What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable solutions designed to address common (and some uncommon) cosmetic concerns. They contain hyaluronic acid (which is why they are also often called hyaluronic acid fillers), a naturally occurring substance in the body. A specialist injects the solution under the skin, varying the amount of type depending on the cosmetic concerns you want to address.
With a multiple dermal filler options, Dr. Kauh can address a range of concerns, including:
- Enhancing the face’s contours
- Restoring lost facial volume
- Smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines
- Eliminating under-eye bags
- Boosting lip volume and contours
- Improving jawline definition
- Evening out skin texture
- Filling in acne scars
Treatment Overview: Dermal Filler Injections
A session for dermal fillers is quick, comfortable, and often immediately rewarding. Once your treatment plan is built, your specialist will numb the treatment area and inject precise amounts of filler into the area. That is the entire treatment! This process can be repeated for each area you want to treat. While the number and placement of injections can vary, the entire process typically lasts a matter of minutes. However, you can see results that will last for months (or more, depending on the solution used).
Patients can choose from several options, including Restylane fillers and PRF gel fillers.

Dermal Fillers FAQs
What are the benefits of dermal fillers?

Are dermal fillers right for me?
Dermal fillers continue to soar in popularity. Fortunately, they are open to a broad range of patients. From volume loss to preventing signs of aging before they appear, the treatment allows immense flexibility. Simply set up a consultation with Dr. Kauh and begin going over the types of dermal fillers we have. Build your treatment plan, and renew your aesthetic.
What is the recovery like?
Dermal filler recovery is typically very mild. At most, patients may have a couple of days of swelling and mild bruising. Even this varies between patients. The number of injections and their placement can also affect bruising and swelling. In general, patients can return to their routine right after their treatment. However, you will want to avoid strenuous activity and sun exposure until any swelling fades.
When will I see my results?
Patients tend to see rapid, same-day results with most fillers. While some swelling may need to resolve first, you can most likely see initial results before leaving our office. You can expect smoothed-out marionette lines, reduced nasolabial folds, restored volume, and more.
Some filler solutions produce more gradual results. For example, a filler designed to increase collagen product will create steadily increasing benefits over several weeks to months.
How long do dermal filler results last?
The effects of dermal fillers can last for months to beyond a year. Most patients prefer solutions that last about 6 to 18 months. This time frame gives them lasting results without the commitment of permanent changes. Ultimately, the duration depends on your type of dermal filler treatment and some individual factors. For example, patients with higher levels of physical activity may break down the filler more quickly.
Some tips to prolong your results include:
- Stay hydrated
- Maintain good skin care
- Avoid excess sun exposure
- Have an overall healthy lifestyle
- Sleep well and minimize stress
Can I repeat the treatment?
You can! Easily restore or update your results with a touch-up treatment. During your touch-up treatment, you can redo your previous results. Or, you can try out a new look. Many patients enjoy the opportunity to continue refining their personal aesthetic. With each new treatment, you can adapt or redefine your plan, ensuring the results always match your current preferences.
