Dermal Fillers

As we age, our facial tissue thins and loses volume, creating lines and creases, resulting in a more hollow look. Dermal fillers can replace that lost volume to smooth lines, restoring a more youthful appearance. Unlike surgical face lifts which stretch the skin with a lengthy recovery time, dermal fillers plump the skin and have little downtime.

What is it?

Dermal fillers, sometimes called facial fillers or injectable fillers, are used to fill fine lines, wrinkles and add volume. Fillers come in a variety of formulations created to specifically treat different skin aging concerns. Filler is not a one-size-fits-all approach – the best filler for you depends on the type of wrinkle, area, and whether added volume is required.

Fillers contain non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (or NASHA for short). Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in your body, has a jelly-like consistency, and breaks down naturally, making it the perfect base for skin fillers.

We know that no two people or faces are the exact same, and that’s why we offer a variety of different fillers. The best way to determine which filler fits your skin and goals is to book a free consultation with one of our injectors.

What does it do?

Dermal fillers can address a number of aging concerns including:

Smoothing lines around your nose and mouth
Restore volume to sunken cheeks or temples
Plump & enhance lips
Improve facial feature symmetry

Where can I get fillers?

Dermal fillers are one of our most popular treatments and often injected into the lips. But did you know that dermal fillers have a variety of uses and can be placed in many locations on the face?
Lips
As mentioned, fillers injected into the lips can add volume, shape, and be used to correct the edges and improve symmetry. Thin lips? Fillers can provide that perfect pout or canvas for your favorite shade of lipstick.
Under eye/tear trough
Fillers can be injected into the under eye, or “eye bag” area, to eliminate dark circles and puffiness, creating a more rested and youthful appearance.
Cheeks
Cheek fillers raise the volume of the area above and around your cheekbones providing the illusion of a more defined bone structure. It can also smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.
Jaw/Chin
Jaw and chin fillers can help build symmetry in your jaw line, reducing the appearance of a double chin or create a more dominant chin to balance facial features.
Nose
Also known as a “non-surgical nose job”, injecting fillers into the nose can disguise bumps, emphasize the tip, or build the bridge of your nose. This is an ideal procedure if you are looking to smooth your nose, without the commitment of going under the knife.

What to Expect

Before your appointment:

As with all services at Queen C Skin Studio, we ask that you book a free consultation to discuss your personal goals, budget, and needs.

3-5 days before your appointment, you should stop taking NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen), or blood thinners to reduce the risk of bleeding and bruising. Always confirm with your doctor before you stop taking any medications. You may be given a topical numbing anesthetic.

During your appointment:

Before your treatment you may be given a topic numbing anesthetic. Your injector will then strategically place a precise amount of filler beneath your skin.

The treatment process takes approximately 45 minutes. While some people notice results immediately, you may also experience mild bruising and swelling that can take a few days to subside.

After your appointment, you can go back to normal activity – but skip your work out for the day.

After your appointment:

How long your fillers will last depends on the product, area of treatment, and your skin. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last from 6-18 months.
