Dermal Fillers
Make them guess how old you are
Dermal fillers are products used to restore volume loss in the face, neck, and body.
Most dermal fillers on the market use a hyaluronic acid (HA) base to mimic the body’s natural version of HA. Each version has slightly different properties giving it a unique ability to restore volume in your face and body. These properties determine how soft the product is, how easy it is to mold into an area, and how long a product will last.
At Personal MD Wellness & Aesthetics, we offer a variety of dermal fillers, including Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvaderm Ultra XC Plus, Volluma, Vollure, and Vobella. There are many uses for dermal filler products. However, they are most commonly used to restore cheek volume, soften the shadows under the eyes, soften smile lines around the nose and mouth, soften marionette lines under the mouth, restore and enhance lip volume, and remold the chin and jawline.

Filler injections can help adult patients improve their appearance. Fillers help give a more youthful facial structure and alleviate an overly tired appearance. The areas treated most commonly are those where you lose facial volume, such as nasal labial folds (a.k.a. "smile lines"), shadows under the eyes, restoring cheek volume, and improving the appearance of the lips, including reducing "smoker's lines." There are many other "off-label" areas that fillers are used. If you wonder if fillers are the correct product to reach your aesthetic goal, schedule a consult today.
Each filler is unique and used to enhance different face and body areas. Some attract more water, giving a plump look to improve lips, nasolabial folds, cheeks, chin, and other facial features. Others tend to be more firm to enhance the cheek, chin, and jawline areas. The difference between the fillers lies in their formulation. The structure of each filler influences how much water is absorbed and how long it will last under the skin.
Which product and how much product to use is a decision your injector will discuss with you. We feel knowing the nuances of the different products highlights the importance of having a skilled injector as one of your top priority when deciding to use fillers.

Physical downtime from the procedure: none. Social downtime from the procedure: 1 week of downtime is typical due to bruising. Dermal fillers are given deeper than Botox injections and often result in mild to moderate bruising. In most cases, bruising can be covered with makeup but never get a filler less than two weeks before an important event.

With rare exceptions, most people are a candidate to try a filler. These HA products have been extensively studied and are very natural. Your doctor will review your medical history to ensure there are no apparent reasons you should avoid getting a filler treatment.
Yes. The Hylaruandase enzyme can melt the filler. This particular enzyme is most commonly used in the first 24 hours after injection in case of an unexpected complication from your procedure. Your injector should always have an ample amount of Hylaruandase on hand in case of emergencies.
