Fillers Specialist

What are fillers?

Dermal fillers are collagen or hyaluronic acid-based compounds injected directly into your skin. Unlike Botox®, dermal fillers don’t paralyze muscles. Instead, they instantly add firmness and contour by plumping the area to restore lost volume. Radiesse® uses a calcium-based gel for filling wrinkles and lines while Juvederm® uses hyaluronic acid.

Both dermal fillers stimulate collagen growth over time and have long-lasting effects. Dr. Lee considers dermal fillers safe and effective for immediate results and fresh looking skin in the long run.

Where are fillers used?

Dermal fillers create plumpness and volume in fine lines and deep creases, but Dr. Lee recommends using Radiesse and Juvederm in different patients, depending on specific patient needs and the types of creases that need to be restored. Both fillers provide lasting effects from laugh lines, smile lines, and other skin folds. Dr. Lee uses either during a facial rejuvenation.

For deep creases along the cheek, jawline, and nose, Radiesse is preferred by Dr. Lee. Radiesse also provides great lift and volume for augmenting the bridge of your nose or during an eyebrow lift to give you a more youthful appearance.

For the deepest of creases with smooth consistency, Dr. Lee suggests the use of Juvederm. Juvederm delivers rapid improvement and is considered safe for lip augmentation. Juvederm is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler approved for all skin types.

How noticeable are changes from fillers?

The idea behind using a filler is subtle change. A well-trained, experienced specialist enhances your natural features for an optimal result. The results are immediate, and Dr. Lee believes you shouldn’t look like you have filler, only look more like yourself.

Licensed providers understand how your filler makes you look in the end before starting the injection. For example, if your lower cheek is sagging, an injection near your cheekbone will likely give the best result because it raises the sagging skin instead of filling it.

How long will results of fillers last?

Dermal fillers last from a few short months through several years depending on the condition of your skin before injection and how well your skin is maintained after injection. Injections to your nose last longer than injections to your lips as well as there is less movement there.
