What Fillers Can Address
Treat volume loss, contour concerns and static lines
Acne Scars
By lifting depressed scars, fillers can help create a smoother-looking skin surface when appropriate for the individual scar pattern.
Static Wrinkles
Fillers add volume beneath lines caused by collagen loss, sun damage and facial volume loss, such as nasolabial folds.
Lip Fillers
Fillers can add fullness, improve contours and help balance asymmetrical lips.
Jawline & Chin
Filler can define the chin and jawline, with treatment goals customized to create softer or more angular facial proportions.
Facial Contouring
Fillers can enhance proportion and symmetry by refining areas such as the cheeks, chin, jawline and nose.
Hand Rejuvenation
Restoring volume to the backs of the hands can soften the appearance of wrinkles, veins and tendons for a smoother look.
Candidate Considerations
Not every patient or concern is appropriate for filler
When BOTOX may be a better fit
Injectable fillers cannot treat every type of wrinkle. Dynamic wrinkles—lines caused by frequent muscle contraction around the eyes and brow—may be better addressed with BOTOX® Cosmetic or another neuromodulator.

Lip Fillers
Hyaluronic acid filler adds volume and shape. The source content notes typical longevity of about 6 to 12 months depending on the product.

Tips before and after treatment
Prepare for your appointment
- Have a thorough consultation and discuss realistic goals.
- The supplied content recommends avoiding aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E and other blood-thinning medications or supplements before treatment to reduce bruising risk.
- Stay well hydrated before your appointment.
Protect your early result
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated area unless directed by your provider.
- Avoid strenuous activity for 24–48 hours.
- Avoid saunas, hot tubs and extreme heat or cold for a few days.
- Continue to stay hydrated.
Hand Rejuvenation
Restore youthful-looking volume to the hands
An often-overlooked area

- Adds volume where the hands have become hollow.
- Can soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- May improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dermal Fillers FAQs
How long do dermal fillers really last?
The durability of your filler results depends on the filler used and the treatment area. Most hyaluronic acid fillers, such as JUVÉDERM and Restylane products, can last between 6 and 18 months. Sculptra and RADIESSE are bio-stimulators and usually last at least 18 months to 2 years.
Is dissolving your filler safe?
If you get hyaluronic acid fillers and are not satisfied with the results, the filler can be dissolved with injections of hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down HA fillers. The supplied content describes this as safe when performed by qualified providers.
How can I stop my filler from migrating?
Filler migration describes filler moving away from the intended treatment area. The source content notes that choosing a skilled injector and avoiding rubbing the area after treatment may help reduce this risk. If migration occurs and is bothersome, dissolving hyaluronic acid filler may be an option.
What’s the best age to start getting dermal fillers?
Women and men of different ages use fillers for different reasons. Younger patients may choose contouring treatments to enhance features such as the lips, cheeks or nose, while patients in their 30s, 40s, 50s and older may use fillers to address age-related volume loss and wrinkles.
