough evaluation to determine if fillers are the right choice for you. 

You may be a candidate if you’re searching for a non-surgical treatment to:

• Smooth out lines and wrinkles
• Plump up thin lips
• Improve facial symmetry
• Enhance sunken cheeks
  
  

The experienced dermatologists at Metroderm DC: Medical, Laser, and Aesthetic Dermatology Center offer many cosmetic dermatology treatments and work closely with you to design a plan that best fits your needs. 

What happens during treatment with fillers?

Your dermatologist performs filler treatment at Metroderm DC: Medical, Laser, and Aesthetic Dermatology Center in an hour or less.

First, your dermatologist cleanses your skin with an antibacterial agent and may apply a topical numbing agent to minimize discomfort during your injections. Your dermatologist then carefully and expertly injects the filler into place with the use of a Cannula to decrease risk and bruising. The effects and benefits are immediate. 

The dermatologists at Metroderm DC: Medical, Laser, and Aesthetic Dermatology Center don’t just fill in the lines and creases, they rebuild volume in your face for a more natural look. 

What happens after treatment with fillers?

You may have some redness and swelling at the site of your injections, but these side effects disappear quickly. Results are immediate.

There’s no need for downtime following filler injections, but your dermatologist may recommend you skip intense physical activity for a day or two to prevent bruising. 

How long do fillers last?

How long your fillers last depends on the type of filler used. In general, the hyaluronic acid fillers available at Metroderm DC: Medical, Laser, and Aesthetic Dermatology Center last nine months to a year or more. 

The cosmetic dermatologists recommend you repeat your filler injections as needed to maintain your youthful look.
