Restore Lost Volume & Refresh Your Appearance Using Fillers
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances designed to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, and enhance facial contours. These fillers are typically composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and volume. By replenishing hyaluronic acid levels, dermal fillers can plump up the skin, diminish wrinkles, and create a more youthful and refreshed look.
Dermal Filler Benefits
Dermal fillers come in many different types. Some include synthetic materials that your body can't easily break down. Others contain natural ingredients like hyaluronic acid (HA). We use primarily HA fillers because the body recognizes them. HA dermal fillers can provide benefits similar to a facelift without the trauma and extensive downtime. They make it possible to shape your face and augment certain facial features. They can also help you look years younger than you are by minimizing your wrinkles. Here are a few more incredible benefits fillers can offer you:
- Improved profile shape
- Reduced acne scars1
- More dramatic facial contours
- Improved self-confidence
- Boosted collagen levels
- Reduced appearance of wrinkles
- Improved skin hydration
- Enhanced cheeks, lips, and other facial features

This Treats
Dermal fillers are versatile and can address a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Smoothing out lines and wrinkles around the mouth
- Adding volume to the cheeks and temples
- Enhancing lip fullness and definition
- Softening under-eye hollows and dark circles
- Improving the appearance of scars and depressions in the skin.
How long do Dermal Fillers last?
The duration of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. In general, most dermal fillers last between six months to two years. Some fillers, particularly those with thicker formulations, may provide longer-lasting results.
To maintain optimal results, we recommend scheduling touch-up appointments as needed to replenish lost volume and preserve your desired look.
What Are Possible Side Effects From Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are popular because they work well and require little to no downtime. However, as with all aesthetic procedures, there are some minor risks associated with dermal filler injections. They include:
- Localized bruising, swelling, bleeding, and discomfort
- Asymmetrical appearance if fillers aren't injected properly
- Numbness in or around treatment areas
- A lumpy or bumpy appearance
- Migration of the filler to unwanted areas
- Damage to the skin
- An itchy rash
- Infection, which could cause necrosis (tissue death)
- Allergic reaction
- Vision problems
Most mild symptoms resolve without interventions within a few days. Serious side effects such as infection, allergic reaction, and vision problems are extremely rare after facial fillers. However, if you develop any concerning symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
How does an appointment work?
When you schedule a dermal filler appointment with us in Orlando, Dr. Phillips, you'll first meet with one of our skilled practitioners for a comprehensive consultation. During this consultation, we'll discuss your aesthetic goals, assess your facial anatomy, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and preferences.
On the day of your appointment, our practitioner will administer the dermal filler injections using a fine needle or cannula. The procedure is relatively quick and comfortable, with minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment, although some temporary swelling, bruising, or redness may occur.
How to Prepare for Your Dermal Filler Appointment
You don't have to do much before your dermal filler appointment. However, the treatment and subsequent recovery may go smoother if you do the following:
One Week Before Injections
- Stop using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen, Aspiring, and Aleve.
- Stop taking supplements like vitamin E, ginseng, garlic, and ginkgo biloba. These can thin your blood and increase your likelihood of bruising or excessive bleeding.
Two Days Before Injections
- Consider taking Arnica to minimize your bruising risk.
- Avoid tweezing, waxing, and any other type of hair removal in the dermal filler treatment area.
- Stop using topical anti-aging products such as tretinoin cream, glycolic acid, and retinoids. These can increase skin sensitivity and make your dermal filler appointment more uncomfortable.
One Day Before Injections
- Don't drink alcoholic beverages or smoke for at least 24 hours before and after your scheduled treatment
- Be prepared to show up to your appointment the next day with a makeup-free, washed face
- Ask your provider any remaining questions you may have about the upcoming procedure
