Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers adjust the contours of your skin and tissues by introducing soft, supple volume under your skin on various parts of your face or hands. At Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness in Idaho Falls, Idaho, John Lasseter, MD, and the highly trained team place dermal fillers in your cheeks, lips, temples, or hands to enhance your natural features. To find out how dermal fillers might fit into your cosmetic treatment, call Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness or schedule an appointment online today.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are a type of injectable that provides soft volume for under your skin. This volume can augment areas that never had much volume or restore some of the plumpness your face or hands lose with age. 

The team at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness is highly trained and experienced in injecting dermal fillers in areas where the volume looks both natural and flattering with your natural features. During a consultation, you discuss your goals, and they study your facial contours so they can map out the placements of the injections. 

Getting fillers at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness takes less than an hour, and there is minimal recovery time afterward. You can see your results right away. Be sure to use ice to gently bring down any bruising and swelling. 

What results can I expect from dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers offer natural-looking results because they mimic the appearance of subdermal fat under your skin. Certain dermal fillers contain ingredients that stimulate the production of collagen in your skin to boost thickness and firmness, which leads to long-lasting results. 

The dermal fillers at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness can help you achieve:

• Fewer wrinkles
• Plumper lips
• More symmetrical facial contours
• Plumper cheeks
• Less prominent lower eyelid hollows

When it comes to using dermal fillers for wrinkles, they work best for larger wrinkles and folds that result from sagging skin. If you want to minimize the fine lines that show up because of your facial expressions, such as crow’s feet or frown lines, you can use neurotoxin injectables like Botox® or Xeomin® instead. 

How can I maintain the results of my dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are temporary and typically offer results for six months to a year or longer, depending on the product you use and its placement. The team at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness talks to you about your options and estimates how long your initial results can last. 

If you’re happy with the results and want them to continue, you can return to Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness for a follow-up appointment and get additional filler injections in the same areas.
