What are Dermal Fillers?
Juvéderm dermal fillers are meant to help reduce and/or remove wrinkles and fine lines on your face and around your smile. Though this appears similar to BOTOX treatment, there’s a significant difference between the two solutions. While BOTOX is designed to relax the facial muscles, dermal fillers are supposed to fill the area of the skin to return lost volume. The injection consists of collagen that will be administered to the parts of your face where wrinkles may have formulated, such as the cheeks or jaw. The entire process only takes about 5-10 minutes per injection, and you can be sure to enjoy your results for around 3-9 months with proper maintenance.
Who is a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?
It’s important to consult our team about your specific cosmetic goals, as some treatments may be more beneficial than others. However, dermal fillers are generally great for those who are concerned about:
- Scarring and fine lines

- Sunken or drooping cheeks
- Bags under the eyes
We will also need to ensure that you have good overall health and are dedicated to maintaining healthy skin for the long term. Our team will answer any questions and concerns that you might have during your consultation so that you understand the treatment more thoroughly.

Dermal Fillers FAQs
At What Age Can I Start to Get Dermal Fillers?
There’s no specific age that’s considered “right” for getting Juvéderm dermal fillers, as it depends on your individual goals and skin concerns. However, the FDA has approved the use of dermal fillers for adults who are over the age of 22, and many people start the treatment in their mid-to-late 20s or early 30s. As long as a patient is in good health and has realistic expectations, dermal fillers can help young and old patients alike. A consultation with us can help determine when the best time for treatment is based on your needs.
Do Dermal Fillers Have Side Effects?
Just like with any other procedure, there are some potential side effects when getting dermal fillers. The most common ones include redness, swelling, discomfort, bruising, itching, or a rash around the injection site. These can all occur very soon after the procedure, but they usually fully dissipate within one to two weeks and aren’t worrisome. Other less-common side effects include discoloration at the infection site or firm lumps beneath the skin. In very rare cases, there might be leakage of the filler, movement of the filler, or injury to a blood vessel or nearby tissue. If you have any concerns regarding side effects or you think you’re experiencing a rare complication, do not hesitate to call us right away.
How Long Can I Expect My Results to Last?
The length of time that dermal fillers last relies on a number of factors, including the treatment area, the skin’s general elasticity, and the type of fillers used. Since every person is different, during your consultation, our team will be able to give you a better idea of how long you can expect your personal results to last. That said, most dermal fillers generally last between 6 months and 1 year, and you can receive the treatment again if it’s needed. After getting them, you should be able to spot the difference almost immediately; your skin will look revitalized and refreshed in a totally natural way!
What Happens If I Stop Getting Dermal Fillers?
Many patients have doubts about getting dermal fillers because they’re worried that if they stop getting the injections, their skin will become wrinkly or saggy. But the truth is, while the effects of fillers will wear off after months or years, the treated area is likely to return to its original state, and only the benefits of the fillers will be gone. If you start up dermal fillers again, you’ll see your face return to its more youthful appearance. It’s also important to note that aging does cause your face to naturally lose some of its volume, so if you discontinue fillers, you may notice more prominent wrinkles and creases over time.
